Hi folks
I received an alert about a post from a new user, and I was close to delete it
because it is not-relevant for the Scaler section, and not-relevant with the Scaler’s Humanize feature, but maybe that Scaler devs may tolerate it because it is under General Discussion
Anyway, it is about an online free “AI humanizer tool”
I dropped 2 simple pieces of text to see how they were “humanized” and below are the results:
The dog is on the table
(a typical sentence of the English course attended when I was in elementary school)
Humanized into: The dog is sitting.
YUK!
The dog can lie on the table in any posture, not just sitting
Crappy robots make stupid pieces of text
Humanized into: There are stupid pieces of text made by crappy robots.
YUK again!
The “AI humanized text” tones down a lot my trenchant criticism
So it’s very clear that the “humanized” sentences failed their primary goals that are making a paraphrase that is correct AND seems made by humans (unless “incompetent humans” are included, clearly)
Now, I know I am close to ignite a flame, but I dislike AI because it strives to reduce human capabilities (the human memory and good writing style are jeopardized already since years by PCs and their ability to reuse sentences, nevertheless they are good or bad), while its capacity to improve human capabilities is still to be demonstrated
So, as far as my mind remains clear, I’ll keep thinking, reasoning, speculating, searching for evidence and finding answers to my speculations by myself
And the same applies to music or photography making, where the “humanization” will be just my faults using knobs and keys
