@stefano On the plus side, more technically proficient writing. On the minus side, a homogenized world in which all writing comes in shades of beige.
@stefano But I will say that I use more em dashes than ever. I've always liked them, and I'm not going to give them up just because LLMs use them! π

@SteveFoerster Same. Sometimes I see those sentences like "let's delve" that AI love. And I won't stop using them because of this.

I write technical articles on my blog.
AIs show up in large numbers to read them, crawl them, learn from them.
Time passes. I publish a new post.And right on schedule, someone comments:
"This was clearly written by an AI".Which is fascinating, really.
I write.
Machines read.
I keep writing.
Then humans accuse me of being the machine.At this point I am not sure if the problem is that AI sounds too human,
or that humans have forgotten what a human who actually studies sounds like.Either way, I will keep writing.
Worst case scenario, the AIs will enjoy it.
Best case scenario, one day a human will too.@stefano
Return the favor and bounce it back: your message is written by AI.Thanks for your blog posts, 𧑠from another blogger πͺπ»

@mboelen nice idea!
Thank you! -

Also, I refuse to let go of the em dash damnit.

@liztai if there are typos, they'll accuse you to put those typos intentionally inside an AI generated text to make it more "human" π

@stefano you really can't win π

@stefano you really can't win π
@liztai no, you can't π But you can keep calm, ignore them, and carry on.

I.don't write often, but I see the struggle. This.is my last piece

so far it generates a lot of laughs

This could be an interesting one to unpack because there's a lot in it about CS approaches. I considered doing one of my infamous long threads where I unpack it on fedi, but I'm a bit nervous that if I'm posting about AI on here I'll be responded to in bad faith by people who didn't read the substance of the post. So I'm not so sure.
But I *do* think the subject is interesting. Maybe I should just let people read it.

Before you get into it, the caveats are there in the post. You'll hear me critique the AI industry *a lot*, and those critiques haven't changed. I'm still concerned about effects on the environment, on skill decline, on the DDoS'ing of the internet, and especially on disempowerment *generally*. All that remains true.
This is going to be a somewhat niche post for people who are particularly interested in neurosymbolic computation, which includes me: the idea that neither LLMs nor constraint solvers are sufficient, that the right path for many things combines them.

An AI Called Winter: Neurosymbolic Computation or Illusion? https://dustycloud.org/blog/an-ai-called-winter-neurosymbolic-computation-or-illusion/
In which I try to piece apart whether or not a *particular* AI agent is doing something novel: running Datalog as a constraint against its own behavior and as a database to accumulate and query facts. Is something interesting happening or am I deluding myself? Follow along!
