AI Lie Detectors: Breaking Down Trust or Building Better Bonds?

Distinguishing truth from deception has been a persistent problem throughout human history. From ancient methods like trial by ordeal to the modern polygraph test, society has always sought reliable ways to expose dishonesty. In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, accurate lie detection is more important than ever. It can prevent fraud, enhance security, and build trust in various sectors, including law enforcement, corporate environments, and personal relationships.

The pursuit of truth now benefits from Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI-powered lie detection systems analyze data using machine learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), facial recognition, and voice stress analysis. They can identify deception patterns more accurately than traditional methods. However, introducing AI raises trust-related questions: Can we depend on machines for accurate lie detection, and how do we balance this technology with human intuition? Understanding these implications is essential as AI continues to shape our world.

Understanding AI Lie Detectors

AI lie detectors use advanced technologies to identify deception by analyzing multiple data points. These systems employ machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), facial recognition, and voice stress analysis. For instance, researchers at the University of Maryland developed a model to spot deceit in courtroom testimonies.

Other projects utilized NLP to analyze speech and text for inconsistencies. Additionally, facial recognition software based on Dr. Paul Ekman’s work examines micro-expressions to detect deception, adding another layer of accuracy. Tools like Nemesysco’s Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) assess voice stress levels and are used by law enforcement worldwide. These combined technologies offer a comprehensive approach to lie detection by analyzing verbal and non-verbal signals.

The move from traditional polygraphs to AI-based systems represents a significant evolution. Polygraphs, which measure physiological responses, are often criticized for inaccuracy. AI lie detectors offer a more comprehensive and data-driven approach, reflecting a shift towards reliable, scientific methods in law enforcement and security.

AI lie detectors are now used in various fields. Law enforcement agencies assess suspect statements, and UK police analyze body camera footage for deception. Companies like HireVue use AI to verify honesty during interviews. Border security agencies in the EU screen travellers, and online platforms like Facebook and X, formerly known as Twitter, detect fraudulent activities and misinformation.

The Science Behind AI Lie Detectors

The effectiveness of AI lie detectors relies heavily on the robustness of their underlying technologies and algorithms. One recent notable study demonstrated an AI tool’s superior performance in spotting lies compared to humans. This tool, trained using Google’s AI language model BERT, achieved a 67% accuracy rate in correctly identifying true or false statements. These AI models are trained on diverse datasets, encompassing various languages, cultures, and contexts to minimize biases and improve generalizability. Though as a tool to be widely adopted, this accuracy is low. Continuous learning allows these systems to adapt and refine their accuracy over time.

Researchers are continually enhancing AI lie detectors by integrating more advanced machine learning techniques and expanding training datasets. Studies have shown improvements in detecting micro-expressions and better handling contextual nuances in language. For example, researchers at MIT have developed algorithms that can detect subtle changes in a person’s voice, indicating stress or deception.

Benefits of AI Lie Detectors

AI lie detectors offer several advantages over traditional methods:

AI systems provide a more nuanced analysis by incorporating multiple data sources and advanced algorithms capable of detecting lies with reasonably high accuracy.

These systems are effective in several security settings and across financial institutions. For example, AI lie detectors enhance passenger screening and monitor fraudulent transactions in US airports and financial institutions like HSBC.

In corporate environments, AI lie detectors streamline hiring processes by verifying candidate statements, saving time and ensuring higher recruitment integrity. Companies like Unilever use AI tools for efficient and accurate candidate assessments.

In addition, AI lie detectors can enhance trust in sensitive negotiations, high-stakes communications, and legal proceedings by providing additional assurance and verifying witness statements, increasing reliability and fostering trust.

User Adoption and Skepticism

Despite the potential benefits, user adoption of AI lie detectors is mixed. Studies show that only one-third chose to do so when participants were allowed to use AI lie detection tools, reflecting widespread skepticism. Moreover, during trials of AI lie detection at EU border controls, many travelers expressed discomfort and mistrust, fearing wrongful accusations. This mixed response highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing technological advancement with human concerns about privacy, accuracy, and the role of AI in critical decision-making processes.

Interestingly, those who opt to use AI lie detectors tend to place significant trust in the AI’s predictions. This dichotomy highlights the complex relationship between humans and technology, where trust acts as a barrier and a driver of adoption. In the study at Stanford University, researchers explored multimodal machine learning for deception detection. Some works reported impressive performance, achieving up to 100% accuracy in distinguishing truthful statements from deceptive ones. However, methodological issues raised concerns about result reliability. While polygraph tests remain unreliable, AI deception detection systems show promise. Therefore, balancing technological advancements with ethical considerations remains an ongoing challenge.

Ethical and Social Implications

AI lie detectors raise significant ethical and social implications regarding privacy and consent. The extensive data collection required for these systems prompts concerns about misuse and the moral impact of constant surveillance, as seen in Amazon’s warehouse operations.

False positives are another risk; incorrect accusations can have severe legal and personal consequences. A UK citizen who was falsely accused of shoplifting due to facial recognition errors highlights this danger.

While AI lie detectors offer enhanced accuracy, they should complement, not replace, human judgment. Combining AI insights with human intuition ensures the most reliable outcomes, as seen in criminal investigations where AI supports detectives’ decisions. The growing prevalence of AI lie detectors necessitates clear regulations because current laws often need to be revised.

The Bottom Line

AI lie detectors present a promising advancement in detecting deception. They offer enhanced accuracy and diverse security, hiring, and fact-checking applications. However, their adoption is tempered by ethical concerns, privacy issues, and potential misuse.

Balancing AI’s capabilities with human judgment is essential to realize its benefits responsibly. As AI continues to evolve, clear regulations and a cautious approach are critical to ensuring these tools build better bonds of trust rather than breaking them down, promoting a future where technology and human intuition work hand in hand.

[weenwrites]

hey, same person who requested Medium/Psychic Reader. I've noticed you wrote only for 2 characters but is it okay if u do the same for Optimus and Ratchet please?

[ Please do not repost, plagiarize, or use my writing for AI! Translating my work with proper credit is acceptable, but please ask first! ]

Optimus

The rides back to base from the church are always haunted by this eerie and tense silence, and it's impossible to miss the stark difference in their demeanor before and after the church congregation. He's unsure whether it's normal for humans to seem exhausted and on edge after attending a religious congregation, and though he momentarily considers this may be part of their religious culture, he's far too concerned to simply leave it be.

He asks the question up front and directly, it's clear he's not beating around the bush, and he wants an answer because he's concerned for their welbeing not only as their guardian but as a friend. If they choose to lie to him, it'll be hard persuading him to leave it at that unless they're a very--and I mean very--good liar. He is by no means a lie detector, but he's good at picking up on the signs and interpreting them.

If they're honest with him, he believes them rather quickly, given the general belief of the existence of an afterlife in cybertronian culture. However he finds it fascinating, given how it's not exactly clear that humans have a "spark" or a "soul" that would be reborn, and yet some persist after death and take the form of a ghost with the potential to grow malevolent and harmful towards the living.

When he goes to pick them up, he'll offer to escort them back home early and so they can rest and relax from whatever it was they had to do that day. However, if they don't wish to be alone in that moment, he'll bring them back to base and they can sit near the rails as he works, or they can join him on a brief patrol around the area.

Ratchet

He's not one to poke and prod at business that doesn't concern him, no matter the rumors he hears about it, yet the only exception is when said business ends up hurting others. In this case it has to do with his charge. He's heard the kids gossip about the local church in town, and they talk about ghosts and the paranormal, and of course he doesn't believe in such things... Or so he thinks.

His eyes are sharper than they'd expect, and he tends to notice a lot of things that they think they're hiding well as he drives them back to base. He doesn't miss the haunted look on their face, or the tense periods of silence after attending the "assembly" at church, or the way they jump at the creaking of the metal pipes that run along the walls once they're back inside.

And one day he'll ask how "church" went after picking them up. If they're clearly reluctant to talk, he'll push, insisting that it's obvious that they don't look well after whatever they had just done, and as their guardian, he needs to know what's happened because he's concerned that it's causing them some sort of harm.

But if they're honest, he'll hesitate to respond. He's skeptical that ghosts and spirits exist, seeing as humans don't seem to have any sparks that persist after their bodies die, but if humans are the spawn of Unicron, then perhaps this is a result of that? If this is genuinely what is causing them all this stress then he'll take it at that. From then on, every time they finish "church", he'll offer to take them for a drive around the town to get their mind off all the stress they no doubt endured during the exorcism or whatever else it was they had to do that day.

[carnivore-voyeur]

If someone uses "AI detectors" for text as concrete evidence, I won't take them seriously and you shouldn't either.

On multiple occasions now, individuals in this fandom have said they "ran [insert individual]'s words through an AI detector and found it to be likely AI generated" whenever there is a controversy about what the individual said or did and it's very frustrating to me as that is not a reliable tool nor is it helpful.

e.g. Fans claimed the text on Per Eriksson's website was AI generated because they didn't like what he said in a livestream.

e.g. Fans claimed the text on Jutty Taylor's apology was AI generated because they didn't like the way he addressed serious allegations against him.

I've read books on AI. I have a background in linguistics. I have a basic understanding of Natural Language Processing (NLP). By no means am I an expert on AI, but AI detection tools are also... AI.

They do not accurately or reliably detect AI, especially when it comes to ordinary human written interactions.

Sure, anyone can type a prompt into a machine like Chat GPT and get an AI generated response. How does it do that? AI learns by "reading" human text. A lot of it. AI doesn't read or process language like we do, though.

You can feed it a huge corpus (bodies of text) and it will identify things such as which words are most likely to occur together, and then make predictions based on that. AI has a tendency towards brevity. It also struggles with cohesion and coherence. It also isn't likely to produce very personalized responses.

Human language is formulaic, and thus if you put a human written piece such as an apology that usually comes with formulaic phrasing and vocabulary into an AI detector, there's a 50/50 shot that it's going to say likely AI generated or likely human generated because AI learns those formulas to produce writing.

"AI detectors" aren't reliable, just like lie detectors aren't reliable. It is snake oil. You can do your own research to find that out. I'm not saying this to be defensive. This is just part of a larger problem in re: to media literacy - people accepting something as fact or evidence because a special tool told you so.

You can't just say that's definitively AI whenever you disagree with someone or something, especially using a tool that's fallible.

[gaslightgatekeepgirlbosscombat]

Group A, Round 1, Poll 4:

Propaganda under the cut

Azula

Personal gain and because she was gaslit herself.

100% pure girlboss. So good at lying and manipulating that the magic human lie detector can’t figure her out. Gatekeeps her father’s “love” from her brother

Azula was considered a prodigy in firebending at a young age. And she manipulates and plots to get what she wants.

They (gas)lit stuff on fire, gatekeeped the avatar from the Fire Nation, and girlbossed all the way into insanity

Akane Kurashiki

Zero Escape spoilers! Akane Kurashiki is dead. Died in an incinerator as a child. But she's right here, isn't she? She's talking about mummies and the Titanic and I'm holding her in my arms. But also she's Zero, mastermind who trapped us here and threatened our lives. That guy literally just exploded. But Akane couldn't have done that, she's so sweet and she's so scared. Also she's dead? But wait, she's right here, and she has a fever again.

lied to a group of ppl including her childhood bestie so they'd enter a death game she planned, she's so funny. also later planned another death game to save the earth etc

GASLIGHT: - Lies to everyone and pretends to just be an innocent quirky girl when in reality, she is the mastermind behind the situation everyone has been put in. - Pretends to be sad and concerned when the bastard who almost killed her pretends to do a heroic sacrifice to get everyone's sympathy. - Pretends she's put bombs inside everyone's stomachs. Really, she only put bombs inside the people she wants revenge on. - Pretends that she and her brother aren't related. - Erases her fiancé's memories and makes him forget he proposed to her so she can go to the moon and stop the outbreak of an apocalyptic virus without him getting in the way. - Puts herself into a schrodinger's cat situation where she's both living and dead until you decide what door to walk through. - Manipulates her way into a Mars mission program. - Makes a guy think he is 45 years younger than he actually is. - Pretends she is going to stab two people to force them back in time. - Manipulates a child into participating in his father's research so he can act as a spare if necessary. GATEKEEP: - A psychic who gains near omniscience in some circumstances, but refuses to explain snything unless it suits her plans. - Says ""Only God decides who lives and dies!"" But she kills several people. Perhaps only God and Akane Kurahiki decide who lives and dies. Or maybe they're the same person? - Manipulates a woman into breaking up with a man so she can kidnap him and bring him to the moon. - Refuses to let her boyfriend meet her when it doesn't suit her plans. - Kidnaps two women and puts them into a coma for 45 years. GIRLBOSS: - Very willing to kill to achieve her goals or get revenge. - Queen of random trivia. Will info dump about her interests whenever it suits her (including when she is trapped in a freezer with two people). - If anyone touches a hair on her boyfriend's head she will not hesitate to cut them down with a chainsaw. - Stages not one but two mass kidnappings and killing games (that we know of). - Great at multitasking, she manged to save her own life and dispose of the people who almost killed her at the same time. - Uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate the stock market and become super rich. If that doesn't scream girlboss I don't know what does. - Starts her own organisation to fight cult leaders and save the world. - Has two nemeses, the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, whose life she completely destroys and a >100 year old cult leader. - Co-runs a moonbase where she has command of AIs and robots.

Catch My Lies

Summary: Honesty is the best policy, but the truth hurts, it’s why white lies exist. It’s all about what you believe, so what’s it going to be? Lie through the teeth or speak from the heart? There are no wrong answers, both can and do exist.

Aka the powers verse I first wrote back in 2021 for CoAi week. In which Ai tells lies convincingly, and Conan is a living truth detector. Any guesses as to who wins when they collide?

Dedicated to @kalopsiarts for the encouragement to finally write this fic <3

1. Truth: He Is Intrigued

[mrdairyy]

Which brings me to the most popular theory that ruin is still infected. There is so much evidence that this is true like in the video “Eclipse has a new identity?!?! In VrChat” ruin sings the song “you’ll be back” from Hamilton. I listened to the song multiple times and yes I doubt the show would put this much effort into it but the whole song, the lyrics, they all seem like something that infected ruin would say and do. (It’s also only that one song from Hamilton that ruin sings). Another time that he does this is in the video “Moon fixed the portal in VrChat” ruin starts out singing the daycare theme then he abruptly changes to sing you’ll be back. And of course the infamous handshake with earth. Just in case you don’t know during the video “using a lie detector on ruin eclipse in VrChat” ruin shakes both of moon’s hands this caused the virus to spread to the usb finger that moon had, this resulted in the death of both the old computer AI’s. In the video “Earth learns solar’s purpose in VrChat” ruin shakes earth’s hand

[grigori77]

Critical Role, Campaign 3 Episode 79

Erina? Yeah ... what came? What fresh hell ... a paternity test? Apparently Matt is Sam's father ... oh boy ... Matt trying to stress that he's YOUNGER than Sam ... XD ... Sam: "Papa ... did I make you proud?" Wow ...

They cut Ashley off before she could finish her plug and it made her choke on her own spit.

"Beauregard's Interrogation Brew" ... XD

Ah yes ... the team building exercises ... how's THIS gonna go?

To long rest or not long rest ... that is the question ...

Chetney wondering if Nana Morrie grants wishes ... no, more like DEALS ... oh yes, the classic Faustian Pact ...

The bush people in the tree garden? Oh boy ... FCG: "So you're trimming people?" Eeeeeeeeeh ... O.O

Oh yeah ... Peepers ... that thing ... "weird xenomorph rabbit" is pretty accurate in my mind ...

So ... Chetney wants to be YOUNG again ... just to be "hot as shit", apparently ... cultivated and curated chest hair and a serious moustache ... yeah ...

I love how they're ragging on Liam being away by making funny jobs at Orym spending all yesterday working out ...

Fearne's complicated upbringing ... hmmm ... wait ... is that a PHONE? Matt immediately makes Travis take psychic damage got his character as punishment ... LOL

Nana wants to "plot" with FCG ... and being very creepy about it ... yeah ...

Oh, new rooms? Made to measure but in a creepy way ... Travis: "Like AI generated bedrooms?" Oh yes ... Matt takes thr idea and runs with it to disturbing effect ...

Door? Fearne has a sentient talking door for her room ... of course she does ...

Catching up with Birdie ... oh, and now she's fishing for "The Truth" ... hmmmmmm ... where's THIS going?

29 on an Insight check? Whoa ... wait, FEARNE is thr group's lie detector? I mean it makes sense, but ...

Mr Nesbitt!!! Yay! Nice to see a familiar face ... I love that freaky thing so much ...

Ah, the garden ... yeah ... creepy weirdness abounds as usual ... no doubt this will be put to use for the games ...

Here we go ... truth time ... aha! Backstory! Okay ...

Hold on, was that dude Fearne's daddy?

Fuck ... he was ... oh boy ... and it was a union of "great import" ... yup, so Ollie wasn't her father, but he WAS her daddy ... yup ... who? Athion Zathuda ... the Sorrowlord of the Unseelie Court? Man ... that freaky Arch Fey guy is Fearne's baby daddy! Holy shit!

Yeah ... that is A LOT ... I mean A LOT ...

Well yes, this was probably the best way Fearne could have grown up under the circumstances ... is she actually one of the most well adjusted of the group after all? Weird thought, but I like it ...

Awwww ... reconciliation of sorts, that's sweet and we'll take what we can get ...

Oh, Ashton and Orym having a private heart-to-heart? This should be interesting. Even if Ashton does think Orym's just taking him off to quietly kill him ... XD

Ah ... meta humour ...

Wow, so ... Orym's really going EASY on him here, clearly ... Orym: "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." WOW ... that is AWESOME advice ...

We really don't get enough of THIS friendship ... I really like this dynamic a lot ...

Is Allura about to get a bit loose jn a drink-based way? Is that where this is going?

I agree with Chetney, that was indeed a "dope flex" ...

Whoa ... are we gonna get some Allura backstory? Awwwww ... her "little lion" ... love the little nod to Kima ... :3

Imogen takes off the Circlet? Wow ...

Of course Chetney's thinking about sex. What did we expect?

Fearne has an announcement? Okay ...

Nana has DONE SOMETHING with FCG's memories in order to plot this thing out? Oh boy ... this is a worrying implication for what's to come ...

And that was SCARY, Nana ... plus the talking together, what the bright blue FUCK was that? O.O

Here we go, Fearne spills the beans ... so Fearne is actually royalty ... Laudna: "Wait, THAT was your takeaway?" Meanwhile this is an additional connection to Otohan and co ...

Imogen: "What if we're stepsisters?" Fearne: "Oooh, exciting!" Orym: "We may have to KILL THEM."

Sammanar? Hmmmm ... yeah, we're definitely off on a weird tangent ...

Oh, so Nana knows all about the Sorrowlord ... znd apparently HE knows about Fearne ... great ...

Sammanar is another one of the five Arch Fey lords ... and "a bit of a prick" ...

Dusk Hunger, the Blade of the Black Flame ... wow ...

So they're showing Nana the Shard, eh? Okay then ... oh, so it "smells like" Fearne? Interesting ... wait ... is Fearne a remnant like Ashton then?

And now they're showing her the Harness too ... Nana: "Hungry goes the Bastards of Time." Okay ...

"A bit of the Old World"? Hmmmm ...

Fearne is still wary about taking in the Shard and I don't blame her at all ...

Ooooh ... Fearne got SASSY with Allura there ... XD

Oh, so Allura's giving us a little info on the Moonweaver ...

Sam's flask is very on the nose this week and nearly derails the whole discussion ... XD

Allura has some lore on Nana? Intriguing ...

Taliesin invokes Disney witches for insight on a 21 and gets some Whispers ...

A fruity aroma? And s gathering of critters? Where's THIS going?

Magic items to be earned? Intriguing ...

Weird tea ... okay ... are they about to be drugged up to their eyeballs?

Which first, then? Honesty? Okay, then ...

Wait, where the fuck are they now? In the jungle? What the hell? A chasm? Yikes ...

A brass monocle? Hmmmm ... the first item ... the Monocle of True Essence? Oh, they have to find it? Okay then ...

The chasm only listens to honesty? Hmmm ...

Fuck, now they're falling into the pit ... and NOW Matt chooses to go to break? Ye gods ...

Falling into a stanky rooty pit, then ... oh, this is NASTY ... charming place, clearly ...

Are they alone? Get sniffing, Chet. 6 ... oof ... Nice going, wolf boy ...

Telling a truth makes step grow? Interesting ...

Meanwhile looking for the lens ...

Imogen is scared to meet her mum again. Hmmmm ...

LEECHES!!! LEECHES!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! SHIT!!!

Both Laudna AND Delilah want the Shard? Oof ... and while Imogen loves her, Delilah being able to watch them creeps her out ... ouch ...

Wow, look at that, there's like a whole city down here ...

Orym is very lonely ALL THE TIME? Boy ... and then FCG just lays down dom existential dread ...

Laudna climbs the steps onto the bridge. Oh, balance check ...

Orym wonders if Chetney's actually his dad ... whoa ... that is ... awkward ...

Ashton was the cause for the robbery going bad that caused his own accident and how he ended up the way he is ...

FCG casts Light ... they start searching with real purpose now ... cue perception and investigation checks ...

Fearne thinks they're ill equipped and they're going to fail on saving the world ...

Chetney fears being rendered obsolete in his field of toy making expertise ...

Orym and Imogen are climbing now too.

Whenever FCG kills something it calms hom znd helps him relax? Yeesh ...

Imogen doesn't know if she WANTS to save gods who don't love her ... meanwhile Laudna believes they could just quit from this whole path anytime ...

Orym spots a faint green glint ... he may have spotted it? Okay ... look into that ... he takes a chance and does a leap out into the open ... with Imogen's help he lands where he intended to ... okay then ...

Bingo! There's the monocle! Nice one, wee man!

So everybody's just trying to climb out now? Is that going to work?

Fearne likes to mess with them all a little when they sleep. Nothing bad, just little curiosities ... that's ... an awkward one ... but it does fit with her character ...

Well, they're getting there ...

Ashton worries that all of them are capable of killing at least one of the others ...

Orym has all the faith in the world in all of them, but is also pulling a Batman to find each one's weakness in case it's needed too ... yeah ...

FCG worries he relies too much on the Changebringer but that she might not actually be on their side after all ...

Weird buoyant balloon mushrooms? What the fuck? Holy shit, that actually works? Crap ...

Imogen is disappointed in Fearne for not taking the Shard, and Laudna agrees.

Orym misses Dorian ... how is that any kind of revelation?

Matt is regretting the mushrooms now as it completely derails the session into gales of laughter ...

Liam: "I love it when we pervert Matt's narrative! It's true!"

Pate is not capable of deep truths, apparently ...

Ashton hates that he fucked up Fearne's life and wishes he'd died instead ... oh man ...

Wow ... Chetney is just a whole MESS of neuroses, isn't he?

Eagle things? What the hell is THIS shit? Oh, these are just WEIRD ... but they're helping, at least ... so ... that was it, then? Hmmmm ...

Wait, that was FCG's idea? Kind of ... hmmmm ...

Yes. Check for leeches ...

Oh boy, the monocle has a card ... oh, that's sweet ... oh yeah, Orym should DEFINITELY have that with his crazy perception ...

I agree, Chetney should have a hug ...

What's next? Communication? Okay ...

And now they're underground ... some kind of low hanging cavern? Hmmmm ...

A thunder wasp hive? Seriously?

A beautiful purple scarf ... torn into three pieces ... wait, so now Ashton, Imogen and Chetney are LITERALLY BLIND?!!! What the fuck? And now they're just GONE ... now at the ends of each of the platforms ...

Matt makes Travis swap seats with Marisha ... znd freaks him out while he does it ...

This is a COMPLETELY UNIQUE game situation ... for fuck's sake this is gonna get SO BAD ...

Great. Now there are FUCKING WASPS out here too ...

Now FCG is being AGGRESSIVELY STUNG ...

This is a genuinely RIDICULOUS thing we're witnessing here right now ... seriously I am just sitting here watching this in stunned silence while it gets INSANELY stressful ... snd now Chetney's going into the bug swarm ...

And now Chetney's wolfed out ... but still blind ...

FCG is VERY BADLY STUNG right now ...

Laudna is now sending Pate to kill the wasps ... or not. Hmmmm ... apparently that isn't allowed ...

Oh my gods this is INSANE ...

And now Chetney's getting stung TO FUCK ... Matt is making Travis ROLL BLIND ... 18? Oh thank fuck ...

I can't ... I just can't at this point ... it's BEYOND DESCRIPTION right now ...

Thank fuck THAT is over ... Sam: "Travis Willingham, this is your lower intestine."

And now we have to do this AGAIN ... crap ...

Laura's looks SO MUCH WORSE than Travis' did ... crap ... but it's the Witches working together ... along with Chetney ...

Talk about a bizarre tabletop gaming version of a trustfall ...

It's a good thing Laura and Travis trust each other so much, clearly ... gods, this one is going SO MUCH more smoothly than the previous one ...

No, not now ... damn you, Matthew! No wasps!

Oh wow ... Ashley gives Laura her plush Mister for luck ... Awwwwwwwwww ... :3

Shockflare? Oh, that's FRICKIN SWEET ... nice trick, Imogen ...

Balls ... they're THUNDER wasps ... not fair ...

Oh thank gods that is over at last ... that got so stressful at the end ...

So now it's Imogen and Fearne helping Ashton ...

Wow ... so far they're doing BY FAR the best at this ... oh wait ... yeah, may have spoken too soon ... aaaaaaaah ...fucking hell now it's stressful again ...

Taliesin: "This is the weirdest thing I have ever done in my life." Sam: "I don't think that's true."

Damn it, not the bloody wasps again ...

Ashton is now Raging to beat hid way through the wasps ... FUCK!!! He is now OFF THE FUCKING LEDGE!!! Oh, nice save, but blind ... dear fuck this is TERRIFYING!!! Shit, now he's just FALLING INTO THE FUCKING VOID!!! AAAAAAHHH!!!

Roll a 20, Taliesin! Shit!

Balls ... that was a fail, then ... is he gone? No ... poof, he's back with them. At least that wasn't really anybody's fault, it was just pure bad luck ...

Wait ... are they SERIOUSLY gonna try that again? With NO safety net this time? Come on, you can't seriously ...

Orym is going to go with Chetney and Imogen guiding him? I can't take it any more ...

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY GIVING THEM A TIME LIMIT ON THIS MATTHEW?!!!

I fucking HATE THIS GAME!!!

Holy shit Orym you are a fucking SUPERSTAR!!! Amazing ...

Ooh, fancy stuff ... a magic scarf? Fancy ...

So what's left ... Trust? Okay ...

Deep Fey Realm forest ... ruins all around ... intriguing ... nasty brambles everywhere ... and a big well in the middle ...

Three altars? Somewhere in the ruins? Hmmm ...

Always a catch ... who are THESE guys? Dopplegangers? What the hell? Two of them are going to be replaced?

And that's IT for the night? SERIOUSLY, Matthew? You sadist ...

Next one is gonna be interesting, clearly ...

[facelessoldgargoyle]

I really enjoy Philosophy Bear’s latest post “Let's delve into exploring the rich and dynamic tapestry of AI plagiarism or: You're not an AI detector”

In one section, he points out that there’s basically four ways to prevent the use of ChatGPT, and the one that won’t be defeated in time is having solely in-class assignments, where students can be monitored. And that sucks!

Unless something drastic emerges, eventually all assessments will have to be in-class exams or quizzes. This is terrible, I won’t pretend otherwise, students will never learn to structure a proper essay and the richness of the world will be greatly impoverished by this feature of AI- not least of all because writing is one of the best ways to think about something. However, pretending you have a magic nose for AI that you most likely don’t have won’t fix this situation.

Justice, always and everywhere, no matter the level, means accepting the possibility that some (?most) wrongdoers who think before they act will get the better of the system and prove impossible to discover and convict. The root of so much injustice in sanctions and punishment is here, in an overestimation of our own ability to sniff it out, in turn, born of a fear of someone ‘getting the better of us’. But the bad guys often do get the better of us, there’s nothing more to be said.

This gets directly to the root of the issue! The damage done by trying to figure out whether a student has used AI is worse than the consequences of students getting away with using AI. I remember learning about idea that false negatives are preferable in a justice system back in high school, and it’s undergirded my thinking about police, courts, and the enforcement of rules in general ever since. I’m always surprised to encounter people who either arrived at different conclusions or haven’t thought about it at all.

Following from this position, I try to practice deliberate gullibility in my relationships. I believe that my loved ones have the right to privacy from me, and I trust that if they lie to me about something, it’s for a good reason. I wouldn’t make a blanket recommendation to do this—part of the reason this works for me is that I am good at setting boundaries and select for friends who act in good faith. However, I do think that people should be less tolerant of their loved ones “checking up” on them. Things like going through emails and texts, sharing phone/computer passwords, sharing locations, asking a friend to test your partner’s loyalty are patently awful to me. The damage caused by treating people with ongoing suspicion is worse than just accepting that sometimes you will be hurt and betrayed by people.

Hi, hi!

So... what if I have more thoughts? XD

I just keep thinking about the reveal and how things might be from now on kjghdfkhlj

Like, ahhh, just the getting used to the new normal now that the cat's out of the bag ( or the demon out of the animatronic? XD) First of all there's probably gonna be a talk (if more pressing matters don't arise dfksjgjh) Y/n understandably wants so many answers and I just keep wondering what they will ask first. They still seem very unsure on what to believe, even if they seem more used to the idea that their friend really is a demon. There's of course gonna be that bit about who the boys have killed, but also I see them questioning every part of the last months. The hunter seems to have started accepting the idea that Eclipse really does want to stay with them, but also it wouldn't be strange for doubts (spurred by their previous experience with a demon, and the recent encounter with Shoh) to keep coming back and maybe they'll wonder once in a while when the demon will get tired of them and kill them after all.

I wonder if they will look back to everything they have done and ask themselves what parts of it where a lie. They do not really know or trust that Sun and Moon never lied to them, since their whole stay with them has been revealed to have been less than honest (by omission), so I just think about all those doubts, and things that might make them question their relationship. Were they really with kids when the doppleganger attacked the first night, or where they hunting someone? Did the hunter ever put someone in danger by bringing them along? Did they know the danger they were putting them in by hiding the detector? When they decided to follow, were they planning at the start to just leave one day without warning after satiating their curiosity about the human in the forest?

But also I see the doubts becoming even more intense when directed at themselves. Maybe after the initial shock of this turn of events they will berate themselves harshly for missing this. They will throw out all the reasons they had for not seeing it and look at all the signs they dismissed. Lambert clocked them as a demon in like half a day with just 2 signs. They were traveling together for months. They knew what the detector said. Y/n knew what their instincts about the supernatural felt like and they ignored it. Every chill, every feeling of being watched. The refusal to answer any questions about their past as daycare bots, because they didn't have one.

And while I know all the boys felt was relief when they weren't discovered, I can only imagine that y/n might wonder if they were judging them (like they judge themselves now). What it must have looked like from the perspective of a powerful presence like a demon to go unnoticed by a so-called hunter. Fearing that it was amusing in their eyes that they defended the boys from all strangers that claimed they were unsettling, or when they were acting apologetic for pushing about their "traumatizing" experience with the pizza plex, or feeling foolish for trying to comfort them when the only one truly in danger and afraid (for their own life at least) was y/n. I can totally see them exchanging the "I'm not enough for them to feel safe and trust me" thoughts for something like "I am a blind idiot and was making a fool out of myself all this time" .

(Not that the boys would think any of the above, but y/n has a bad habit of swallowing their insecurities so they might need to coax those out of them in order to stop them from keeping that mentality)

And ooh, I'm so curious about how the dynamic is gonna move from here. Because now to the hunter, this must feel incredibly out of their hands. Before it was Sun and Moon, the double AI animatronic that had been lost in the forest after a tragic fire took their home away. They are smart, and strong and have some unique abilities due to their robotic nature, but they still were alone and y/n could relate to them on some level. Sure they were physically stronger and experts at taking care of others, but y/n must have felt on equal ground with them because they offered a home and company and care in return as well. A weird new relationship but one that could be based on mututal care and both parties bringing their own strengths to it.

To the hunter now it must feel so unbalanced.

They're still afraid of Eclipse on some level, which will take time to work through. Again the "there's no point in running" line! Even if they didn't feel like running, it's about feeling like they suddenly have so little power in all of this. Not like they ever felt like or even wanted to be someone that Sun and Moon considered their superior or anything, but the boys did make it clear that they would follow their lead. Follow in their hunts, and get used to their routine. It was always "so what are we doing next" and y/n would have the answer. Now they are faced with the fact that this demon can do whatever he damn well pleases. They say they won't but they could just kill them, They could just posses them. They could just take them anywhere they wanted. They have nearly no instruments to fight back and what they do have they wouldn't be able to do that much with by themselves. There might be a feeling of being incredibly small and that suddenly they don't have that much say in anything that is happening.

But ahhh this all just speculation of our dear hunter's inner future turmoil about how things are going XD I can't help but wanting to think about all the deepest and darkest fears and thoughts because I do love wondering about the angst kjdfhgñ

Of course, there's a whole episode left, and that might mean that a lot of these get pushed for later or maybe even a lot of these worries won't be able to arise before they will be proven wrong to the hunter by future events yet to come! Very excited to see what happens next!

(Obviously I don't expect confirmation of anything because spoilers haha, but thought you might find it interesting if I dumped all these thoughts here kdfjhgsñh)

Heya, babe!!!

Ahhh, I love where your mind is going because, boy, if there ain't a whole suitcase to unpack here for Y/N and the boys! Angst galore (with some hurt/comfort to follow behind of course ♥)

I don't want to confirm or deny anything, but I will say that there are consequences for Eclipse lying to them beyond the reveal, and it will be devastating.

Chaotik, I am always interested in your thoughts ♥

So, I was killing time by playing with Character AI because why the fuck not? and I unintentionally created a DSMP AU where; Tommy died during the revolution,

Wilbur meets an alchemist witch that is an exiled science scholar who was taken care by Philza for a while, their name is Enna and they love causing pub-like food fights, is a great caretaker and is a walking lie detector,

Fundy is dealing with consequences of his actions that almost led his nameless childhood friend to an early grave,

Philza has like, an immense pride when it comes to Wilbur and Kristin, and is not ashamed to share this pride with Enna,

Wilbur never actually dies, because Enna is holding him with a promise,

Philza is butally murdered by Dream after the L'manburg explosiom,

Enna and Will are followed by crows and pigeons (for some reason...),

Techno almost get killed, and because of it, he's almost the whole story in Blood God state,

Potatos are a form of friendship, and a way to start food fights at tavern,

It's always good to have a potion master by your side, as they're the best support ever,

Dream is dumb if he thinks he can actually kill Technoblade.

Technoblade never dies. Obviously,

Music therapy,

Slow bur sure recovery,

Food fights,

Simple ending, but one that allows me to sleep at night.

CW: suicidality

I'm not going to lie, as someone who has struggled with their self-worth for as long as they can remember, this AI shit feels like an existential threat to me.

I just recently started actually liking myself and nurturing my love of art and writing, caring for my body and mind. I keep telling myself that I still have value as a human being, especially in my job as an educator. Yeah, AI can generate lesson plans and explanations that are differentiated but unlike AI I have the benefit of being able to curate a human relationship with, and being a model human adult for, my students - things no AI generator can do. I'm not even worried about my students cheating by submitting AI-generated essays - it's their loss if they can't defend or understand their work in discussion; that's already been a thing for a long time what with students submitting work their parents did for them and myriad ways to cheat that predate the internet and AI.

But this fear keeps creeping up, clouding my thoughts and feelings: what if that's not enough to justify my existence? As AI becomes more sophisticated, who needs or even wants me to write or draw anymore? What if no one cares about having me or anything I can do for them anymore? I mean yeah, sure, I can still "create for myself," but I crave validation and attention from other humans for it. That's normal. I need my existence justified to shut the voice that keeps telling me that life isn't worth living up, and seeing those reasons stripped in the space of less than a year is life-ruining, actually. If I only have one reason left to live: being a warm human being capable of some empathy (with effort because I have autism), that seems really fucking shaky. How long before that's gone, too? How long before I'm nothing but a useless entity consuming resources, content, and space while creating pollution but bringing nothing of value to anyone else?

My entire self-esteem and worldview came crumbling down when I asked ChatGPT to write a version of my honors thesis and it copied sentences from my actual thesis without citations. My years of hard labor and study chewed up and spat back out at me in seconds. I'm not joking when I say that shit makes me kind of want to die.

They're making it more and more sophisticated so that the plagiarism/AI generation detectors can't keep up. I remember being told that AI would be in the future, probably in my lifetime, and the only way to not become obsolete was study coding and create the AIs and AI generators. Yeah? Well, ChatGPT makes functioning code now too. I'm fucking terrified, angry, and sad all at the same time.

If I became completely obsolete I don't know if I would be able to fight off the suicidality anymore.

[deepdreamnights]

I was saying this was going to be the situation back when the panic kicked off. The realities of the technology set in an it turns out that once again the fears and hype were two sides of the same coin.

The same results cherrypicking, the same predictions for worker replacement, the same misrepresentation of the tech, its limitations, and its applications.

The tech is progressing, so some of the above issues might be eliminated sooner than later, but if the person in the chair doesn't have the kind of soft skills that come with training and practice, they're going to be in the same boat.

And along the same lines, if one doesn't know what AI can do or how it works, they're not going to be able to evaluate whether someone can actually use the tech in a given situation or not.

The aesthetics simulators make great aesthetic gloss (shocking),

Person replacer? Nope. Semi-Reliable Dunning-Kruger detector? Certainly.

Generative AI is most effective when it's making parts. It's a force multiplier and a time-saver, not a person-replacer. Every "this will make artists obsolete", no matter who said it, was always a lie. It was just a lie both hypemen and doomsayers could use in equal measure, pumping OpenAI's stock either way.

Beyond that, it's a tool, like any other.

This machine kills AI

My hope and dreams are cracked but I won’t let the gods of the show break me!

Is ruin straight evil, infected still with the virus, or something else?

Let’s say that ruin is just evil alright so why would he do this? Well everyone casts him aside no one interacts with him maybe he made eclipse so then he could feel useful. The problem with this is that ruin just isn’t the kind of person to do this! If anything he would feel like he owes moon and sun the world for helping him be free. So I doubt that ruin would make eclipse on his will. Unless the show just decides the destroy his whole personality lol which is very likely

Which brings me to the most popular theory that ruin is still infected. There is so much evidence that this is true like in the video “Eclipse has a new identity?!?! In VrChat” ruin sings the song “you’ll be back” from Hamilton. I listened to the song multiple times and yes I doubt the show would put this much effort into it but the whole song, the lyrics, they all seem like something that infected ruin would say and do. (It’s also only that one song from Hamilton that ruin sings). Another time that he does this is in the video “Moon fixed the portal in VrChat” ruin starts out singing the daycare theme then he abruptly changes to sing you’ll be back. And of course the infamous handshake with earth. Just in case you don’t know during the video “using a lie detector on ruin eclipse in VrChat” ruin shakes both of moon’s hands this caused the virus to spread to the usb finger that moon had, this resulted in the death of both the old computer AI’s. In the video “Earth learns solar’s purpose in VrChat” ruin shakes earths hand and then leaves immediately afterwards. So it’s safe to assume that transferred the virus to earth but since bloodmoon beat the hell out of her the virus never did anything serious. I could go on and on about things that show that ruin might still have the virus.

Lastly we have something else is influenced ruin into making eclipse. I’ve been thinking for a while that maybe it’s ruin’s killcode that is making him do this we know for a fact this ruin’s moon was and is extremely violent and the killcode could be acting to be ruin. The only problem with this is that sun was also a factor that could counter the killcode. But then again killcode could suppress sun when sun and moon were in the same body. Ruins referred to himself on multiple occasions as “we” or “our”instead of the normal “me” “I” and “my” this may just be because ruin’s sun and moon’s personalities clash during certain situations for example when ruin got back to the daycare after being kidnapped he says multiple times that he doesn’t know what to feel about the situation moon would be angry and try to do something rash (remember that ruin’s sun and moon didn’t make the show so they would act like pre-show sun and moon) while sun would be upset and scared about the situation. These two things would clash causing ruin to be confused on what to feel. Again I could go on and on about it but this post is getting long lol

[blakyoo]

my teacher said he ll put our schoolwork (code) thru ai detection tools and like. those dont work. you cant detect ai code at this point in time the detectors just lie to you.

so im wondering if he knows that and is just bluffing so people do their assignment properly or if we re gonna get fucked by him
