Today, we're launching AI Vision.

The first AI slop detector that exposes content as you scroll.

[Shishir @shishirmehrotra]

@Superhuman has agreed to acquire @GPTZeroAI. As AI content becomes the norm, the value of knowing where it comes from only goes up. That belief is what led @edward_the6 and @alexcdot to build GPTZero, and it's what’s leading us to acquire them.

Together we're building the authenticity layer the internet is missing. More to share soon. https://t.co/ljPeDSpMTP

[Edward Tian @edward_the6]

Today, we announced that GPTZero is joining Superhuman.

We founded GPTZero with the goal of preserving what’s human on the internet and we’re excited to take that even further with this partnership.

Together, we’re building an authenticity layer that travels with you, wherever you read, write, and create.

[Alex Cui @alexcdot]

If you’ve been writing with AI agents, stop what you’re doing right now.

@KPMG just retracted a report after it was exposed by @FT and @GPTZeroAI for being largely hallucinated by AI.

Over 15 hallucinated claims, including one that implies that the Japanese are capable of time travel.

You can't make this stuff up. (AIs can) 🧵

Social adaptation is an underrated part of how we will respond to a flood of AI-generated content online.

Since reliably labeling AI-generated content is hard, many people will start to assume everything they see online is AI-generated and untrustworthy.*

Tools that can verify content as real or human-generated will become more important. Some examples I like are:

1. @edward_the6 and @GPTZeroAI offer a product called Origin that records edits to a Google Doc (verifying it's human-written)

2. CA AB 853 requires device manufacturers to allow users to add watermarks to images captured on the device (verifying it's human-captured)

*It's important to remember that whether something is trustworthy is not the same as whether it's human generated, though AI-generated content is less likely to be trustworthy.

[Alex Cui @alexcdot]

Wild, I didn’t expect @FT was going to cover us and make our @eynews investigation go viral.

One small step for @GPTZeroAI, one big step for humanity!

[Alex Cui @alexcdot]

It sounds like someone at @EYnews needs to get fired 😰

We found a 44 page report by EY where 60% of the citations were AI hallucinations.

Those fabricated claims were plagiarized from ANOTHER report by some web3 company 🤡

And now, ChatGPT cites that EY report like its gospel. We are all so so screwed.

How does a firm that makes $53 billion/year 💸 get away with this??

👇 Here’s how

[Edward Tian @edward_the6]

@geerlingguy Jeff, let me know if our AI vision extension works as a solution, happy to chat more!

[Alex Cui @alexcdot]

I spotted some interesting results too!

To be fair to @max_spero_, there is something wrong with this answer, we don’t rely on perplexity and burstiness anymore

[Liz Dorman @lizwandersworld]

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding.

We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style.

We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today.

Welcome to the new Era.

Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.

Growth Memo analyzed 21,000 ChatGPT citations across 7 industries.

Here’s what he found (be scared)…

> 30 domains own 67% of all AI citations in any given topic.
> Pages ranking #1 on Google get cited by ChatGPT 3.5x more.
> 10K word articles nearly double citation rates from 5K words.
> 85% of all pages ChatGPT retrieves never get cited at all.

In other words…

LLMs don’t care about VALID, ACCURATE data.

They care about SOCIAL RANK.

And it’s contaminating the internet as fast as people’s minds.

Human writing is evidence of human THINKING

Readers can tell if you grappled with a thought by the way it’s formulated

If there’s a scent of LLM, the foundation of your idea is based on that

It literally makes me want to grow white hair just so I can rip it out of my own skull.

[Edward Tian @edward_the6]

Who's gonna tell him🥀🥀

[George Pu @TheGeorgePu]

Hired a writer to help with my blog.

Read one of the posts back
and it wasn't me.

Not bad. Just not mine.

Back to writing everything myself.

Slower. But honest.

[Edward Tian @edward_the6]

@TheGeorgePu there's NO WAY you wrote this hahahhahah

[Edward Tian @edward_the6]

@timothylindblom who gave the monkeys an AK

[Edward Tian @edward_the6]

The highest leverage skill in the world is thinking.

It can get you anywhere in life.

Outsourcing it to a bot isn't "thinking outside the box"

Even if it makes you wealthy.

You'll just be a rich person with no functional brain.

[Edward Tian @edward_the6]

A mistake people often make is assuming AI detection means anti-student or anti-progress.

I am hugely pro-student and pro-progress.

But I believe the path AI is currently on can be negative.

Primarily in education & science.

@unusual_whales then why are they still homeless?
