edit history in Google docs is a good way to defend yourself from AI tool use accusations
3 comments

The funny part is that Googe has all the edit history data. In other words, it's a piece of cake for them to train a model that mimics human editing process.

The only thing prevents them from doing so is the fact Google is too big to sell a "plagiarism assistant."

So the model is going to spend hours hesitantly typing in a google doc, moving paragraphs around, cutting and pasting, reworking sentences, etc so that the timestamped history matches up with something a human could realistically have done?
I’m very tempted to write a tool that emulates human composition and types in assignments in a human-like way, just to force academia to deal with their issues sooner.
Ironic that one of the biggest AI companies is also the platform to offer a service to protect yourself from allegations of using it.
