@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 😂

@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 🤦

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 😂

@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 didn’t 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! 😄

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

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" 😆

Merci pour ce book. C'est trés intéressante. Je pense que je vais le traduire en italien, s'il n'y à pas des problèmes.

Con "qualche semplificazione c'è" ti riferisci a Yunohost?
Sicuramente c'è, mi domandavo se dovendo gestire solo un DB tipo mySQL, un web server tipo Apache (Yunohost non usa Apache) e le 5-6 applicazioni che li usano, avesse senso aggiungere Yunohost.
Fino ad ora ho usato solo hosting condiviso quindi nel passare ad un VPS dovrei gestire in più, rispetto ad ora, "solo" gli aggiornamenti del sistema operativo (che però sono automatici), quelli del web server, quelli del DB e configurare il firewall.
Il lavoro da fare è questo, quanto sarebbe d'aiuto Yunohost e quanto sarebbe solo un SW in più di cui occuparmi? Non lo so.
