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 π

@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 π€¦

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 π

@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.
