A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

  • Use of the em-dash (—)
  • Parallel sentence structure (e.g. "It's not just X, it's Y")
  • Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
  • Delineating line breaks with emojis
  • Odd/unnatural verbiage
  • Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
  • Exaggerated and empty praise
  • Weird analogies and similes
  • Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

  • Including anecdotes
  • Written in the first person
  • Tangents and nonlinear storytelling

75% is already huge, 85-90% would just be a marginal change from that. Considering ive been accused of being an AI many times, it leads me to believe that LLMs are already where they need to be in terms of writing format. We just need to work on hallucinations and then AI will start to become actually useful

Useful... This will likely become a threat, or probably already is, by collecting user data into a dossie that is stored in a database. Which will make it easier to predict the actions of a specific person. Although I don't have any hard evidence, but...

Oh absolutely. I take a tech-optimist appraoch when discussing new technologies, because the alternative is that everyone outside of the 1% dies in less than 20 years. That seems boring to discuss to me, especially since while i may be a techno-optimist, im also a political-realist. Hence I can see that no one (escept luigi) is actually going to do anything impactful before we all die, so there just doesnt seem to be much point in discussing it. But maybe im wrong, maybe someone will finally decide that maybe we shouldnt be allowing evil people to run the world. In that case the techno-optimist route seems more likely!

Edit: premptive little thought experiment for anyone wanting to disagree. Take whatever counter point you are about to make, and then ask what the results of that "good action" actually were. Likely a lot of nothing, regaurdless of how well intentioned it may have been. Trump is still president after all, and were still just as fucked. The same could be argued about luigi, it doesnt actually seem he achieved much. But hey, he did in fact get rid of one problem directly at the source, which is more than can be said for anyone else in the modern era afaik.

Well, if you're familiar with the "right of the strong" and how power corrupts, then i think we really are going to die out soon... Also in the meantime, we can enjoy every day as if it were our last. Do you agree?
