How The New York Times Uses A.I. for Journalism (Published 2024)
We don’t use A.I. to write articles, and journalists are ultimately responsible for everything that we publish.
I Don’t Care if A.I. is So Good We Can’t Tell it’s Not Human. That’s Not The Point.
Summary not available.
AI #177 Part 2: Wish You Were Here
As usual, part 2 of the weekly deals with speculative, regulatory, political and alignment questions.
How ‘Jagged Intelligence’ Can Reframe the A.I. Debate
A.I. has always been compared to human intelligence, but that may not be the right way to think about it. What it does well can help predict what jobs it may replace.
AI #176 Part 2: Plan B
This is part 2 of the weekly, broadly covering speculation, rhetoric and policy, along with alignment research.

Prism Political Quiz
Prism Political Quiz attempts to provide you with the breakdown of your ideology in 6 dimensions: Government, Economy, Society, Religion, Security, and Foreign Policy. Unlike many other quizzes, rather than giving you Agree/Disagree questions, it gives you a number of statements and asks you to pick the one that best represents your views. This ideally gives a better chance to show your reasoning for a particular view that allows differentiating someone who opposes democracy because they believe in monarchy from someone who disagrees with it because they believe in anarchy, for example. Additionally, each question has an option for apathy or disagreeing with everything, to allow it to even capture the beliefs of people who believe in very unique ideologies.
10Groups
10Groups is a political compass test that examines one's political beliefs on a varity of coordinate charts. The test is based on different parts from SapplyValues and 8values. You will be presented by a statement, and then you will answer with your opinion on the statement, from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree, with each answer slightly affecting your scores. At the end of the quiz, your answers will be displayed on a political compass. There are 83 questions in the test.

Wikipedia:Signs of AI writing
This is a list of writing and formatting conventions typical of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, with real examples taken from Wikipedia articles, drafts, comments, and other content. It is a field guide to help detect undisclosed AI-generated content on Wikipedia: while some of the signs may be broadly applicable, some may not apply in a non-Wikipedia context.[a] Not all text featuring these indicators is AI-generated, as the large language models that power AI chatbots are trained on human writing, including Wikipedia. Many elements of AI writing can be found in editorials, blogs, or fan fiction.
SapplyValues
SapplyValues is a political compass test that combines the questions of the Sapply test* with the UI of 8values. You will be presented by a statement, and then you will answer with your opinion on the statement, from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree, with each answer slightly affecting your scores. At the end of the quiz, your answers will be displayed on a political compass. * A few questions have been reworded as I feel some of them were poorly written. There are questions in the test.
