> Who said anything about rewriting? That's not necessary. You can have GPT write your essay and all you do is study it afterwards, maybe ask questions etc. You've saved hours of time and yes that would still be cheating and plagiarism by most.
Maybe. But I think we are getting too deep into hypotheticals about stuff that wasn’t even related to my original point.
> The article is about piping essays into black box neural networks that you can at best hypothesize is looking for similarities between the presented writing and some nebulous "AI" style. It's not comparing styles between your past works and telling you just cheated because of some deviation. That's never going to happen.
You cannot postulate your own hypothetical scenarios and deny other people the same privilege. That’s just not an honest way to debate.
> My point is that it's not this huge effort to have generated writing that doesn't yo-yo in writing style between essays.
I get your point. It’s just your point requires a bunch of assumptions and hypotheticals to work.
In theory you’re right. But, and at risk of continually harping on about my original point, I think the effort involved in doing it well would be beyond the effort required for the average person looking to cheat.
And that’s the real crux of it. Not whether something can be done, because hypothetically speaking anything is possible in AI with sufficient time, money and effort. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually going to happen.
But since this entire argument is a hypothetical, it’s probably better we agree to disagree.
