I stopped drinking coffee for four or five years. I drank a lot before. You do realise that it has a strong psychoactive effect, at least it did for me.

I still don't drink coffee, but I started experimenting with paraxanthine and I absolutely love it (paraxanthine is the primary metabolite of caffeine and is also a stimulant). I feel like it gives me most of the benefit of caffeine with very few downsides (no jitters, no crash, exits your system faster).

Oh the irony, I also felt that way when I started reading it. It borders on being hypocrisy given the topic of the article.

Even if it was close to being near perfect, that is still not enough due to the negative impact of false positive detections on students.

That's where the humanizers come in. These are solutions that take LLM generated text and make it sound human written to avoid detection.

The principle of training them is quite simple. Take an LLM and reward it for revising text so that it doesn't get detected. Reinforcement learning takes care of the rest for you.

Why do the news need to make everything sound sensational. Let's move on.

You would think that Springer did the due diligence here, but what is the value of a brand such as Springer if they let these AI slops through their cracks?

This is an opportunity for brands to sell verifiability, i.e., that the content they are selling has been properly vetted, which was obviously not the case here.
