As someone doing teaching, I already had quite enough of "If you have any further questions - just let me now! π" in answer boxes.

Easy F for AI and move on to the next one
Remember the time every answer started with "As a large language model..."
When it was new, I got a lot of "Certainly! ..."
Like, come on, mate. You didn't even read the first sentence before submitting.
Sounds like a challenge
Fuck polymarket though, the metastasis of late stage capitalism.
I'm gonna bet everything I own that Viking_Hippie plays a video game within the next 24 hours. Any takers?
Do you want to get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours? Because that's how you get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours.
what's the market on viking_hippie getting kidnapped and getting handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours because let me know when that one starts to go up
My brain runs DOOM, or so I'm told.
It's a form of psychosis.
they think it predicts the future, and so must be completely unregulated.
They created an Oracle made of gold.
i haven't seen those guys much but based on the little i've seen, i think they believe whatever makes the most amount of money
Just wait till they let advertisers buy hidden bias in its responses
That was always my assumption of the end game. You have the system prompts, an advertising bias prompt layer over top, then the user prompts.
"Naturally worded" advertising that doesn't immediately appear to be advertising and searching using natural language always seemed to be the biggest use cases for LLMs to me, considering they can't be relied on to output accurate info.
Exactly. Like big pharma paying ChatGPT to convince you that your symptoms are an illness they have pills for. It'd turn the LLMs from librarians into salesmen playing librarians lol.
Yes, Iβve been saying this for over a year now about AI-driven search. And not just specifically search engines. Like βwhereβs the nearest coffee shop?β To your phones assistant or whatever
I currently tend toward perplexity because traditional search engines are so terrible now thanks to ads and seo. Weβre speedrunning llms being just as useless at finding things
If it won't be illegal, and under the current US regime it sure as hell won't be illegal, it will come, it is just a matter of time. It will be interesting though if they'll still do it even where it likely will be illegal, like in the EU.
I can see it leading to the rise of locally run LLMs. The pr9blem with intentional hidden bias is that you have no way of verifying it isn't there unless you control everything. That would also make it hard for regulators.
If experience thought me, no people will not give a damn.
Imo there will be certain businesses which will
That's... exactly how they implement advertising in an LLM?
It's already pretty biased. For web projects it almost always recommends Supabase and Vercel.
I mean when they do introduce intentional bias, we'll have no way of proving it for certain
Why is Polymaket breaking news?
market manipulation
is polymarket reporting news here or are they reporting the results of a ~~bet~~ event contract?
Have they rolled out the ads yet ? I feel like they keep teasing it but I might have missed the roll out and the backlash (there is no way there would not be SOME backlash)
LLM output is one of the few places Iβd be OK with seeing ads. Iβd almost go so far as advocating for it to be mandated, because it would help make slop easier to identify and filter out.
The real issue is that since any fingerprint that can be mandated for AI content must be algorithmically implemented, then that fingerprint can be algorithmically removed.
For example, let's say companies voluntarily choose or are forced to integrate text fingerprinting into LLM output. Automated AI writing detection tools already exist, but they're not reliable. But in principle we could make the output of LLMs easy to identify. Maybe we force them to adopt subtle but highly unique patterns of word choice, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. Then if any student attempted to upload an LLM-generated essay to their course website, the system could with high accuracy flag it as AI generated.
But...if those patterns are so clear and unambiguous, it also means they can be easily detected by third party tools. If one person can code ChatGPT to add special fingerprinting to the text ChatGPT creates, another person can create a program that you can paste ChatGPT text into that will remove that fingerprinting.
they stealing from youtubers again.
Tbf, a student including relevant info they leaned from world of tanks wouldn't be a bad thing.
Then there's the student who plays wanthunder and leaks a classified F-47 detailed blueprint onto the paper.
that deserves extra credit
