AI detectors are inaccurate garbage and useless – Therefore, this post is useless.

oh my, the irony of using flawed AI detection (and other flawed AI processes) to determine how much of Reddit is AI.
we all AI now.
charmio68 on
Reddit is also heavily used as a source for AIs.
So it’s one big circlejerk of AIs trying to manipulate money out of people however possible.

You can clearly feel that some subs have shifted towards AI-written content. I have unsubscribed quite a few in the last year because of that and lack of moderation.
miguelcmps on
Sure but I keep finding texts per-2018 that are „written by AI“
Detectors suck

So many seemingly fake stories on aitah and similar sub reddits, have to believe it’s more than 3%
rynebrandon on
I wrote a detailed post back in December and by far the most common sentiment was that it was written by AI. I have no doubt a substantial amount of material on Reddit is written by AI and I have nothing but doubts that we can track it accurately.

How is this determined which is written by AI and which is not?

> I scored 20,000 long-form posts with an AI detector
Yeah, those AI detector are garbage.

The most this would confirm is that technical posts are more likely to be flagged as AI generated.

We need more posts about why data centers are awesome to go with this

I think r/coolguides is practically all AI at this point I was surprised it’s not on the list. But I guess it’s mostly pictures rather than words so it may be harder to detect

Images dont work I guess, because I am so tired of the same video being reposted on every damnthatsinteresting alike community, now and when repost time comes in the future.
Easiest way to farm karma.

I’m a mod of [r/howislivingthere](r/howislivingthere) and subjectively I think we are doing way better than the subs you mentioned in your graphic. Can you somehow look it up?

I am not aware of any AI writing detection system which is accurate or reliable. Not even sure if it’s mathematically possible for there to be one.

To be clear, you’ve just exposed what most people would never conceive — it’s not just AI slop, it’s a new era of digital communication. 😄

While i dont doubt theres a lot of AI content there is no real reliable way to detect AI written content. So this is made up data
Thaonnor on
AI detectors are generally not that accurate. Something else I’d call out is that „AI written“ does not necessarily mean that a human isn’t behind the content. Many people use AI to polish their posts, while writing the actual ideas and content themselves.
That being said, wouldn’t surprise me if that 41% in CryptoCurrency are actual bots.

I would not trust this data at all.
I’m a lawyer who tends to write structured paragraphs by default. I went back and put about 10 of my work emails from pre-LLM times into WasItAIGenerated and other sites. The results were consistently between 60% and 80% AI generated.
Draw your own conclusions.

I heavily doubt tot is so low for AITA

AITAH only 3.6%? I find it hard to believe.

I want to see LinkedIn next. My bet is above 80%.

Crypto is one big scam, so I’m not surprised
Adze95 on
Coincidentally I have all of these subs muted already.
_RHodeidra_ on
Can somebody double check this? So I can mute the top10 ( at least )
pickettfury on
Unrelated, but I wish that before people submitted thier AI responses that they would ask it to make their comments more concise. Seeing mini essays that don’t say much isnt great.

We need this in election season.

You can spot all the garbage popular subs in this list (all non-AI /non-business related). Surprised that r/teenagers didn’t make this list.
ItsMeishi on
So to see if it was AI, they fed the posts to AI.
izzyfoshiz on
Surprised r/conservative isn’t on this list. It is full of bots though, so I guess thats different.
spunkychickpea on
It’s hilarious that r/writing is so high on this list. I mean, what’s the justification for that shit? “I’m gonna become a better writer by writing less.” Absolutely pathetic.
CrazyCoKids on
That little of r/unpopularopinion and r/writing are AI?
DamnOdd on
I think AITAH should be higher up and they just repost from AmItheAsshole which just reposts the stuff AITAH posts.

Ai detectors factor in things like subject matter.
