AI, Plagiarism, and CYA

Shout-out for all the students gearing up to go back to school in increasingly frustrated times when dealing with all this AI bullshit. As you've probably noticed, lots of institutions have adapted anti-plagiarism software that incorporates AI detectors that - surprise - aren't that great. Many students are catching flack for getting dinged on work that isn't AI generated, and schools are struggling to catch up to craft policies that uphold academic rigor. It sucks for everyone involved!

As a student, it can really feel like you're in a bind, especially if you didn't do anything wrong. Your instructor isn't like to be as tech-savvy as some, and frankly, you might not be as tech-savvy as you think either. The best thing to do, no matter how your school is handling things, is to Cover Your Ass.

Pay attention to the academic policy. Look, I know you probably skimmed the syllabus. Primus knows I did too, but the policy there is the policy the instructor must stick with. If the policy sets down a strong 'don't touch ChatGPT with a ten-foot pole' standard, stick to it. If you get flagged for something you thought was okay because you didn't read the policy carefully, you don't have ground to stand on if you get called out.

Turn off Autosave and save multiple (named) drafts. If you're using Microsoft Word because your school gives you a free license, the handy Autosave feature may be shooting you in the foot when it comes to proving you did the work. I know this seems counter-intuitive, but I've seen this bite enough people in the ass to recommend students go old-school. Keep those "draft 1234" in a file just in case.

Maintaining timestamped, clearly different drafts of a paper can really help you in the long-run. GoogleDocs also goes a much better job of tracking changes to a document, and may be something to consider, however, with all this AI shit, I'm hesitant to recommend Google. Your best bet, overall, is to keep multiple distinctive drafts that prove how your paragraphs evolved from first to final.

Avoid Grammarly, ProWiritingAid, etc. All that handy 'writing tools' software that claims to help shore up your writing aren't doing you any favors. Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and other software throw up immediate flags in AI-detection software. You may have only used it to clean up the grammar and punctuation, but if the AI-detection software says otherwise, you might be screwed. They're not worth using over a basic spell and grammar check in both Word and GoogleDocs can already do.

Cite all citations and save your sources! This is basic paper-writing, but people using ChatGPT for research often neglect to check to make sure it isn't making shit up, and that made up shit is starting to appear on other parts of the internet. Be sure to click through and confirm what you're using for your paper is true. Get your sources and research material from somewhere other than a generative language model, which are known for making shit up. Yes, Wikipedia is a fine place to start and has rigorously maintained sources.

Work with the support your school has available. My biggest mistake in college was not reaching out when I felt like I was drowning, and I know how easy it is to get in you head and not know where to turn when you need more help. But I've since met a great deal of awesome librarians, tutors, and student aid staff that love nothing more to devote their time to student success. Don't wait at the last moment until they're swamped - you can and will succeed if you reach out early and often.

I, frankly, can't wait for all this AI bullshit to melt down in a catastrophic collapse, but in the meantime, take steps to protect yourself.

This is an excellent thread and a way of looking at the situation I hadn't considered before. Now I'm having thoughts:

The AI grift boils down to a two-part promise: One, you can easily ask the AI tool and get an answer, the right and complete and authoritative answer so you don't have to do any work. Just plug the answer into whatever you're doing and move on. Two, since part one is true you don't have to pay for employees or fund organizations to do research or create documentation or answer queries. AI will magically replace all of that for you. (You also don't have to pay for information since AI can just steal it for you, but unpacking that promise would take a whole other thread.) But even if generative AI didn't lie and hallucinate - which it does - and even if it could magically pull out the best known answer to every query from some magically free source - which it can't - there is still a massive flaw with the whole idea. Even the very simplest most straightforward question with a single correct answer will only have that answer online if someone, somewhere, did the work. It took work to find the information, synthesize and analyze it, and to put it it somewhere online that can be queried. And most questions don't have a single straightforward right answer, or not one that you can get to easily. The bluesky thread lays out a good example of what searching for information yourself can be like and why it's a good thing to do. Even if generative AI worked, even if 90% of the horrendous problems with it were solved, having it be your only way to get answers would be disastrous.

I see some of your pro-ai stuff, and I also see that you're very good at explaining things, so I have some concerns about ai that I'd like for you to explain if it's okay.

I'm very worried about the amount of pollution it takes to make an ai generated image, story, video, etc. I'm also very worried about ai imagery being used to spread disinformation.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to go by the stance that since we can't un-create ai, we should just try our best to manage. How do we manage things like disinformation and massive amounts of pollution? To be fair, I actually don't know the exact amount of pollution ai generated prompts make.

so, first off: the environmental devastation argument is so incorrect, i would honestly consider it intellectually dishonest. here is a good, thorough writeup of the issue.

the tl;dr is that trying to discuss the "environmental cost of AI" as one monolithic thing is incoherent; AI is an umbrella term that refers to a wide breadth of both machine-learning research and, like, random tech that gets swept up in the umbrella as a marketing gimmick. when most people doompost about the environmental cost of AI, they're discussing image generation programs and chat interfaces in particular, and the fact is that running these programs on your computer eats about as much energy as, like, playing an hour of skyrim. bluntly, i consider this argument intellectually dishonest from anyone who does not consider it equally unethical to play skyrim.

the vast majority of the environmental cost of AI such as image generation and chat interfaces comes from implementation by large corporations. this problem isn't tractable by banning the tool; it's a structural problem baked into the existence of massive corporations and the current phase of capitalism we're in. prior to generative AI becoming a worldwide cultural trend, corporations were still responsible for that much environmental devastation, primarily to the end of serving ads--and like. the vast majority of use cases corporations are twisting AI to fit boil down to serving ads. essentially, i think focusing on the tool in this particular case is missing the forest for the trees; as long as you're not addressing the structural incentives for corporations to blindly and mindlessly participate in unsustainable extractivism, they will continue to use any and all tools to participate in such, and i am equally concerned about the energy spent barraging me with literally dozens and dozens of digital animated billboards in a ten-mile radius as i am with the energy spent getting a chatbot to talk up their product to me.

moving onto the disinformation issue: actually, yes, i'm very concerned about that. i don't have any personal opinions on how to manage it, but it's a very strong concern of mine. lowering the skill floor for production of media does, necessarily, mean a lot of bad actors are now capable of producing a much larger glut of malicious content, much faster.

i do think that, historically speaking, similar explosions of disinformation & malicious media haven't been socially managed by banning the tool nor by shaming those who use it for non-malicious purposes--like, when it was adopted for personal use, the internet itself created a sudden huge explosion of spam and disinformation as never before seen in human history, but "get rid of the internet" was never a tractable solution to this, and "shame people you see using the internet" just didn't do anything for the problem.

wish i could be more helpful on solutions for that one--it's just not a field i have any particular knowledge in, but if there's anyone reading who'd like to add on with information about large-scale regulation of the sort of broad field of malicious content i'm discussing, feel free.

[painthropologist]

Why do I, as a non-US resident/citizen, who is not US educated, care about what's happening to education there?

Simple. We are living in an age of increasing anti-intellectualism. This has catastrophic consequences not only for those in the present, but for generations to come. Being able to think freely for yourself and make informed choices is necessary when politicians and oligarchs expect you to be dumb and silent.

Free, accessible quality education should be valued as a tool that empowers the people. An age of ignorance is what people in power want. They want you to use AI tools instead of thinking for yourself and developing your own capacity to do basic research. They want to keep you dumb and silent so you don't have the means or the grounds to fight back. This does NOT have to be the case.

As of today I am offering my services as a social anthropologist and academic to anyone who might need them. Want some interesting reading material? Need help deciphering said reading material? Just curious? HIT ME UP.

I'm not going to pretend that I am qualified in everything. Above all, I am a social anthropologist with a background in humanitarian and environmental crises (this includes political anthropology), and contemporary religious anthropology. But if I can't help you, I can do my best to put you in touch with those who can.

The time for action on education is NOW. It is up to us as a global network of thinkers to uplift and empower those without the access to education. Fight censorship. Fight those who seek to oppress education. Fight those who expect you to be dumb and silent. With education, we can change the world for the better.

9/12 Blog Post Week #3

Why and how can the internet be or feel like a safe space for women outside of political organizations? 

For many women not involved in political groups, the internet can feel like a safe space where they can challenge the gender inequality they deal with in their everyday lives. It gives them a place to explore who they are, connect with others, and talk about feminism and gender issues without the restrictions they face offline. Nouraie-Simone (2005) explains that for young Iranian women, the internet becomes "a liberating territory of one’s own—a place to resist a traditionally imposed subordinate identity" (p. 61). It offers them a break from the limitations of public life, allowing them to express themselves freely. In this way, the internet is like the “room of one’s own” that Virginia Woolf described—offering women a personal, empowering space to speak up and take control of their identity.

Reference: Nouraie-Simone, F. (2005). On Shifting Ground: Muslim Women in the Global Era. The Feminist Press at CUNY.

2. Would it be considered right or wrong when people seek out online spaces that affirm and solidify their own social identities? 

Looking for online spaces that support and strengthen one's own social identity is usually seen as a positive thing. People often use the internet to connect with others who share their racial, gender, or sexual identities, which can be empowering. For instance, young people might use social media to express themselves and connect with friends (Boyd, 2004). People of color and LGBTQ+ individuals also use specific websites to affirm their identities and find like-minded people (Bryson, 2004). Nouraie-Simone (2005) notes that for those in restrictive environments, the internet can provide a freeing space to explore and express their identities (p. 61-62). Moreover, research shows that people with health issues use online platforms to talk about their experiences openly, rather than to escape them (Pitts, 2004). So, using the internet to support one’s identity is generally a meaningful and helpful practice.

3. How can high tech tools impact and affect poor working class communities negatively when it is supposed to “help those in need?”

Even with the best-laid plans, high-tech instruments can be detrimental to underprivileged populations. Governor LePage of Maine falsely claimed that recipients of TANF were abusing their benefits based on EBT data, despite the fact that only 0.03% of transactions were dubious. Due to the perpetuation of unfavorable perceptions, receiving public aid was seen as "lazy" or "criminal" (Eubanks, 2018, p. 19). Stricter regulations were consequently implemented, burdening families with additional stress (e.g., requiring them to retain receipts for a year). In this instance, technology didn't help—rather, it made things more difficult for individuals who require assistance.Eubanks, V. (2018). Automating inequality: How high-tech tools profile, police, and punish the poor. St. Martin's Press.

4. AI struggles to be able to fully conduct black and asian faces and it is known. Why does law enforcement rely on this to identify these people knowing the risk of putting someone innocent behind bars? 

Facial recognition tech is notoriously bad at identifying Black and Asian faces, but law enforcement still uses it. Research shows that these systems are much more likely to misidentify people of color because they’re often trained on biased data (Buolamwini & Gebru, 2018). For example, Nijeer Parks, a Black man from New Jersey, was wrongfully arrested after being misidentified by facial recognition—he's the third known Black man to face this kind of mistake (Hill, 2020). Even though the risks are clear, police keep using this flawed tech, likely because it seems like an easy solution, but it ends up hurting innocent people. There needs to be more caution and oversight to prevent these errors.

Small rant about AI.

The Fall

The stars announce the fall of the first sun. So let it be war. Countless angels in rebellion sacrifice their home for a cause, lost after all. And the star, whose brilliance dazzles even the highest ones, is reborn from the darkness. With the fleetingness of a comet, he destroys the enemy. After the bloody massacre in paradise, the star proclaimed.

"Does it scare you?"

"What?" The prince demanded to know.

"Even if I fall, I will not die. Even if I die, the fight will not end" The star smiled "Does it scare you that, truly, you will never win?"

A silent pause after his words. The prince cried.

"God, have mercy" said the prince.

The sword didn't hurt as much as the tears falling from an angel's eyes. Alas, he fell. The first and the last one to fall. As he was known to be the morning star, the sky lost its beauty and only, and just only, the night was to be the only witness of his glare.

He fell to the ground, his pearly wings turned gray, from his chest the first drop of red elixir was born. From it, flowers bloomed, which then for as quick as they were born. A source of life and death. Beauty is created in the same place ugliness is.

And then, a smile formed on his face. He didn't talk, he didn't walk, he only smiled. As the morning became the evening, he was free.

Quick thing I wrote just now about The Fall from Heaven!!! I have been seeing a lot of people defending AI creations and I gotta say I hate them! So I decided to make something myself. An offering for my beautiful Lord Lucifer who only deserves good things, love and real art.

No AI has a soul. No AI has the love for art a human does. Writing a question and letting a machine do it is not art. It is not a tool. It is a generator. This is not helping you do something yourself, it makes it for you.

I have never used AI, nor do I want to. I find it extremely unappealing, inappropriate in an art setting, and unacceptable as a recognised form of art. It's not a brush that helps you put the paint on the canvas. It's not a camera that captures what you are seeing. It's not a keyboard that helps you put the words yourself on the paper. A tool is meant to help, not do the job.

For many projects I've done with people, all of them have used AI because "it's easier". Where has love for creation gone? Where has love for research and curiosity gone? How would you view Gods if they didn't put any effort in their creations?

I'm not talking about stealing art (which it probably does), I'm talking about CREATING. DOING SOMETHING YOURSELF. PUTTING EFFORT IN SOMETHING. People who use these kinds of programmes just feel like they don't care enough to put effort into what they do. They don't want a challenge. They don't want to fulfil any ambition inside of them. They just want something quick.

I'm telling you (and I'm not speaking for any deity), I seriously don't think any deity will be pleased if you showed them something a machine made. There is no absolute thought behind it, there is no effort, there is no LOVE.

When you put time and suffering into making something good for someone, you put LOVE into it. It's what moves art, LOVE for creation. LOVE for self expression. SPENDING TIME CREATING SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE IS SPENDING TIME LOVING THEM.

No AI has that. I personally would be disgusted at the thought someone gave me something made by AI instead of making it themselves. I don't care if it's the worst thing I've ever seen, it took you time, and that time was spent thinking about me and what I would like. When you use AI, you don't have that.

I hope that I was clear, my English now is not very good, but I think you understand what I mean. My art is not the best, but at least I make it myself. Don't use AI, do something yourself. 🫶🏻

My Fanfiction Pet Peeves

I'm outing my age a bit here, but I've been reading fanfiction since the 1970s, back when you had to purchase a fanzine to enjoy the stories. I've been writing fanfiction, first for myself and later sharing the stories, since slightly before that time period. Discovering FREE internet fanfiction was the best thing ever!

That said, over the years I've found myself delighted, disgusted, and annoyed to hell and back. In many ways I believe the essential disappearance of physical fanzines has been a detriment to some very inventive writers who, as Brando said, "coulda been a contender" with a little help from fanzine editors. I cannot tell you how much I learned from mine.

Here are some of my most annoying peeves from the fanfics I've read on the 'net. Bear with me if you don't like them. Or maybe learn from what I'm pointing out.

If what you're posting is a fragment, identify it as one. For instance, almost every EAD (Evil Author Day) is clearly indicated as such, either in the title itself or in "other tags". Same for story ideas.

Building on that, please don't mark your story as complete when it isn't. If you have more to post to the story, it isn't complete. If you haven't tied up your storyline, it isn't complete. If you suddenly get bored, distracted, or have moved on from the fandom you're writing about, IT. IS. NOT. COMPLETE. If you know that you won't be coming back to the story sometime in the future, at least tag it as ABANDONED, INCOMPLETE if you simply must mark it as complete. Many of us prefer to read completed stories. I cannot tell you how annoyed I get when I'm suckered into a great story or an engrossing story only to realize it isn't finished. Ditto on cliff-hanger ending. Tag it! Let me make the choice.

Spellcheck is a wonderful tool, but it won't catch everything. If you don't have a beta, even one who isn't into the fandom that you're writing in can catch typos and missing words that spellcheck might miss. Or, if you don't want to out yourself, put your story aside for a week or so, then go back and reread it slowly. It's "soldier", not "solider", for example.

Stay away from AI. Do not post AI stories or art as yours. It isn't and someone will catch it. Believe me. At the very least credit the Ai for the finished product.

Do some basic research. You don't have to fall down the rabbit hole of research, but at least check a few things out. For instance, from my NCIS fandom, I've read stories that put Mexico a couple of hours from D.C. Yeah, that is obviously wrong and all it would take would be a look at a map.

Don't overshare about your personal, financial, or professional life. I know the impulse to connect with your readers, partly to explain why you might be slower posting than you had hoped, partly because those readers seem like friends, like your people. And they might very well be, but ... there are baddies all over the internet who can use what you say to scam you, con you, hurt you. Many of you are minors or, at the very least, extremely young. Sadly you need to develop a protective shield to keep yourself safe. So keep your explanations short and to the point. Keep your private life private.

I have others, but these are some of my top ones. I don't want to discourage new writers. We all have to start somewhere. And fandom is, with a few exceptions, done for fun.

Hmmm :/

Just got this from infostack.

It’s hard to believe how quickly things changed. One day, AI felt like a distant dream. Then ChatGPT arrived… and suddenly, there’s a new AI tool popping up everywhere you look. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably wondered: Which tools are worth using? How do I even keep up? Here’s the reality: AI is reshaping the way we write—forever. And while you could keep doing things the old-fashioned way… But let’s be real: why spend days (or weeks!) researching, editing, and revising when AI can streamline it all? That’s where the AI Writing Blueprint 2.0 comes in. I created this game-changing guide which I believe is your shortcut to mastering AI tools without losing your creative spark or unique voice. Here’s what makes it a must-have: No fluff: Skip the endless YouTube tutorials and scattered advice. Comprehensive yet simple: Demystifies AI in just 15 minutes—even if you’re starting from scratch. Versatile: Whether you're writing novels, crafting blog posts, or creating marketing copy, this blueprint has you covered. And the best part? It’s completely FREE. Click here to download your AI Writing Blueprint 2.0 now! But don’t wait—access will be limited soon, and you don’t want to miss out. Happy writing!

And... I don't know. I keep waffling about whether to look into AI writing at all.

I definitely do NOT like the social and environmental costs of AI. I am fairly dubious about how helpful it can be.

But I'm also an intensely slow writer who does not have an overload of ideas or work at the moment. Or, at least, I don't have an ACTUAL overload even if it FEELS like an overload.

And it's not particularly smart to give up a tool set, sight unseen, that is helping a lot of other people in your field.

I want to know HOW MUCH it helps in terms of HOW MUCH it costs for the help. Which includes environmental damage and social decohesion, not just some monthly subscription. And I know no one wants to tell me that. I doubt anyone actually knows, if I'm honest. And I can't even answer the positive side without trying it.

So...

I dunno.

If anyone has any starry eyed "It's amazing, it really helped me, even though I can write a book on my own just fine, it's so worth it" I guess I'd love to hear it.

Otherwise I guess I'll ignore this and just keep on doing my best to ignore my creeping FOMO. Because I don't dislike AI because I think it CAN'T EVER do what I want. I dislike it because I think it can if I pour a significant amount of work into it but that the costs for the benefit will significantly outweigh that benefit. I've seen what I would consider real art made with AI. Stuff that is impressive, beautiful, and has something to say. That's not the problem. The problem is that it is going to drink all the water and strangle everyone's future employment. It's a little help in exchange for extinction. And I need that formulae to change before I use it, I think. But the FOMO is very real.

Deepseek vs Google Gemini vs ChatGPT: Which AI Brain Would You Pick? 🌟**

Hey, digital wanderers! Let’s talk about the three AI heavyweights currently vibing in the techosphere: *Deepseek, **Google Gemini, and **ChatGPT. They’re all brainy, but they’ve got *very different personalities. Let’s break it down like we’re judging a talent show (but for robots). 

---

### *1. Deepseek 🧠* 

*The Niche Genius* 

Born in China’s tech labs, Deepseek is like that friend who aces calculus and writes code in their sleep. It’s laser-focused on *technical tasks*—think data analysis, coding help, and hyper-accurate research. Need to debug Python at 3 AM? Deepseek’s your caffeine-free fix. 

*Strengths:* 

- *Code whisperer*: Fixes errors, writes scripts, and explains algorithms like a patient tutor. 

- *Data wizard*: Crunches numbers and spots trends faster than you can say “spreadsheet.” 

- *Minimal fluff*: Straightforward, no chit-chat (unless you beg). 

*Quirks:* 

- Not the best at creative writing or casual banter. 

- Still learning non-English languages. 

*Best for:* Developers, analysts, and anyone who dreams in binary.

### *2. Google Gemini 🤖* 

*The Smooth Operator* 

Google’s answer to “What if AI could do… everything?” Gemini is the ultimate multitasker. It’s baked into Google’s ecosystem (Workspace, Search, etc.), so it feels like that one friend who’s weirdly good at organizing your life. Plus, it’s *multimodal—meaning it *sees, hears, and talks (yes, you can yell at it). 

*Strengths:* 

- *Ecosystem king*: Syncs with Google tools like Docs, Sheets, and your soul (just kidding… maybe). 

- *Multimedia maestro*: Analyzes images, videos, and audio. Show it a meme, and it’ll explain the joke. 

- *Safety first*: Google’s strict guardrails keep it PG-13 (no existential crises here). 

*Quirks:* 

- Can be overly cautious (avoids spicy opinions like a toddler avoids broccoli). 

- Still rolling out, so some features feel like a “coming soon” trailer. 

*Best for:* Google loyalists, students, and anyone who wants AI to handle their errands.

### *3. ChatGPT 🎨* 

*The Creative Chaotic* 

The OG crowd-pleaser! ChatGPT is like that artsy friend who writes poetry, roleplays as a pirate, and occasionally makes up fake historical facts. With GPT-4 (and plugins!), it’s a Swiss Army knife of creativity and chaos. 

*Strengths:* 

- *Storyteller supreme*: Writes novels, jokes, and fanfic about sentient toasters. 

- *Customizable*: Plugins let it book flights, analyze PDFs, or teach you piano. 

- *Personality++*: Sassy, empathetic, or professional—you pick the vibe. 

*Quirks:* 

- Sometimes hallucinates (e.g., “Shakespeare definitely wrote Star Wars”). 

- Requires clever prompting to avoid rambling. 

*Best for:* Writers, curious minds, and anyone who wants AI with ✨rizz✨.

### *So… Who Wins?* 

- *Need to code?* Deepseek. 

- *Living in Google-land?* Gemini. 

- *Want creativity + chaos?* ChatGPT. 

Or just rotate all three and feel like an AI CEO. 

*Poll time!* Which would you trust with your to-do list: 

🔵 Deepseek’s precision 

🟠 Gemini’s Google magic  🟢 ChatGPT’s chaotic charm 

*Visual vibe:* A doodle of three robots arm-wrestling on a laptop keyboard, with coffee cups labeled “CODE,” “SEARCH,” and “ART” spilling everywhere. 🌈✨
