New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Positive text origin verification

Ask HN: Positive text origin verification 3 by Miguel_FierroM | 7 comments on Hacker News. Is anyone working on a positive text origin verification standard? Everyday it gets harder to distinguish between AI generated content and human generated content. This will never really work on the side of the labs but for people looking to actively prove they're the ones that wrote something there's an incentive to voluntarily collect that evidence. Is anyone working on this?

New ask Hacker News story: You're saving one minute and now I can't know if I'm talking a human

You're saving one minute and now I can't know if I'm talking a human 6 by scoofy | 0 comments on Hacker News. I write a golf blog. Recently, it's been getting a nontrivial amount of attention from a very niche section of the nerd-golf community. I've been getting a small number of emails and message from people because of this. This is how it has been going: Me: Oh, this is a nice email. Wait, something seems off. Let me check this in Pangram... Oh, 100% AI predicted. I respond: Hey, thanks for the note. Just FYI, Pangram doesn't really like your writing style. Them: Ahh, you got me. I use AI to help me write. Blah, blah... --- I really don't know what to do here. I still don't know if I'm talking to a human. If you are messaging me because you like my writing and you're using AI to write these short messages for you, I don't know what to tell you. Please stop. It takes two minutes to write a quick message... I really don't care if...

Ask HN: Is anyone still working on dLLMs 3 by obonse | 0 comments on Hacker News. I remember seeing a lot of hype around Diffusion LLMs and thinking there was a lot of potential there for locally hosting models. Is there some big downside I'm not seeing?

Ask HN: How come everyone is an LLM expert? 3 by delis-thumbs-7e | 3 comments on Hacker News. It is a bit strange how new model is released and hour after there is commentators declaring it complete trash and embarrassment to the AI industry, or the best thing since sliced bread. Surely they have not had the opportunity to test the ins and outs of the model yet? Or do people just blindly trust benchmarks as if they were not pretty easy to manipulate, as research has shown quite a few times now? Or is it just all vibe? So how do you measure how one model is better than another?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Are there AI models for generating sounds based on a text and reference?

Ask HN: Are there AI models for generating sounds based on a text and reference? 6 by onemiketwelve | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been having a hard time finding a solution. Is there really no commercialized model that I can feed in a reference sound and text instruction and get another sound out? Right now having a multimodal inputs to image or text output is a commodotized, solved problem. IE you can put a prompt for some image and use a reference image to guide the model on what you want. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words right? Ive also used a text and audio input in order to get a text description or classification out. I cannot for the life of me find a solution for Audio + text -> Audio My usecase is that I'm trying to generate new sound effects based on a source that doesn't have that many clean examples and thought this would be just another solved workflow but I'm not finding much. Tried elevenlabs SFX but it's only text->audio an...
