I think they could also get away with "gImp"

Or even, take after GIF and pronounce it with a "J" sound, like "JIMP"

Similar to the name 'Herb' vs the vegetative 'herb'. A Herb vs an herb.

Where are you? In the US, women have had full voting rights for over 100 years.

I came to C from Assembly, so maybe I'm in a different camp, but references seem to me to be more difficult to reason about than pointers. Pointers just are, like math; references seem like a bunch of semi-arbitrary conventions.

Like the difference between writing SQL and using an ORM, which is supposed to be simpler but ends up being messier.

You mean, it sounds exactly like the file format...

Now make a law that makes construction cheaper. Or make a law that makes construction more expensive. What happens to rent and mortgages, even though productivity hasn't changed at all?

Productivity (or, rather, wealth) of the occupants is a very strong factor, but it is still just one of multiple factors.

I suspect they'll roll out the watermark everywhere.

But procedurally, there are huge issues involved with automated tools used to harm other people. You are one of the 0.5% percent of people whose article was flagged as LLM-generated when it wasn't, one of the false positives. What do you do? Argue? The accusers will claim that you're 99.5% likely to be lying.

It's the same issue we have with automated customer service, automated insurance claims, and so forth. It is usually correct, and terrifically unjust when it fails... at which point there is no recourse. In a perverse sense, its accuracy can be a drawback, because if the false positive rate low enough, nobody is going to believe you when you're falsely accused. And people will be falsely accused.

I think it's ironic that it seems like it capitalizes on the same flaw that most LLM-posting does... "Chat GPT is usually right, I'm going with it." You shouldn't post an LLM article without independently validating its claims, so that there is a responsible person in the loop. The same is true for rejections and accusations, but more so, because they're more damaging.

I'm moving on to evaluating articles with a modified lie detector test and tarot cards, I'm sure that'll help my credibility and give my public rejections more authority.

I think what people want is to tell a story that's in their imagination, and no current AI is up to that task (at least in video format). Great for making an animated PNG for a meme, but not for adapting that fanfic you are writing.

We need to make lawyering more like programming, in the sense that it should be open to the everyman... not make programming credentialed and licensed like a professional guild.
