<p>I don’t know how else to say that if you are against using any LLM, then you should stop using AI checkers of any sort. Not only are they just another tool to slurp up text, but every bit of writing with common words and phrases will be flagged as generated when it’s not because every LLM has common words and phrases in its training data. Lastly, every one of these checkers is designed to eventually get you to pay the tech company money so they can pretend to make your writing more human. They do not work the way you assume.</p><p>I know this is radical but we may just have to trust artists! I know, what a shock.</p><p>Besides, these AI losers can't shut the fuck up about using their generator so it really isn't hard to find people that use these things if you really wanna point the finger at someone.</p><p><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/llm/" rel="tag">#LLM</a> <a href="/tags/noai/" rel="tag">#NoAI</a> <a href="/tags/aislop/" rel="tag">#AISlop</a></p>
