- People will still be asking if things are AI decades from now, because people will still be using AI for deception and fraud.
Tiktok has things like fake generated cooking videos now. After someone tries one, and it doesn't actually work, they're going to want to know if other videos are real before trying again.
by nitwit005 - If someone has to ask, "Is this AI?" before they can tell the difference, then at least part of their reaction is about the label rather than the content itself. If they genuinely can't tell the difference, then whether it was created by a human or by AI makes little practical difference in terms of the content.by CGP_Labs
- If you can't tell the difference between deception and truth, does it matter whether I lied? You only focus on the labels true/false, rather then the content of what I tell you!by 1718627440
- I think it matters because AI can hallucinate so it makes me doubt the truthfulness
It's also somewhat dishonest to present unedited AI-written content as your own work
by circuit10 - I think it matters because for a lot of us writing and thinking happen at the same time.
Something that's been written "well" shows that someone has thought about it, maybe reframed it some way or just done something by thinking about it for a while.
AI can think, but whether it's thought about something or not it's always going to sound the same.
If you are using it to help you think fine but I think it's about effort and I would want to know how much effort you've put in.
by Pearse - Almost everything will be "AI", because it's also coming to our keyboards (first step will be the virtual keyboard of Android/iOS...) where it will in practice rewrite every message we send automatically and then every standardized form in browsers and OS will have it as well, it's already starting.
