If only the biggest problem was messages starting “I asked ChatGPT and this is what it said:”
A far bigger problem is people using AI to draft text and then posting it as their own. On social media like this, I can’t count the number of comments I’ve encountered midway through an otherwise normal discussion thread, and only clocked 2 paragraphs in that I’m reading a chat bot’s response. I feel like I’ve had time and braincells stolen from me in the deception for the moments spent reading and attempting to derive meaning from it.
And just this week I received an application from someone wanting work in my office which was very clearly AI generated. Obviously that person will not be offered any work. If you can’t be bothered to write your own “why I want to work here” cover letter, then I can’t be bothered to work with you.
Have seen emails at work that were AI generated, but they made no disclaimer. Then someone points out how wildly incorrect it was and they just say “oh whoops, not my fault, I just ask ed an LLM”. They set things up to take credit if people liked it, and used the LLMs are just stupid as an excuse when it doesn’t fly.
