OpenAI confirms that AI writing detectors don’t work

We need to embrace AI written content fully. Language is just a protocol for communication. If AI can flesh out the "packets" for us nicely in a way that fits what the receiving humans need to understand the communication then that's a major win. Now I can ask AI to write me a nice letter and prompt it with a short bulleted list of what I want to say. Boom! Done, and time is saved.

The professional writers who used to slave over a blank Word document are now obsolete, just like the slide rule "computers" of old (the people who could solve complicated mathematics and engineering problems on paper).

Teachers who thought a hand written report could be used to prove that "education" has happened are now realizing that the idea was a crutch (it was 25 years ago too when we could copy/paste Microsoft Encarta articles and use as our research papers).

The technology really just shows us that our language capabilities really are just a means to an end. If a better means asrises we should figure out how to maximize it.
