It's enough to determine whether a citation even exists, which is what this story is about.

Oh no, acrimony from racists. They would never have been problematic before. You have to put white people in those roles without qualifications or you will upset the racists! Clown.

Wikipedia is still seen as untrustworthy. On some subjects it's fine. On others it ain't. Jimmy is doing crimethink editing on behalf of Israel now.

I'm sorry you didn't follow it, and then felt a need to say so. Which part do you find confusing? The part where it's not actually a deterrent if it's not actually a penalty?

That's an exaggeration. You can give a LLM access to real things and they can use those real things to verify. I just flatly do not understand why they are not. It wouldn't make them infallible, but it would go a huge way towards improving the situation, and they are clearly not doing it. They could also use non-AI software tools to check up on the AI output. I'd bet that you could even use a plagiarism detection tool for this purpose with little to no modification, but I'd also bet this kind of tool already exists anyway.

It also shows that if the penalty is insufficient then they have no positive effect. A fine that people with a lot of money can easily afford is just a prohibition which only applies to the poor, with a license fee. Look to speeding tickets which scale with income for a fair model.

Yes

I'm not against a human doing it, I just don't get why they're not having the software do it, when it's feasible for it to do it.

What you're saying here is that no one should ever try to remedy the evils of the past.

That's stupid shit.

Fuck that stupid shit.

Debian used to just require old school Unix stuff plus Perl, which is pretty old school really.

Then they started requiring Python for some tools.

They just keep adding more requirements which bloat the base install. This is the opposite of the right direction.

The source code is the most important documentation about the source code.

Clearly this not even even being done by an automated tool, let alone a human. An LLM which is given access to a database of actual cases could reasonably be successful at checking whether the cased cited even exist which isn't being checked now!

Using non-local AI in any way in court filings which are supposed to be confidential until filed is glaring lack of professional conduct right up front. Allowing AI hallucinations to get in to your court paperwork even once is the same. They should lose their license for one year the first time, five years the second time, and permanently the third.

Slashdot is such a shithole

I want them to fix the JavaScript related memory leaks in Mobile so I don't have to kill it several times a day. I guess that's too much to ask since this has been going on for literally years.
