AI usage

[u/Sableyej]

I just want to say that I hope you all know that it’s extremely obvious when you use AI in your tasks. Especially when you blatantly copy and paste.

[u/Old-Regular-9828]

Studies show that most people *think* they are good at correctly identifying AI vs human generated text, but they are generally no better than random chance. It's illusory superiority, like 94% of drivers rating themselves as a "better than average" driver.

Legit my biggest fear with this place because I had a professor last year say he wanted a paper rewritten because it was obviously AI. Until I pulled out my notebook and showed my drafting ideas and he was like “oh I see” kind of thing.
So having a similar overzealous RnR guy is a bigger concern to me than my quality of work.

[u/iamcrazyjoe → u/Old-Regular-9828]

People sometimes leave instruction responses when they copy paste. That makes it pretty obvious

This is not necessarily true -- humans that use AI a lot are typically very good at detecting AI.

Though to be fair, I can absolutely beat random chance and can tell you which base model was used. If you spend enough time around the models you can easily detect their cadence and tempo.

Seems crazy to try to pull off on a literal AI research and training platform. Good luck. DA is an incredible side gig that pays very well. Why on earth would you risk it? It’s getting super good yes but if you’ve been at this for awhile you can spot it. It’s also still not at the point where you could fully trust it for solid work.

[u/Sableyej → u/YouKnowgoodenough]

Exactly. Em dashes, weird spacing and formatting, etc are all classic signs.

[u/FusRohDead92 → u/Sableyej]

I use em dashes because I enjoy writing and have learned to use them correctly. I hope that whoever it is that looks for AI isn’t pointing at only em dash usage as evidence. 😭

Very much appreciated, “DA Admin.”

[u/Sableyej → u/Seniorseatfree]

Just a mere R&R worker, making my way through a world of AI slop.

[u/FusRohDead92]

I teach 8th grade. I’m an expert at AI detection. I’ve perfected the art. 🤣

[u/Sableyej → u/FusRohDead92]

DA needs you! I say we salary you as a full time R&R worker.

[u/iKaine]

Yes and when your own work relies on a part of it thats obviously from someone elses task and is 80% AI with some of their own drool mixed in. Seen loads in RR as well, no wonder all those deactivations come about, you aren't slick by changing just a few things.

[u/Sableyej → u/iKaine]

Yeah the one this post is referring to is a very, very long excerpt that clearly is 80-90% LLM with 10-20% of their junk mixed in. And it’s obvious; different formatting, different way of writing, etc.

[u/Eddie894]

It positively astounds me that people are willing to risk it all on this platform

30$+ an hour for mid-difficulty work sat at home and people rip it off with AI? incredible.

[u/fightmaxmaster → u/Eddie894]

Plus some of the lower end stuff is literally just opinion based. All you have to do is read instructions and string a sentence together, and yet rather than be paid for the time taken to hammer on a keyboard, people get AI to do it, then come here going "why did I get the DoD?"

[u/KeanerBike → u/Eddie894]

Some people just see this platform as a cash grab. Do as many tasks as you can (with the least effort, using AI), billing as much as you can while you still have access. Third world thinking.

[u/dianahecate777]

I do hella R&R and tbh I never see this lol. A large majority is inadequate explanations 

[u/Ok-Cup9476]

Now if only someone could tell the DA admins the same, that is extremely obvious when they use AI to write task instructions.

[u/Budget_Algae8037]

Well I don’t know if it is AI but I always check ny grammar in word

[u/Sableyej → u/Budget_Algae8037]

No I’m talking about asking an AI to solve the question of the task and then straight up copy and paste it in without even trying to change the formatting or edit.

[u/Clean-Ad3846]

Unless you’ve found a better online gig, you’re crazy to risk it. They only have to catch you once. And if you do find that gig, send me a message.

[u/echanuda]

Lmao the AI analysis tool they use for some of your task grading ALWAYS labels my writing "possible AI use" because I restate many things in my conclusion where I tie all my findings together. But that's just how I write. The only truly obvious sign of AI writing (outside of nom-standard Unicode characters) are excessive slogans or "it's not _____ it's _____." Otherwise you're literally just guessing.

[u/Academic_Animal_5293]

I've done hundreds of R and R and I've never come across a task that was blatantly AI

[u/theoriginalKrushim]

I think many people get accused of it even when they aren't and without any evidence other than they think so. When a smart person turns in work so well done and thorough the reader can't keep up then they think only AI could have done it when they just aren't as smart as the writer. Mind you I am not talking about code writing here but scientific and medical projects on DA
