Lack of AI is going to be a premium service now. Freaking capitalism!

I kinda simultaneously hate and love that a lot of the features of slop writing were taught to me as "the correct, and only correct, way of writing formal English" and now I have an excuse/challenge to write all my shit like an unhinged grammar anarchist

• I'm gonna miss bulleted lists ngl
• No more parallel form? damn gonna miss that too actually
• A lot of its overused vocab words are ones I used to use for conciseness and to avoid repeating words too close together in the text

LLMs hedge constantly: "can", "may", "might", "could potentially", "it's possible that". Human experts state things. If you know it, say it. If you don't, say you don't.

if your background is even remotely medical or biology research-based, even the world's foremost expert is going to use a lot of hedging language because nobody wants to sound like an idiot for claiming "X gene does Y" then some grad student publishes a paper next year with smoking gun evidence that X gene isn't even expressed in vivo lmao

"The pen is mightier than the Claude"

I was wondering the other day if there is a list of LLM-isms somewhere, like "It's not X, but Y", em-dashes, overly confident statements, etc

@yogthos sadly the have to do that themself since apparently no publication company have the balls to put a simple label on the cover

This would be a great use of PGP

If I wanted to handwrite something, I'd have to make a video of me writing it so people could see the pauses and stuff, and be reasonably confident I didn't copy from an AI.

One of the things I found out -- there's enough of my IRC logs ingested by these models, they can already approximate my personal writing style, in a low quality way

The writers interviewed did use AI but don't want to get caught so they edit imperfections into the AI's output. They're just trying to fool the detectors.

I mean, the best proof is just to write well. AI can’t do that.

On one hand I understand the need to feel seen as authentic, but on the other, I think there is a danger in giving into the hysteria surrounding slop by twisting one's work into knots. If it's good, it's good. As Martin Scorsese said: "The most personal is the most creative."

I know that I've never personally never seen any LLM generated content that was interesting beyond it's novelty. Adam Savage also said (paraphrasing bc I can't find it) "Sharing your point of view is what makes something interesting and I have yet to see AI-generated content that has a point of view".

I've got a pen just like that, inherited from my mother - Parker 51

Here's my Costco receipt for pens....

I do my writing on an old laptop that doesnt know the touch of internet. When im done writing, it goes on a flash drive that goes to an internet connected computer to send it out. I dont know how to prove shit about fuck in my text itself. But, I have the original device I used and all that so.
