I keep seeing claims that grok is a "mechanical Turk", but searching turns up nothing. What evidence is there of this?
I think it's just a joke, as we've seen many AI projects are just Indians.
Yeah it seems pretty unlikely that any AI chat bots are manipulating code in the complex (whether the output is correct or not is immaterial to the complexity of the changes being made) ways that they are that quickly despite actually being done by humans.
Evidence of what?
Of being a person responding instead of an llm.
Oh. Funny, I use the term as a metaphor for a mechanical system that's entertaining but not really useful.
Ah, ok. That's not really what it means, but I see what you meant.
