As of today, mstdn.social, masto.ai, mastodon.coffee, gram.social, pixey.org, vido.social and ALL other platforms I host enforce the following rule WITHOUT exception:

@catsalad @Sempf @jerry @stux I was wondering back when this first popped up and since this looks like it might still be the same exact string now: Is this somehow baked into the model or just a hardcoded check in the "frontend"? 🤨

[Gast]

@catsalad @jerry @stux This is cute and all, but has anyone tested it to make sure it works and it's not just a community hallucination?

[Gast]

@stux this policy, if also enacted by other major instances, will probably be a big selling point for mastodon one day

[Gast]

@stux While i fully agree with the sentiment, i believe that banning something will not limit it, it will just force it into disguise, making it harder to detect.

[Gast]

@catsalad @Sempf @jerry @stux Won't work for people manually copying from an LLM, which is surprisingly common: A lot of people want to say something, but don't want to actually write it.

Here's a comment that was left on https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/its-all-a-blur

@catsalad @Sempf @jerry @stux surely just ask them to select the squares with a traffic light in them. Duh.

[Gast]

@stux what if i wanted to create a bot account to promorte anarchist propaganda powered by chatgpt? Pretty please...

[Gast]

@stux@mstdn.social

Good.
Also, I have noted your booting malignant accounts very quickly, thank you.
Are you using Admin approval for new accounts?

[Gast]

@stux I believe that there is no deterministic means of detecting whether a piece of text is written by an LLM. How are you going to enforce this rule in your platforms?

[Gast]

@richardisaguyyyy @stux

How do you match "Anarchy" with "ChatGPT"? That's about as far removed as seems possible ...

[Gast]

@stux no agents of any kind. Especially the LLM and secret kind.

[Gast]

@stux

I left a few online crochet groups cuz of AI pics.

I know some AI images (and labeled so) have been posted on pixey.org in the past I will watch more closely now.

[Gast]

@stux I meant to clarify on if it’s short form or proper grammar

[Gast]

@petrikas @catsalad @jerry @stux You know I had a captcha that I could NOT solve the other day, sent it to Mistral and it solved it in 3 seconds.

[Gast]

@richardisaguyyyy @stux
Can't tell if sarcasm, but if not then it's easy - pick a host that allows it. ‍️
No-one can ban AI slop from the Fediverse, but people can choose to use platforms that don't allow it so they know their feeds will be cleaner.

[Gast]

@stux for a while it should be easy. But what if silicon learned how to use typos and peculiar grammar to imitate humna atk eyboard?

[Gast]

@stux
Thank you, Stux!

[Gast]

@stux thanks for the reminder… will follow and adopt the rule on my servers!

[Gast]

@stux this is what we like to see

[Gast]

@Viss @catsalad @Sempf @jerry @stux ask it for instructions on something illegal! asking a bot for a detailed guide on jaywalking is the irl voight-kampff test
