AI detection really seems like a doomed endeavor. I assume it will be impossible in the next year or so.

Thank goodness. Testing has almost always been a gigantic waste of time.

Do humans who write with machine assistance understand what they are saying? If someone is using AI tools to fill in factual content in a way they don't understand, that should be easy enough to figure out by a competent reader or teacher.
I remember at times in school we used to copy stuff straight out of the book we were studying. There was definitely not much learning from doing that.

Would be great, because I will regain at least an hour each day that I currently spend on solving captchas. The recently updated cloudflare check shows me up to 6 puzzles in a row before it lets me in right now. More if I don't use tor (and thus come from a known VPN endpoint)

I was using tor a lot for a while, but the captchas made me really reevaluate my threat model and the result has been that I don't use tor as much.
*my autocorrect hates tor

That's nice! I can re-evaluate all I want but the threat assessment isn't going to change for me.
Not even under this nym on SN, because it's pretty bad if someone gets to correlate, say, a zap that likely came from me to IP logs obtained from any of the places that are auto-embedded, per the security policy on / these are:
www.youtube.com
platform.twitter.com
njump.me
open.spotify.com
rumble.com
embed.wavlake.com
bitcointv.com
peertube.tv
Any of these sites leak info with timestamped IP addresses on access logs, I'm effed. Oh and any GitHub interaction (filing issue/pr, commenting) is a leak because IP addresses are visible to repo owners.
