Funny that we're reached the point where perfectly normal rhetorical habits can trigger the "AI wrote this" alarm... (or not funny, just ironic)

- shuwix 21d agoNo. People don't speak like drunk linguinist on anonymous online forum. That's not "Perfectly normal rhetorical habits". It's either AI-assisted or someone desperatelly trying to impress "unknown people" with their non-existent intellect.
- TeMPOraL 21d agoSure they do. I speak like this. Many others too. Evidence is in historical record. At this point it's super annoying for me to have my "AI wrote this" alarm trigger at my own language, as I'm writing...
- ncruces 21d agoWasting your latin trying to impress others with nothingness causes the same revulsion, human or AI. Previously, most people would save their effort for things that actually mattered. Take away the effort and this is what you get.
- dgellow 21d agoIt’s not about trying to impress others
- shuwix 20d agoDumb people want to impress by using words others might not understand. Smart people want others to understand them. In early days of Internet, it was a domain of smart people. And native English speakers have no problem communicating with people from Ex-Comecon countries with vey little English knowledge.
- ncruces 20d agoOh, but it is. It's long READMEs with 3 punchlines per paragraph for a project best described has "I found these 4 thingies, all of them had compromises, so I told Claude: merge the 4, no compromises!" And every issue, every PR you open, about every small improvement or new feature, is the same.
- dgellow 20d agoI learned a new term for that earlier today, I believe your falling for the goomba fallacy: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy

- cbolton 21d agoIt's John Nagle as in Nagle's algorithm, I'm sure he has an existing intellect.
- ChrisMarshallNY 21d agoHeh. We are now at the point where people might end up deliberately inserting typos and bad grandma into their writing, just to signal they aren’t AI. I mentioned once, that one of the reasons that AI sounds the way it does, is because it learned from us. That didn’t seem to be a popular point.
- noir_lord 21d ago> Heh. We are now at the point where people might end up deliberately inserting typos and bad grandma into their writing, just to signal they aren’t AI. Except what humans write will continue to be fodder for the LLM's so they'll "learn" that at some point. The Anti-Turing Test - Prove you aren't AI becoming a thing is very... well Black Mirror.
- ChrisMarshallNY 20d agoYep. And I guarantee that people are probably already instructing their agents to have random typos.
- noir_lord 20d agoIt's been weird to see the face of a bunch of youtubers I've followed for years without any idea what they look like (mostly history/military history/engineering type stuff), it used to be video/photo's/diagrams with them providing a voice over but because of the sheer quantity of absolute shite/slop mirroring that style they've started appearing on camera as quick "proof of not AI" check. For that type of content YT is essentially completely ruined if you didn't already follow the good ones because finding them in the absolute sea of dross has become way more difficult.
- strbean 21d agoI got Italian last night and their drunk linguinist made me spaghetti instead of linguini.
- internet_points 21d agoThank you for showing me how to use that bigram in context. But the question remains, how does a drunk linguinist speak?
- strbean 19d agoMuch more eloquently than a drunk buccatinist, that's for sure!
- CalRobert 21d agoYesterday in a meeting I said "here's the thing" and I hate that I can't say that anymore without feeling self conscious. This was on on a call too!
