In response to his post about the squeak of sphincters.
1. I was getting an exam at a urologist's office where one of the nurses actually used the word sphincter, and I, fully conscious, said something funny that got them all laughing, basically that you never hear the word sphincter used as a real thing. Thought i should mention that.
2. Why do you care about what words the AI bot chooses? I actually like it. This is what I don't like -- people getting a long bit of writing from the bot, and then pasting it into a comment thread in a GitHub repo I run (a recent trend). Geez I don't even read the long bullshit posts my AI bot thinks I need to read, how humiliating to be asked to care what THEIR bot said. When a person puts their name on something, I assume it's them writing it.
Doc, if you "wrote" something and I discovered it was written by a bot, I would be disgusted and think less of you, a lot less. I want the watermarking if only to prove that my writing, which I hope doesn't get a false positive, are my actual words.
I'm sure plenty of teachers think the watermarking is a great idea.
And sphincters everywhere just want a little respect, and a little love wouldn't hurt either? As an adult do you know where your sphincter is? Or even what it's for?? And btw, did you know they don't actually squeak since they're made of meat, and meat don't squeak. ;-)
