@hackeryarn so, to sum up: if it's perfect, it's AI. If it's not perfect, it's AI. It's always AI 😂
@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.
-
@stefano I wouldn't have thought this post was LLM generated, but I will admit that bursts of one sentence paragraphs often make me suspicious, even though I know it's a writing style that LLMs originally got from marketing copy written by humans.
@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.

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

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" 😆

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

so far it generates a lot of laughs
