I saw your ask. I grade English papers and it’s very obvious if you use chatgpt. I saw the comments on that fic before she deleted them and saw ss on a private jjk discord because this was a problem in many fandoms with people using ai to write fics and it was just straight up copying other people’s work on ao3. She even left in something like “here’s your rewritten version with better flow” in her chapter before she edited it, and Nobara was written as Alex or something. She copy pasted the same paragraph a few times in different ways with switched styles, and they all had the same starting phrases and descriptions of scenery and smell that chatgpt commonly uses, also the structure. The punctuation with the dashes are very obvious and someone checked it and got the same style. Someone also put her work in a plagiarism generator from a college grading system and it showed highlighted parts that were ai generated. She kept lying and fighting, blocking people who warned her to post original work but didn’t admit to it and that’s why it was so bad. 

yikes 😬 i went through their comment section since some of mutuals also talked about, (how do i say this) weirdly written the story was and could only find "previous comment deleted" ones (with some additional other's asking her whether she used AI or not that she hasn't answered/deleted yet) and it's like how u said, they seem to either delete, or get defensive whenever someone mentions/asks them if they use AI to write their story.

i don't know if anon will see my answer on their tl but if you do, I'd like to see some of the screenshoots (if there are any on the jjk private discord or an old screenshot of the story's chapter) if you don't mind of course!

If you want to learn Chinese, DuoLingo is a great start. However, I found a similar program that just focuses on Mandarin, and it's called HelloChinese. It has stories you can read, teacher lectures, grammar guides, hanzi practice, and very relevant topics. Another good one is SuperChinese, DuChinese, and Pleco.

Also, DeepSeek is an actually good AI tool. I only use it if I need help stringing my thoughts together on a topic I know about, but need to frame it in a palatable way. I've only used it twice, but was able to relay information to my friends in better way.

Time to go to bed. ❤️🇨🇳❤️

It will be easier for me to change my iPad’s Home Screen wallpaper once Attack On Titan is officially over. As for my iPhone’s Lock Screen wallpaper, I’m not sure how the Writers/Actors Strikes have affected the scheduled production of TLOVM’s 3rd Season. Those wallpapers haven’t been changed in months for this year alone since February & March.

I refuse to use it to avoid doing something myself. Though I have to say that I have a really bad logic in terms of mathematics, so what I do sometimes is explain to Chatgpt what kind of problem I'm trying to solve and to dumb it down for me. But I never ask it to solve it for me !! Only explain the logics, then I try to do it myself and I'll write what I've learned in my notebook. I have to admit... he's been a very good teacher as far as I'm concerned, in the context of my own use of it.

Didn't reblog that one "wait you guys actually use chatgpt" post but the one reply where someone said they use it to do math is insane to me, we already have an AI that does math for you it's called a calculator and it's been around for decades

My students are being weirdly considerate, they are being rash enough to submit AI projects with bullshit quotations and references that make it very easy for me to prove it's not their work.

a significant portion of bad AI discourse happens because people are not sufficiently rigorous in disambiguating "AI", the cultural object into which the bourgeoisie have deposited all their hopes and dreams for a world where they no longer depend upon the proletariat, and which mostly serves the practical purpose of driving investment, with Neural Networks/Large Language Models, the technologies that exist in real life with actual use cases and actual limitations--or indeed in realizing that such a disambiguation is necessary

i suspect that a huge factor in the defense of students using gen ai (and academic dishonesty in general tbh) comes from the fundamental misunderstanding of how school works.

to simplify thousands of educator's theories into the simplest terms, there are two types of stuff you're learning in school: content and skills. content is what we often think of as the material in school- spelling, times tables, names, dates, facts, etc.- whereas skills are usually more subtle. think phonics, mental math, reading comprehension, comparing and contrasting; though students do those things often, the how usually isn't deemed as important as the what.

this leads to a disconnect that's most obvious when students ask the infamous "when will we use this in the real world?" they have- often correctly- identified content that the content is niche, outdated, or not optimized but haven't considered the skills that this class/lesson/assignment will teach.

i can think of two shining examples from when i was a kid. one was in middle school when they announced that we were now gonna be studying latin, and we all wondered why on earth they would choose latin as our foreign language. every adult promised us it'd be helpful if we went into medicine, law, or religion (ignoring that most of us didn't want to go into medicine, law, or religion), but we didn't buy that and never took it seriously. the truth was that our new principal knew that learning languages gets harder as you get older, and so building the skills of learning a language while it was easy for us was more important than which language we learned, and that's an answer twelve year old me would've actually respected.

similarly, my geometry class all hated proofs. we couldn't think of a single situation where you'd have to convince someone a triangle was a triangle and "look at it, of course it's a triangle" wouldn't be an acceptable answer. it was actually the band director who pointed out that it wasn't literally about triangles; it was about being able to prove or disprove something, anything using facts.

and so, so, so many assignments that are annoying as hell in school make more sense when you think about the skills as well as the content. "why do i have to present information about something the teacher obviously already knows about?" because research, verifying sources, summarizing, and public speaking are all really important skills. "why does this have to be a group project?" because you will have to work with other people in your life, and learning how to be a team player (and deal with people who aren't) is an essential skill. "why do we have to read these scientific articles and learn about graphs?" because if you can understand them, people can't lie to you about them.

now, of course, there's a lot we could do better- especially we as in the american school system. the reason i have an education minor but am not teaching is because of those issues. there are plenty of assignments that are busywork and teachers that are assholes and ways that the system is failing us.

but that doesn't mean you should cut off your nose to spite your face!

the ability to learn and grow and think critically is one of our most powerful tools as people. our brains are capable of incredible things! however, the same way you can't lift a car unless you consistently lift and build up to that, your brain needs to train in order to do its best.

so yeah, maybe chatgpt can write a five paragraph essay for you on the differences between thomas jefferson and alexander hamilton's governing philosophies. and maybe it won't even fuck it up! congratulations, you got away with it. but by outright refusing to use your brain and practice these skills, who have you helped? you haven't learned anything. worse, you haven't even learned how to learn.

Literally came here from aleks' blog because helloooo fellow turkish girly nasılsınnn

OMG HIIII 🥹 biraz hasta oluyorum gibi ama iyiyim, sen nasılsın!!!

one of those things you really gotta learn is that it's insanely easy to get people to get mad at anything if you just phrase it the right way. slap the word "woke" on anything you want conservatives to hate. call something "extremism" or "radical" to get a centrist to fear it. say that a particular take "comes from a position of privilege" to get leftists to denounce it (that's right, even us leftists are susceptible to propaganda that uses leftist language). all these are simplistic examples of course, but it's all to say that certain terms, slogans, and phrases just kind of turn off people's critical thinking, especially ones with negative connotation. there are so many words that are just shorthand for "bad." once a term reaches buzzword status, it becomes practically useless.

it goes for general attitudes too. "this piece of news is a sign that the world is getting worse" is a shockingly easy idea to sell, even when the "piece of news" in question is completely fabricated. I'll often see leftists uncritically sharing right wing propaganda that rides on the back of the "humans bad, nature good" cliche, or the "US education system bad" cliche, or even the current "AI bad" cliche. most of the details of a given post will go entirely unquestioned as long as they support whatever attitude is most popular right now. and none of us is immune to this.

(the funny thing is that I'm kind of playing with fire here even making this post. folks are so used to just reacting to shit that I have no way of predicting which buzzword I included here will trigger a negative association in someone's mind and convince them I'm taking some random antagonistic stance on a topic that they've been really fired up about lately.)

spudsy’s shifts and dumbass rabbits (jax x reader)

i watched episode 4 and couldn’t resist writing this lil silly fic because i hate jax <3

you swear you’re gonna kill him.  

you don’t even care what happens after that, Caine can throw you in the void or force you into a therapy session with him, or whatever horrifying punishment his ai brain comes up with. it’d be worth it. it’d be so worth it if it meant shutting Jax up for five goddamn minutes. 

he’s been sitting at the counter, feet kicked up onto the register looking like he’s on fucking vacation, while you scramble around Spudsy’s kitchen. the fryer’s spitting oil, the soda machine’s doing that weird gurgling thing again

and Jax does nothing all shift except make snide comments about your “technique”, pretending to be Gordon Ramsay trapped in a rabbit’s body.  

“you’re gonna burn them,” he drawls, spinning one of the ketchup bottles like it’s a fidget toy, watching you flipping the fries.

you slam the fryer basket down harder than necessary and whirl around to glare at him. “maybe if you got off your lazy ass and helped, they’d come out looking better.”  

Jax snickers, tilting his head back to look at you upside-down. his ears flop over the back of the chair, and he grins widely. “nah, why would I do that when you’re doing such a great job on your own?”  

“Jax, I swear to #@?!—”  

“language, language!” he interrupts, wagging a finger at you. “what would Caine think if he heard you talking like that?”  

you grab the nearest ketchup bottle and launch it at him. and honestly, it’s more satisfying than it should be when it hits him square in the chest, splattering his black uniform with bright red.  

“oh, wow.” he looks down at the mess and then up at you, opening his eyes wide in fake surprise. “was that supposed to hurt my feelings? because it’s just pathetic, sweetie, really.”  

“pathetic?!” you’re halfway across the counter before you even realise what you’re doing, hands grabbing at his stupid clothes to yank him closer, practically face to face, however this damn bastard is taller than you, but you don’t back down.

Jax doesn’t fight it. in fact, he leans into it, daring you to say something else.

his stupid sharp smile only growing wider. “aww, isn’t it romantic. you’re starting to sound so obsessed with me, sweetheart.”

“obsessed with killing you, maybe.” your grip tightens on his shirt. Jax’s smile fades for a moment and his ears twitch what makes you think he might actually shut up.  

but no. of course not.  

“if i knew getting you riled up was this easy, I’d’ve started weeks ago,” his tone is so insufferably casual that you’re losing your temper.

you shove him back, harder than you meant to and he stumbles, nearly tripping over the chair he’s been lounging in all shift. you expect him to snap at you or at least throw some sarcastic quip your way, but instead—  

he laughs.

it throws you off just long enough for him to close the distance between you, his hands catching yours before you can storm off.  

“hey, you’ve got a little ketchup—” Jax swipes a gloved finger across your cheek, smudging red sauce where there definitely wasn’t any before “—right there.”  

you glare at him, opening your mouth to yell, but before you can say anything, he leans down and—  

oh.

it’s quick. as if he’s testing the waters, but the kiss leaves you frozen in place. his grin is back in full force when he pulls away, his eyes half-lidded. you stand there, dumbfounded, looking at his infuriatingly pleased face. the fryer beeps in the background and the soda machine gurgles again.

“there. now we’re even,” he says, stepping back and slipping out of your reach before you can punch him in the face.  

“you’re such a—”  

“Jax! y/n! get back to work!” Gangle's voice sounds.

you fucking hate him. probably.
