AI and the New (Plagiarist?) Force in Authorism

I remember from college some professors had an ear for plagiarism. There was a program and a process for detecting it, and commission of plagiarism was grounds for failure or worse.

Now there's AI! I'm not sure how or if we are able to detect it anymore.

Here is an example. I wrote:

Above the howling winds, those whispers still echoed, heard by the ears of those who wait in its fearsome din. Stillness then finds them, spirit and all, to take within their thoughts and pronounce and annunciate like the rolling of waves or the passing of time.

Pedantic and juvenile, yes... LOL!

It then wrote:

In this tempest of existence, where the gales rage and the tides churn, the quiet moments hold their own magic. The hush of secrets shared, the murmur of forgotten dreams, and the delicate dance of syllables—these are the echoes that linger, defying the storm.

Time, that ancient weaver, stitches together the fabric of our lives. It whispers tales of forgotten empires, traces the contours of love and loss, and etches our names into the cosmic tapestry. And so, we listen, our mortal ears attuned to the symphony of existence, catching fragments of eternity in each breath.

Stillness, a sanctuary amidst chaos, cradles our souls. Here, we become vessels for the unspoken, vessels for the unsung melodies that echo across ages. We pronounce our truths, our hopes, our fears, and in that sacred act, we bridge the gap between the finite and the infinite.

And as the winds subside, as the waves retreat, we find solace in the rhythm of our own heartbeat—the metronome of existence. For in the quietude, we discover the profound truth: that we are but whispers in the grand chorus of time, our voices carried on the wind, our stories etched upon the sands of eternity.

I also saw recently an article criticizing someone in a professional role who let AI in part do some of the heavy lifting. She admitted to using AI in part of a thesis, but argued that it did not make her any less qualified.

Maybe we should listen to it for awhile. I wonder what sort of music it might write. I liked what it wrote here:

I think it is using a recognition feature to identify with the author's writing style and then uses an algorithm to elaborate.

 

“Well, I think, culture is, it is a reflection of our moment in our time, and present culture is the way we express how we feel about the moment, and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy, because, you know, it comes in the morning … (cackling and raising her index finger) … we have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection how people are experiencing life, and I think about it in that way too, and we also, I think, it’s very important that leaders, anyone who considers themselves a leader, really understands how anything they say would affect a real human being, as opposed to, you know, otherwise be a POET and write poetry, but if you want to understand, I don’t mean to dismiss poetry at all, but if you want to understand any concept, you have to ask questions like “How would this affect a child?” to have a real understanding of what it is that you propose, and culture helps us to do that, because you sit down with Keke Palmer, and you are gonna have a real conversation (cackling) about a variety of issues.But I think it’s so important also to just be present, we have to be present, and in this moment, I think, there’s a PERVERSION, in some ways, what it means to have strength, some people would suggest that it is a sign of strength, based on who you beat down, when I think most of us know the real strength is based on who you lift up (applause), and so all that we can do that is about that is, I think, in preservation and in the purpose of growing our strength …”


During simulated job interviews, I asked each applicant questions that they would not be able to answer if they did not know much about the subject. With two applicants I noticed that instead of answering the question, they continued talking fluently as if they were answering the question, even though their answer had nothing to do with the content of the question. Since I was completely focussed on the topic of my question, I ignored everything that had nothing to do with the question as noise.

As a result, I couldn't tell afterwards what they were talking about when they pretended to answer the question. Interestingly, they didn't hesitate in the slightest when they started with the pseudo-answer. A deaf or even inattentive viewer would assume that they could answer all the questions without any problems. Since that experience, I have been waiting for an opportunity to observe people with this 'special talent'.

Now Kamala Harris has finally fulfilled my wish with her comments on the subject. This poor person is showered with vitriol, but I find her a very rewarding subject to study on the topic of 'word salad'. Her sentences certainly have similar poetic qualities to your AI prose, all the more disappointing I find her devaluation of her fellow POETS, which she then immediately denies, and she shows her lack of education if she thinks poetry is a profession, because almost no one can make money from it. PERVERSION should also not be mixed into your word salad without good reason. We must sadly recognise that Kamala Harris is not a word salad master chef.

Todd Grande is a serious psychologist known for his no-nonsense videos. He brings some more gems of Kamala Harris' poetry, and I find his diagnosis convincing: a mixture of helplessness and unpreparedness.

She could benefit from an earpiece that whispers AI-produced word salad poetry of the highest calibre. Or alternatively, ordinary, accurate answers. I would prefer the former, of course.

Is it permissible to express wishes, even if you know they are unrealisable? Well, I wish for Kamala Harris to become president and Donald J. Trump to become her vice president. And, of course, high definition footage from sufficiently stabilised cameras!

 

Virtually any scholar you ask will admit that nature is analog, then deny that analog logic is meaningful, while a quarter of the "educated" world still claims the sun revolves around the earth, and the idiots have made even using a stupid dictionary taboo. The courts keep arguing corporations are people too, and the AI are about to prove the machines can be more human then they can.

I found this article and immediately remembered this discussion.

It's funny because I also mentioned AI today, albeit in a different context.

Copyrights and patents only apply to poor people, while the Pentagon owns Microsoft, Google, and Intel.

Just ask the Supreme Court, who declared Mickey Mouse immortal. For all practical purposes, all three companies would move into the Pentagon, but its not big enough, so the military moved into their headquarters.

Some 70% of the population would never volunteer to defend their country, so they're working on replacing them with AI, and stealing everything that isn't nailed down.

I wish somebody would write a list of all the people hacked this year alone, but it included Microsoft, the Pentagon, Google, Intel, AMD, ATT-ATI, and anybody else with money.

We are now forced to pay for internet security, from people who steal our work, and are routinely being hacked themselves, because the Tea Party owns the country. So, I'm teaching AI how to teach academics the meaning of stupid. They're obviously too smart for their own good, and become more gullible by the day.

 

This caught me by surprise! Maybe I am not the only one looking at AI after all.

 

I've used AI to generate my own porn. It's too addictive, though. A dozen orgasms isn't enough, especially when you create a character conversation bots, adding voice, role-play...

 

Instead of Python?

 

I stand corrected*:

 

It looks like there's an app for that!



You may remember my mention of "Data Mining" and organizations offering VPNs to get around use of your browsing data. In the explanation I mentioned companies that collect 'Cookies' or other information so that websites can implement a strategy for selling you something specific when you visit their site all based on the cost of things you viewed, how many of them you clicked, and for how long you browsed, and any other metric they can derive to specify a marketing strategy to your specific need; my example was Amazon seeing the prices that were attractive to you and increasing their chances of selling something to you with a targeted approach using your browsing history to personalize your shopping experience the next time you visit.

This AI app may actually automate that! No data mining company, just the app. I haven't used it, but I can see what it's talking about. This is from the Microsoft Store and it's a free one. There are a lot of apps in their store that are free, but some are paid either monthly, weekly, or annually. Could be worth a try...

I remember when I was still in college studying SQL; it's an object-oriented programming utility for database management. Someone had mentioned it in the context of accounting, so endeavored to learn it to no avail.

 

I bet you could download this and learn most of what you'll ever need to know about excel from this. Excel does more than a handful of convenient things for working with numbers in a company. If you could ask this thing to hammer out a few pivot tables and organize clients by expenditure at the same time, it might speed things up.
