Sometimes AI lies to you. Or makes up facts.

What gets me is AI/Plagiarism detectors like Turnitin. My instructor had us submit papers to turnitin.com, and it indicated my paper was 9% AI-generated. I'm a professional writer and have been for years. So, I submitted two of my magazine articles from 2018 to my instructor so that she could see AI trained on writers like me. 

That is going to be hilarious in the future. AI will accuse people of plagiarism when its database could contain the same writings of that person.

Then, for the longest time, it has been common practice for people to use reference materials in their own works. That could draw an AI plagiarism flag. Gonna be interesting.

Driver's license, passport, voter ID card, birth certificate, social security card, etc., we're going to need all types of ID in order to function in the future...but maybe not.

All of this could be a set up to have human beings voluntary get a microchip placed in themselves for ID purposes.😁😎

AI is such a profound threat is so many ways.

It's funny that you use AI to detect AI.

@gio74's tactic may not be that "funny." Whose else would be better at detecting--it take one to know one.

It has come to a point that I can't tell with 100% certainty. Many of the tells that I used to use are going away or are being edited out.

One thhing gets on my nerves is AI's love affair with emojis. If you ever see written text with more than a handful of emoji's assume it was written by an AI.

Yes, that is a bit too much. Also AI speak, such as, "Let's sit with that for a minute." 😄

Exactly, which is why I wrote the next part. Grammarly AI shows the writer how to beat AI detectors. 😉

Yes! AI helped me better understand NvisiLink®️. I spent so much time educating vendors and investors that now I know how to position it better to OEMs, investors, buyers, and tech journalists. Now I don't have to wait for outside analysts to do the work. And I can produce those analyses, articles, and compositions quickly through my AI process.

Yeah, I stopped using Grammarly once AI came on the scene. I'm surprised Grammarly is still in business I did not think they had a viable business model. What service can they actually provide the free version of ChatGPT can't handle?

NvisiLink

Speaking of NvisiLink I never did follow up on my investment several years ago.

I know someone who sells windows and wear a band that records his interactions with customers then works up a profile of the customer they motivations what they need to hear. He is very impressed with the products and closed more deal as a result.

@Delano whether a chat bot makes things up is of less consequence, today, that when a human lies to you are makes things up.

I just checked my NvisiLink account today. I was surprised to learn that my investment shows a $26.60 increase. Your digital account is at startengine.com and the company is Espre Technologies, Inc. Also you're on the mailing list so I know you get the quarterly reports. I prepare them and send them out through mailchimp.com. If you'd like I can send yours through text tomorrow and the next quarter when I distribute again.

OH! If you mean follow up $$$ - The product is at TRL 6 and is doing a private raise. Visit NvisiLink.com for more information.

While LLM can edit too -Sometimes, I just want to write and check for typos. Grammar also have this new product called Superhuman AI Enterprise. I don't subscribe to it but they did get a large investment to grow the company. In addition to grammarly you can upload your corporate style guide so that it checks for grammar and does a style check. It also helps you strengthen syntax, structure, and make a stronger argument - especially if you lose your flow. But most of all I can't use LLM AI/Gen AI for class assignments.

Remember I returned to school so I cant use Chat/Gemini.or Claude to write my assignments. We are allowed to use AI grammar tools. That's how I learned about Grammarly's AI detection feature that helps you to tighten up your essays so it won't be flagged for AI. I needed that because I got flagged on one of my assignments and it was my original manuscript. So I checked to see why I got flagged and learned it was because I'm an old school writer. I use em dashes, examples in threes, oxford comma, and active voice writing. In the end, I kept my original work and just complained to the instructor. Sometimes the AI detectors make you dumb down your work. I refuse to let AI hi-jack my writing style.

It matters because most people aren't expecting AI to make stuff up.
