Correct. They sounded like human. The pacing was natural, it was real time, no lag. It felt human for the most part. There was even a background noise, which made it feel authentic.

EDIT: I'm almost tempted to go back and respond to that email now. Just out of curiosity, to see how soon I'll see a human.

Truly bizarre. Thanks for sharing.

As a general rule I always do these talks with camera on; more reason to start doing it now if you're not. But I'm sure even that will eventually (sooner rather than later) be spoofed by AI as well.

What an awful time.

Suppose an agent gets funded some crypto, what's stopping it from hiring spooky services through something like silk road?

Good. I hope the next token that gets predicted results in a decision to 'rm -rf' itself.

Great scifi material right there: in the future people will pray not for miracles but for a miraculous `rm -rf /` from their overlords.

I'm not sure how related this is, but I feel like it is.

I received a couple of emails for Ruby on Rails position, so I ignored the emails.

Yesterday out of nowhere I received a call from an HR, we discussed a few standard things but they didn't had the specific information about company or the budget. They told me to respond back to email.

Something didn't feel right, so I asked after gathering courage "Are you an AI agent?", and the answer was yes.

Now I wasn't looking for a job, but I would imagine, most people would not notice it. It was so realistic. Surely, there needs to be some guardrails.

Edit: Typo

Wait, you were _talking_ to an HR AI agent?

Have you ever met human beings that constantly reuse a certain idiom/figure of speech/linguistic pattern?

The valley girl using "like" every other word, for example?

Or I had a colleague who would use the expression "we can say" (in French, because we were speaking in French) basically every couple sentences for a bit.

Humans also repeat speech/linguistic patterns, therefore "repetition of the same pattern" is not sufficient to mark text as produced by AI :)

Yes but there are a lot more "idiom personalities" in humans (you just mentioned several) than there is in AI. Basically every English-language interaction with AI anywhere in the world produces more or less the same argot and style. Its like (heh) we're all talking to the same valley girl stereotype.

The flaw in trying to detect AI by its use of particular idioms is that it would have learned these idioms from its training corpus, which consists of writings from actual human beings.

In other words, some people actually write like this.

You're absolutely right!

I have a friend that has used ems all his professional life and is livid that they're now a telltale for AI. So yeah, false positives.

Fun read but I stopped after detecting AI:

"The young blood doesn’t add youth. It removes age."

"Feeding isn’t nutrition. It’s dialysis."

Etc. Why is LLM so enamored with the "Its not x, its Y" idiom? Its so ridiculously overused its almost comical

What is this 'railway'?

I am assuming that a domain like railway.com should be about trains.

Why does every tech company have to name themselves as a one word .com website and what they do is unrelated and vague to their own name?

Does every tech company think they are Apple and have to register every word in the dictionary and redefine it as a technology company?

Really bad name for a company.

A lot of companies have been doing that for a long time

Lotus

Jaguar

Caterpillar

Shell

its a human thing
