The problem is it’s not plagiarism detector (it would also be a pretty bad one since it can’t detect quotes) it’s an AI detector.

It’s saying that a direct quote is AI, Which obviously isn’t true, it’s a quote, which is a different thing.

If 10% of my thesis is quoting other works that’s not the same as my thesis being 10% AI generated. The distinction needs to be made.

When I was at university I was pretty belligerent and if a professor tried that on me I’d have reported them for academic misconduct. They should be grading in the damn papers themselves, if they’re not going to do that then what is the point in them?

I had to write a short story for English literature class in 2006 and I still have the file. Apparently over half of that is AI generated, which is pretty impressive on my part I must say.

Well the local pigeons are definitely not getting any more intelligent I’ll tell you that.

That’s why you have to occasionally stick your arse in the air on a sunny day. Do it near a school or local park. You’ll be fine, if anyone asks tell them JFK said to.

Well it’s only a theory has anyone actually met a germ?

It’s found in plants and bacteria so it’s not actually exclusively plants which is why in most countries you’re not allowed to use it as a weed killer.

So does it go after organic tissue or not, because last time I checked I’m pretty certain that plants are organic. No one has plants in their stomach either. What a prat.

In real life it would have been named after it’s discoverer or the planet on which it was found. Most sci-fi shows at least name their made up materials Nequadah, Trilithium, Spice, Red Matter, Really hot tea, etc

It is truly a dumb decision because it’s got absolutely nothing to do with the film. It’s just lazy justification for being there, they could have chosen anything.

I think it’s a room temperature superconductor which, ok I can see why that’s useful, but if you’re in a future where you have interstellar starships flying on a semi regular basis to another star system I think you’ve probably already invented room temperature superconductors. In fact they must have room temperature superconductors because their starships are powered by fusion drive which needs electromagnetic confinement in order to work. So at least the first ship would have to already have that tech just to get out there in the first place.

If they have any imagination at all they should call it Wompom, because it’s so useful you can do whatever you like with it.

It’s a bit different though isn’t it. Missouri is a state, an internal administrative district inside a country. I feel like it’s a bit different than not knowing where a country is.

I suspect that most Americans don’t know where Europe is, what countries make it up, and couldn’t point to Ukraine on a map.

Is it paranoia though if they believe in a particular thing with no actual evidence and it just turns out that they’re partially correct by chance?

Because there are plenty of conspiracies along the lines of “the government is monitoring everyone” but it’s always been via nanobots in your blood or via psychic energies being emitted from 5G towers. It’s never “the government to tracking me with this GPS enabled device that I voluntarily purchased with my own money, now excuse me I have to make a rambling geotagged Facebook post the Gray Aliens”.

No conspiracy theorists aren’t interested in seeking out actual conspiracies. They’re trying to make themselves feel important in a world that doesn’t care about them. So they find some special secret that only they know and that makes them feel important and claim the earth is flat.

As far as factoids are concerned where are you getting the evidence that COVID was a lab leak? That has never been confirmed.

Depends who they’ve elected as leader.

Oh is that what it’s about. I thought it was the horror game or something. The advertising for it was so ambiguous I never really looked into it

Yet more legitimate targets i see.

An actually advanced society would fund science more effectively and actually have loads of orbital telescopes.

Conspiracy theorists never actually believe in the actual conspiracies. No it’s always the lamp posts broadcasting nanobots into your blood. And not that the phone that has tracking capabilities is tracking you, in fact no conspiracy theorist ever has ever been worried about their iPhone or billionaires sending plenty text emails to each other about to listen activities.
