I am fortunate my children are grown. Things weren't smooth for them, but this is one thing they didn't have to contend with.

@alice@lgbtqia.space I completely agree, and would have at least one phone recording and uploading when I open the door -- sooner rather than later.

If someone said that to my child, I'd ask if the "AI detector" was an LLM -- because this sounds like the teacher accusing the kid of doing exactly what the teacher is doing.

Across time and culture the notion for what is "real" poetry have changed. I studied Old English (Anglo-Saxon) a bit for a while, and learned they didn't care for rhyme between lines, but wanted a pattern of alliteration within lines; Viking poets were expected to be able to create a poem to honor a person or commemorate an occasion *on the spot* (with rules that included having different meter from line to line -- iambic pentameter was considered boring, because it was just normal speaking pattern).
I'm guessing that what makes your poems good is the time and thought you put in to choosing the right words and best ways to say something. If you spent the same effort alphabetizing the lines, or alliterating words in the lines, or any other poetry rules from other places or time, you would still get quality -- just a different quality.

... but if you don't think you can be a writer, but you want to be (and if you believe LLMs can 'write' without understanding the meaning of the words they spit out), then it makes sense.
LLMs 'help' people who are lacking confidence, but by giving them false confidence. Short cuts can be like that.

Not just infrastructure, but a lot of equipment. I once had to clean up a lab where testers were infected (via a windows shared drive), and another time where oscilloscopes were infected (via thumb drives).

If someone has a hard time doing this, they might consider that without specifying their pronouns we must use "they/them", since they are a person of unknown gender ...
Pop up I'm tired of seeing:
"
Your Privacy is important to us!
May we take it from you?
**YES** no
"
I suspect when they say "important to us" they don't mean what they want you to think they mean.

There is also sticking with the same job, but never seeing the reward for good decisions:
I can remember being told of more than one project that I was wasting time during the year I worked on it -- but when future benefits showed up "that's old stuff, you can't count that".

For me, a poem is not about separate lines
nor perfect rhymes.
It's about capturing truth in metaphor that can't be captured in a net of facts.
But that's me, I'm guessing there are thousands of ways of seeing this.

Actually, banning could work:
Ban all users harmed by Meta from using Meta. Enforce this by block all incoming connections to Meta.
Repeat for Google, Amazon, ...
Remove (on a trial basis) the blocks when the relevant company can demonstrate in a small experiment that their behavior is not harmful.

They responded when I expressed dismay:
Me:
"""
Thank-you for your reply, but I admit I find the response disturbing.
I expect a poll of your users will show that this decreases trust in your applications for multiple reasons. In addition, it has been shown that LLMs are environmentally harmful. Please pass the message along to management that users do not support this.
"""
a different person on their end:
"""
Thank you for reaching back.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns, including your thoughts on trust and environmental impact. I will make sure your feedback is passed along to our management team so they are aware of your perspective.

I know this idea goes against of recycling wisdom, but combining something like this with simply burying the plastic generated would be a form of carbon storage that has the potential to actually *store* the carbon.
Capturing CO2 and putting it into soda (as an example) is actually just carbon postponement, as are some of the other proposals.
You would still want to know things like "what does this do to our ground water," and "what are the side effects of this plastic generation" -- but in a sense, this is C02 back to buried oil.

If you press the button, it will make the cars stop. That might sound very sensible to some people, but to overly nice people it sounds rude. Rather than being rude to the cars, we are inclined to risk life and limb in the way you describe.

These ideas probably apply even if you were well taught reading (and had the brain to do that ... some brains really are not designed for picking up strings of symbols off a page and making sense of them). I can imagine that I should listen to what I read more often, even though I love to read (actually, I compulsively read, but I do enjoy it).

Martin Gardener, in one episode of Mathematical Games, made a perpetually motion machine with a column of "up" going up to a pully (which could turn a generator). There it turned to a column of "dn" going down to another pully, to turn around again to become the column of "up"
