Una mala opinión

Acudí a una IA para averiguar si era capaz de distinguir un texto mío de otro de un robot y acabé preguntándome si no sería yo el robot

Una mala opinión

This summer, I subscribed to an artificial intelligence service that claimed to detect texts written by itself. To test its accuracy, I provided it with some original pieces of mine. Within seconds, the machine confidently declared that all the texts were generated entirely by an AI. Struck by this diagnosis, I asked how it could be so presumptuous.

The service replied that my writing was too clean, coherent, and well-structured. Afraid of being misinformed, the confusion set in. I then recalled the Voight-Kampff test from the movie Blade Runner, where potential replicants were subjected to situations designed to elicit emotional responses. Meanwhile, a machine monitored their pupils, breath, perspiration, and involuntary reactions.

The unsettling aspect of this test was that the subject could be convinced of their humanity at the beginning and end the session with reasonable doubts about their true nature.
