<p>There are two problems, false positives and changing the LLM's pattern.<p>It's really easy to have a false positive and false positives can be very harmful if the person using the detector isn't aware of that risk.<p>It's also very easy to change the pattern of LLM output. You can provide basic prompting that will significantly change the structure of the output. For example, having it utilize the Wikipedia article on signs of AI writing and avoid everything it describes. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing</a></p>

<p>It works well until it doesn't. I've been a Spotify user for at least 15 years (wild to say that). I've discovered a ton of bands I've become a long term fan of.<p>But also their algorithmic playlists have gotten worse and worse. They overfit user data. They all recommend the same singles over and over and over. I've found they also don't make sense, recommending music that doesn't even belong in the playlist.<p>I've switched to user created playlists more often than the algo ones, although a lot of user playlists are just saved copies of Spotify generated recommendations.</p>

<p>Besides a mix of older Pixels and other phones, in the past few years I went OnePlus 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and currently OnePlus 13. I was completely underwhelmed by the 8 Pro. If felt like a marginal improvement over the OnePlus 8 for a premium price. The back cracked, water got in, and it stopped working. The OnePlus 13 feels like a significantly better phone in every way.</p>

<p>I just got a new phone a month ago. I wanted a Pixel so I could run GrapheneOS. After researching the hardware I ended up with a OnePlus 13. Google's hardware is far behind, buggy, and overpriced.</p>

<p>> It’s possible this kind of behavior is endorsed throughout, or it’s possible it’s limited to this specific group.<p>As others have pointed out elsewhere this is literally the type of behavior OpenAI is founded on. Gathering up other people's IP and using it to build their own thing. It's how all the big LLMs are built.</p>

<p>OP said after 2008. There are many cars made after 2008 that do not have intrusive systems. For example, my 2018 Camaro has none of that. The only proximity sensors it has are side vehicle indicators and all they do is turn on a light.<p>New cars with intrusive driver monitoring alerts are obviously going to be terrible but you can still buy vehicles made prior to this change.</p>
