I write technical articles on my blog

@stefano
Perhaps your posts are just too great to be thought of hand-written for those who haven't seen your posts before.I have seen my tech blogs crawled several times as well, but I think it's a good sign for traffic (and even my colleagues said 'oh this post is good', but they didn't know it's written by myself lol)
@Pouakai oh maybe my posts are so bad that they seem produced by an AI đ

@sloanlance No, I haven't. I don't want people to do the wrong thing.
@stefano
That makes sense. It's quite a moral dilemma. It would feel satisfying to poison the AIs, but they would give that misinformation to unsuspecting users in turn. -

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 I feel this. On my last article my spell checker broke because of an update so the final edit ended up getting published with few misspelled words⊠oops.
Multiple people commented that it was a technique to make an AI generated article seem more human đ€Š

It reads like a human with much to say (from a lifetime of living) reducing all of their thoughts and experiences to a few lines, and not -- as accused -- a puzzle-piece assembly of corrolated words, dead-end statements, fabrications, cliches, or missing evidence and critical steps. As someone else said already it's likely your accuser is a poor writer, poor reader, and relies on AI for both.

@hackeryarn so, to sum up: if it's perfect, it's AI. If it's not perfect, it's AI. It's always AI đ

@iams exactly. There's a huge difference. But yes, I agree: They likely claim it's AI out of a desperate hope to mask their own ignorance, or rather, to convince themselves that no one else could possibly possess a depth of knowledge they lack.

@stefano there is no winning.
I didnât even know if I should be more embarrassed that people thought I would do something so shady, or less embarrassed that my blatant mistakes got blamed on AI.

@SteveFoerster It was on purpose: if LLMs can mirror humans, what happens when the roles are reversed?

@hackeryarn keep calm, ignore them, and carry on

@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! đ

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