    Regardless of if they do or don’t, surely it’s in the interests of the people making the “AI” to claim that their tool is so good it’s indistinguishable from humans?

      Depends if they’re more researchers or a business imo. Scientists generally speaking are very cautious about making shit claims bc if they get called out that’s their career really.

        OpenAI hasn’t been focused on the science since the Microsoft investment. A science focused company doesn’t release a technical report that doesn’t contain any of the specs of the model they’re reporting on.

        Few decades ago probably, nowadays “scientists” make a lot of bs claims to get published. I was in the room when a “scientist” publishing several nature per year asked to her student to write a paper for a research without any result in a way that it looked like it had something important for a relatively good IF publication.

        That day I decided I was done with academia. I had seen enough.

      Yes, but it’s such a falsifiable claim that anyone is more than welcome to prove them wrong. There’s a lot of slightly different LLMs out there. If you or anyone else can definitively show there’s a machine that can identify AI writing vs human writing, it will either result in better AI writing or it would be an amazing breakthrough in understanding the limits of AI.
