Jun 9, 2023 at 16:45 comment added Kevin @Trilarion: Consensus decision making is hard. Ideally, they would talk it out. Realistically, they would try to reach some sort of compromise that leaves everyone a bit unhappy.
Jun 9, 2023 at 11:42 comment added NoDataDumpNoContribution "develop some sort of rubric or standard for evaluating GPT flags" But even then the result could still have been that it's not repairable and not acting on GPT flags is the best. In your model, who decides in case of a difference in opinion?
Jun 9, 2023 at 5:38 comment added Robby Cornelissen In the weeks after the suspensions started, I started seeing a couple of recurring patterns: 1) Users would still post ChatGPT content, but make efforts to carefully mark all the code correctly (which ChatGPT did not (yet?) do). 2) Users would post ChatGPT content, but make an effort to remove the telltale ChatGPT introduction/conclusion phrases (in most cases replacing them with their own, rife with spelling/capitalization/punctuation errors). 3) Users would post ChatGPT content but remove all prose and only post the (commented) code. (Verifiable by asking the same question to ChatGPT.)
Jun 8, 2023 at 17:49 comment added Makyen @This_is_NOT_a_forum Don't forget about the 30 minute answer rate limit for users. This forces them to wait, which means at least some are board staring at an already created answer. Might as well spend some of that forced-time making it harder to detect.
Jun 8, 2023 at 17:47 comment added Makyen Obfuscating AI generated text isn't driven by people posting on SE. It's driven by all the other places where submitting AI generated content as your own work is unacceptable (e.g. schools), which, in aggregate, are orders of magnitude larger than SE. For those, tools have been and continue to be created which perform various obfuscations for people automatically. Obviously, it's not all users who obfuscate, but the tools exist and usage of them is increasing. So, it is that such things do have coordination outside of SE, it's just that the coordination isn't, necessarily, SE specific.
Jun 8, 2023 at 17:46 comment added This_is_NOT_a_forum Re "who doesn't want their GPT answer deleted": Yes, but fortunately the whole point is to do as little work as possible. They have the minimum-effort attitude and the minimum amount of work is the top priority. There is a reason old-school plagiarism was replaced by ChatGPT. Only a tool (that automated the process) could make it widespread, I think.
