In other news, mathematicians have been working hard on calculator detector software. Upon request for comment, leading mathematicians suggested a variety of ideas, such as such as secretly embedding a watermark “58008” (BOOBS) into the decimal parts of pi and e to more easily identify derived calculations. There was consistent sentiment among leading minds that “back in my day we had to work hard to do math, and walk up hill both ways in the snow to school”… and that “there’s nothing wrong with a good ol’ fashion abbicus, dag nabbit!”
Just because you can plug information into a calculator (or a LLM) doesn't mean you understand the math that comes out of it (or the data). Which I think is rather that point of academia not wanting people to use chat gpt generated content.
On the other hand this is to prevent LLM's using data generated by other LLM's. Which is important because that's how they degrade in quality.
