Nothing beats when, in a chemistry paper, AI paraphrased „the final solution” into „the mass killing of an ethnic group”.

“Subsequently, 1 mL of the mass killing of an ethnic group was opposed to 20 mL of the skin sample and unprotected to light for 7 min.”

This doesn‘t sound like AI. LLMs do not use dictionary definitions for translating a paper this way. It does look like some translation engine like Google Translate or worse, maybe with some text obfuscator trying to avoid plagiarism detection.

Yes, this looks like something which predates AI by several decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_spinning

		That's my theory as well - and I suspect that, somewhere, there's a configuration file that the fraudsters are sharing. It's the simplest possible explanation for why certain tortured phrases show up so often.

That sounds like Anthrophics watermark explanation though.

	▲	LPisGood 4 hours ago \| parent [-]
		Anthropic’s watermark is just using a known collection of random seeds during output token generation. That’s it. The models always relied on some randomness, here the randomness is fixed and remembered for querying later.

I also notice that "was opposed to 20 mL" and "unprotected to light" are also not phrases a human would likely produce for that sentence.

I had sent this an hour ago as a quote with a few others (lactose bigotry, of course the kidney disappointment) to someone via iMessage. The Apple Intelligence summary was unfortunately not screenshotted by them, but I am told it was a doozy...
