A Human's Guide To Detecting AI Generated Content

AI tools and the existential crisis

❝Artificial Intelligence is no match for my natural stupidity❞
- Bizwaremagic Quotes

If you believe that AI in itself is the real monster... you need to be an alien. No, seriously!

Let me get this straight for once and for all - AI is a tool, a machine or whatever you like to call it but it is simply that, a tool. Or a double edged sword, if you will ;)

If you call it a pain, it's going to act like one. Okay no, that didn't sound good either... if you'll excuse me—

It's like saying Alan Turing should have just kept quiet and never asked the question of "Can machines think?" which is the exact reason we're in the midst of this conversation.

We are in the midst of revolution - Can you believe that? No? Let me convince you with this work then.

Here are some of the popular AI tools used for writing/can be used for writing (again, take these with a grain of salt - not in the ritualistic sense, just don't believe everything it can say, okay?)

• ChatGPT

This is one of the first popularly known public tools that took off to 100 million users in less than a year!

Is it as good at writing as people claim?

Well, no, sadly. I'm sorry to hurt your dreams, kid.

If you wanted your work to be easily detected under the human and AI radar alike, this would be your go to because — IT IS THAT BAD AT CREATIVES!

Honestly, no complaints about its claims that it can be efficient... but it isn't your best tool, even in mathematical calculations (hence the reason why every other AI is competing against it as the benchmark), right?

The Open AI team did a wonderful job at figuring out a way to both monetize their business and get easy access to data (where do you think all your good written human writing and queries go, huh?) while making people play the convenience card.

They're absolute riots, let's give it to them!

• Gemini (previously known as Bard. It was quite fun then, PETITION TO BRING IT BACK, PLEASE)

If there's one AI that scares me in terms of its near neat writing, it is Gemini.

AI is bad with artistic prose and that's the case with every other AI model but when it comes to naturalistic writing, Gemini does a good job of "replicating" close to your writing style. It's like the chameleon of the AI world!

Is it good at writing?

Well, technically... it's good at replicating your style (except the over the top flowy proses or the heavily censored material) so, if you made enough tweaks, you could pass it for a human to the naked eye. And that accounts for some effort but seriously, don't rely too much on it!

I recently had to write reviews for the judging/reviewing I am doing and I made it clear enough that I am going to use AI (which is Gemini) with it due to my lack of time and the need to solve the matters at hand. But even as I am transparent about it, I made sure to put enough effort into reading the works, took efforts into writing my own personal notes and which is why, along with the reviews and personal feedback, the overall process feels genuine (transparency is the key)!

So, I'd say... it's good for writing, but please put some genuine effort into writing your work (even if that's a boring review - just put it into the toaster and add some roast to it)

• SudoWrite

This is a writer's ultimate dream come true and this is one of the best I have come to, for relying on my description that actually helps!
