‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

Here’s the link to the actual article. I get that you’re trying to do users a favour to bypass tracking at the original URL, but the Internet Archive is a Free service that shouldn’t be abused for link cleaning as it costs a lot of money to store and serve all this stuff and it’s meant as an “archive”, not an ad-blocking proxy.
I’m posting this in part because currently clicking that link errors it with a “too many requests” error. Let’s try to be a little kinder to the good guys, shall we?
If users wasnt a cleaner/safer/faster browsing experience, I recommend ditching Chrome for Firefox and getting the standard set of extensions: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, etc.
Yeah, especially if it’s not paywalled.
It deprives the original source of traffic too, even if it’s Adblock traffic.
Any free service is bound to be exploited to the fullest possible extent. It’s the depressing fate of so many internet projects.
Fuck it. Let’s make the Internet Archive only accessible from public libraries. And you will have to physically go to a library to access it. No accessing the archive through your library’s website.
I could also be convinced to make the Internet Archive only accessible from a series of elaborate temples we build just for this purpose.
Regardless of the method, the point is that the Internet Archive still exists and serves its core purpose. It loses some convenience of scholarly access, but in turn it now becomes useless as a paywall bypass mechanism.
