Is this how you defeat AI detection? I.e. Generate a report, then manually introduce spelling and/or grammatical errors?

> Digital distribution and lock-in are a disaster for historical preservation.

Agreed. This reality slapped me in the face quite hard after I was given an ipad 2 (circa 2011). I figured I'd use it as a couch-side device for spotify. Soon realized nothing worked on it, even with old version apps loaded. Server side shut it down.

Perhaps. But what I described benefits the institutions as well, no?

> That’s also why it takes 2 days to send money to people, in an era of instant communication.

I always assumed anti-fraud had something to do with it. Give the victims time to notice and the institutions the ability to reverse transactions without loss

I've been told that many players buy counterfeits specifically for old school tournaments so they don't put their very expensive pieces at risk to theft or damage. I can't verify this, but it makes a lot of sense to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know. I heard this narrative a lot more during the trump era, and I rarely hear it now. I have a pet theory that it comes up in popular Canadian culture when a republican is in office and dies down when a democrat is there.

Thanks! So is patching this as simple as not allowing the entire space of X for user prompt? i.e. guaranteeing some amount of X for model owner's instructions

> because all the rules have been pushed out.

Can you unpack this a little please? Is it possible to ELI5 the mechanisms involved that can "push" a rule set out? I would have assumed the rules apply globally/uniformly across the entire prompt

True, but there's a vast time and skill delta in making professional looking menu pics and simply snapping reference photos.

In general or for this specific application (linking primary sources)?

Agreed except ChatGPT (3.5 at least, haven't tried 4) is unable to provide primary sources for its results. At least when I tried, it just provided hallucinated urls
