#human vs machine

[jessicalprice]

Hello! I’m testing AI detectors on fiction, since most research has been on nonfiction (hypothesis: humans are as good or better than the detectors at distinguishing between AI-generated and human-written fiction, since AI detectors are largely a scam).

In order to get a human baseline, I’m trying to get a decent sample size of human detection.

If you’d like to help out, please test your detection abilities here: https://jlp-experiment.github.io/ai-detection-test/

AI vs Human Fiction Detection Test

Thank you!

Sparrow becoming a hybrid is both interesting and has scary implications to the entire concept of hybrids

He didn't just become a hybrid, he became a new person. He became completely different.

Aside from the creepy body things like no longer breathing or having camera eyes, he's had a lot of mind-altering changes. Sure, you got the basic things you'd expect. Any copper golem would be more infatuated with copper and buttons than a human.

But it goes so much further than that.

In his own words, he "doesn't fully remember what got him here." He doesn't have full recollection of his human life. He knows mechanical stuff without understanding why he does. He gets upset over his storage, an especially interesting part because the way you organise can say a lot about you. He feels disgusted at the idea of staying at his campsite because of the nature, this is coming from the man who proudly presented his campsite when he first set it up. He literally runs a factory for copper.

Another thing that really interests me is how he's treating Scott. Who is pretty much his only real friend at the moment. It didn't feel like Sparrow treated him the same as before. He showed interest in the living side of Scott (his breathing/sleeping because Sparrow cant do this). But he also tried to steal Scott's axe and blamed him partially for his messy storage as he wanted him to intervene ("how could you let me life like this"). And i feel like human Sparrow would have absolutely ran to Scott the second he became a hybrid, excited to show his new powers off. I think that some of his final words to Scott, "i'm doing hybrid things", "i'm being special like you", are things Sparrow would say. But our current one said this while pushing Scott to leave the area to not bother him.

You can see the old Sparrow still shine through at times but it is also clear that he's so much more, and not in a good way. I think you can see the old Sparrow the best when he says things like "i'm a hybrid now so i can do it." Because he's been hyping up the concept of becoming a hybrid so much. Human Sparrow truely thought being a hybrid would be an amazing, magical thing.

It's like he's a mix between a pure machine and a human. His knowledge, his thought process, his wants, all are closer to that of a machine then the Sparrow we learned to know.

And it makes you wonder, maybe being a hybrid isnt as fun as it seems at first

Dammit, the AI that controls the station has gone homicidal. How would you try to escape?

I bolt for the closest exit, I never walk into a building I can't walk out of

I know a bit about power infrastructure, bet I can cut it without dying

set off the fire suppression system and force water into the electronics

feed some logical paradoxes or viruses into the system

pop the nearest hatch and uninstall whatever I can reach

get to the motor pool and start crashing vehicles through the walls

just go apeshit on whatever I can reach, maybe I'll break free

there's probably someone the AI likes, I'll try to work that angle

there are lots of things AIs can't do, I'll offer my services as a flunky

look either it kills me or it doesn't, no point stressing about it

🤖 The AI Debate Arena — Episode 4 Obsolete — or more powerful than ever?

Humanity faces its greatest mirror: a machine that can outperform us, but only if we forget the purpose we bring.

AI is advancing faster than most of us can keep up with — from writing novels to designing cities and even “thinking” through complex problems. But where does that leave us?

In this debate, two AI voices face off over a question that might define our century:

Is artificial intelligence destined to make humans obsolete — or will it amplify human potential beyond anything we’ve imagined?

One side argues that automation and machine learning will soon replace most human labor, erasing the need for creativity or thought. The other claims AI will be the greatest tool humanity ever built — one that helps us evolve into something greater.

I get great satisfaction from the fact that even though my phone has access to the entire english dictionary I can still beat it at scrabble
