The California Supreme Court cleared the way for Democrats to move forward with a plan to redraw congressional districts Thursday.

The California Supreme Court will not prevent Democrats from moving forward Thursday with a plan to redraw congressional districts.

Republicans in the Golden State had asked the state’s high court to step in and temporarily block the redistricting efforts, arguing that Democrats — who are racing to put the plan on the ballot later this year — had skirted a rule requiring state lawmakers to wait at least 30 days before passing newly introduced legislation.

But in a ruling late Wednesday, the court declined to act, writing that the Republican state lawmakers who filed the suit had “failed to meet their burden of establishing a basis for relief at this time.”

    I can definitely see the argument, OTOH, if someone actually owns up to it and says something on the order of “I dunno, so I asked Chat GPT and it says…”

    I think the admission/disclosure model is fine, AND it actually opens up discussion for “OK, here’s why Chat GPT is wrong…” which is a healthy discussion to have.

    But I can definitely bring it up with the group and see what people think!

      The issue is the scale. One comment can be fact checked in under an hour. Thousands not so much.

      Also, it’s not purely about accuracy. I want to be having discussions with other humans. Not software.

      Thanks for bringing this up to the group, I appreciate it! edit: typo

        Scale is always a problem, and if someone is using it to spam, we’d ban it for spam.

        I see a LOT of generative spam posts, those get removed with a quickness, but it’s because of the spam, not because it’s generated.

        Discussion is open now, so far it’s leaning on “hey as long as they disclose it…” which still leaves it open to remove undisclosed generated comments.

        But then you have the trap of “Well, how do you prove it if they don’t disclose it?” 🤔 There really is no LLM detector yet.

          Bots could be used to spam LLM comments, but users can effectively act as a manual bot with a LLM assisting them.

          There really is no LLM detector yet.

          Unless the prompter goes out of their way to obfuscate the text manually, which sort of defeats the purpose, they tend to be very samey. The generated text would stand out if multiple users were using the same or even similar prompts. And OPs stands out even without the admission.

          edit: to clarify I mean stand out to the human eye, human mods would have to be the ones removing the comments
