Nobody should be using GPT detectors for anything important.
This is from a recent study that found that GPT detectors were misclassifying writing by non-native English speakers as AI-generated 48-76% of the time (!!!), compared to 0%-12% for native speakers.
ALTIt is irresponsible to use AI-generated text detectors as evidence of academic misconduct, and that's putting it mildly.
The sorts of mistakes ai writing make that humans don’t are easily detectable by humans. Inconsistent names and details. Non-existent sources. Instructions that are actually nonsense (if you ask ai for a baking recipe it will not give you something that will bake well). None of these are detectable by automation (as the automation is just as stupid as the ai that wrote the article). So instead, they rely on unusual word and phrase choices, which AI does, but people who don’t speak English well also do. But even a 12 percent false positive rate is huge when an accusation can ruin your chance at a college career.
The interesting thing about this study is that if someone is an esl student and gets punished for ai, and the college uses one of these systems, they can use this study to sue for discrimination. The lawsuit is more likely to be successful if the student wasn’t using AI, but it still would be bad PR and a court case even if the school was right.
So, what should teachers do about AI? There’s different levels of AI usage in college papers, but the one that’s generally considered cheating is letting it write papers wholesale. Which is really easy to both detect and prove. Mostly because ChatGPT will just make up sources. Even if you can’t prove that the student used AI, a fake source is academic misconduct. And AI making up shit is not going to be fixed anytime soon. Because AI is a statistical language model. It doesn’t know anything beyond which word is more likely to come after a set of words.
Every day I get closer and closer to no longer identifying as trans, and simply being a genderless intersex person. Because the average trans perisex person is just as fucking intersexist as the average cis perisex person, and I'm so fucking tired of it.
Y'all try to split hairs and decide which experiences are "trans man experiences" and which experiences are "trans women experiences," and you try to cram nonbinary people into "transmasc or transfemme," and you insist on splitting trans people into categories based on their birth assignment, and you fucking wonder why you're not making headway in any actual gender liberation.
Assholes.
Throwback to the time I posted on Facebook about how scared I was about the rise in transphobia because someone in my neighborhood had just screamed "TRANNY!" at me from a car window, and a (now very much ex) friend decided to lecture me about how I wasn't as high-risk as some hypothetical trans woman and me talking about being scared was akin to cultural appropriation.
This. This is why we can't make any fucking progress. Y'all are more interested in discourse over who's allowed to identify as what or reclaim what slurs, and meanwhile, the average person is still going to call all of us trannies from the car window. And then probably shoot us and claim it was self-defense.
It's less that my friends are awful and more that there is systemic bigotry that has eaten into trans spaces, and is something that intersex people talk about on a regular basis, only to get ignored and talked over by literally everyone else.
Intersex issues aren't some niche discourse topic, they're part of a much bigger conversation that people keep willfully ignoring.
Your response is incredibly rude. You could have just kept scrolling if this post isn't relevant to you.
Intersex people are systemically erased and that erasure is upheld and enforced by every corner of the queer community.
It is suffocating and maddening and isolating beyond description. And I know a good amount of people who are putting in effort to learn about us and support us and stand with us in unity against fascism, but so many folks aren't and don't care. I've been told that I'm centering cis issues by talking about intersexism. I've been told I'm appropriating trans struggles by existing in my intersex body without altering it.
So many won't put any effort into unlearning the false sex binary and will repeat intersexist bullshit. So many will see descriptions of what is clearly intersexism, label it transphobia and act like we don't exist. So many won't learn how their own bodies will never align with any binary sex because humans inherently are a mixed bag of characteristics.
It's instant feverish anxious horrible insanity when I go from being called slurs and seeing graphic violence described against me and pissing outside rather than choosing a bathroom for my safety and then coming online and being entirely ignored and rejected by the trans community. It's indescribable how mentally unwell it makes me feel if I think about it too much. Intersex people have been so thoroughly erased that our own kin don't recognize us as anything other than a myth or a passing statistic to throw out during an argument.
I love trans folks. I wouldn't be here without trans folks supporting me and loving me. But God, a lot of y'all really don't see intersex people. People can't understand me outside the cis/trans binary and now there's microbinaries happening within those identities that inherently erase intersex people further. People can't understand that sex is just as diverse and fluid as gender and that there aren't any body traits that are inherent to any one sex. It's maddening.
Heyyy also shoutout to other autistic people with funky grammar/syntax.
People who integrate whatever slang they find useful/interesting/whatever into their language even if it “doesn’t fit them” (like I read a lot of British lit growing up so I sometimes use UK wording even though I’m not British), people who flip around the order of words so it still makes sense but is just “out of order”, people who repeat bits of phrases from the first part of their sentences without realizing (“Though I don’t think you’d like that dress though”), people who incorporate wording from different time periods, people who adopt accents really easily, whatever, y’all are cool ily
For my Americans out there, here is a map with the safest states for trans folk. These are the states that have the most laws in place to specifically protect trans people.
Maryland is currently the safest, here is an article about it.
