Back in college over a decade ago they had threatened us that they could detect when students copied work from each other and other sources, the consequences ranging from failing that assignment to expulsion.

So under one dire circumstance, I switched sentences around even at the expense of grammar. Getting points marked off for grammatical issues was a lower consequence.

I've never worked for less than six figures a day out of college.

I think the same techniques would work against this state-of-the-art defense a decade later. Introduce intentional grammatical errors and inconsistency and it will think it is written by a human which passes that test.




I think this is done systematically in Reddit, for example, where typos are inserted in reposts to bypass detection. A lot of the frontpage is riddled with creative typos and grammatical errors.


I had a voicemail last week that had a lot of "ums" and "ahs" in it. It wasn't immediately clear that it was a robo-call, and then it became a lot more interesting because I could tell it was computer generated woman's voice.

They're getting better.


Did you ever try doing your own work in university?


Diversity is important because Grover anti-fake news Neural Network would have never reared its head to the public if they had some people who also skirted through university undetected merely point out "hey you can trick this thing"


If you cheat in school then I expect you to cheat in your professional work too. Diversity is a moot if I can’t trust you.


Cheating in school means using external resources to solve a problem.

Cheating in professional work means not using external resources to solve this problem, wasting the companies time reinventing the wheel.

I'm an evolutionary adaptation and very competitive in the work force. I also didn't fail at obtaining the prerequisites to enter.
