I would disagree with this. There have been several instances where the effective use of this First-Person language has had measurable gains in success rates across tasks. The effective usage of this First-Person language for communication and steering between a model/agent and a human is entirely different than whether the model itself can "think" - that does not matter for the former to happen.

It's crazy how far i had to scroll to find someone saying exactly what i was thinking - how come AI sloppy writing like this is showing up on Hn front page?

I'm sure there are some good advice in there but lots of slop as well

Chill my dude. This is just a sane default which will catch normies copy pasting stuff from claude and chatgpt. It's good enough.

Do you not want "normies" to have local AI? Do you believe that your ability to use esoteric software makes you special, makes you immune to law? The days where you can find refuge in running "weird hacker crap" instead of 100% goobermint approved software are numbered because news flash: AI means there are no normies anymore. Anyone can do anything.

No, I will not chill. The war on general purpose computing is gonna get real hot real soon.

Pasting it where?

Homework assignments, spam emails, LinkedIn

the api to detect if text is AI generated will be for large bespoke companies, governments etc. not teachers or the general public,

Universities are functionally large companies

Oh so you already knew that?

If they give it to every teacher it’s the same as giving it to everyone so they’re not going to do that.

And giving it to employees of a large company is materially different in what way?

I mean what are they doing right now at Google? Optimizing data centres? Pretty lame compared to this. Even if they completely fail, i'm sure there'll be good lessons.
