How does an AI create texts?
Through Notion, I stumbled upon the AI Notion, which formulates texts based on prompts. I don't think this feature is a bad idea when you're suffering from writer's block, as it can provide inspiration. It's been helpful for me as a little reminder from time to time. The question I'm asking myself is, how does the AI generate this? Is plagiarism being generated here?
Not really, or would this already be an extremely broad definition of plagiarism. Actually, the original training data are no longer comprehensible and my attempts even in very, very special requests never happen to recognize the possible training data (except in self-made systems, which do not approach the large models such as GPT-4). Such a generative AI calculates – extremely roughly – probabilities that a certain word/scatter fragment comes to a certain other. However, you usually also vary, i.e. you usually get different answers to the same prompt.
At the moment, for example, ChatGPT texts can often be recognized by ChatGPT having a certain “style”. But this will also be blurred with time.
Is definitely an exciting question how to deal with it in the future. Where is the border between legitimate support of man through a tool and no longer acceptable removal of work to the machine? Or doesn’t it matter?
