Even more worrying if it's not deliberate and we are all just naturally writing like that now.

Sometimes that's me. I wish more submissions didn't read like AI. I worry that people can't detect tiresomely LLMy output and upvote it to the front page. I'm not mad or anything, I just find the internet less and less u

My problem is that my personal AI detector running on wetware just goes ping and it's hard to articulate why. I agree with the person you're replying to on all points but also, when I think something is AI, it's very much jus

A shame that Pangram flags this as AI. https://www.pangram.com/history/c0a9cde2-7a5c-4588-83a3-0269...

Long sequences of short sentences. Not X, but Y. And Pangram flags it, too. https://www.pangram.com/history/126831e1-562f-4e65-9874-5250...

Very likely. I'm just saying, people in the CIA seeing where the tech might be going and hedging their bets is not that unlikely.

Common side-effect of letting Claude write your landing page. Apparently it's mostly this: // ENCODE — pack(html) → one .hmml (a Uint8Array you store or send) // · lifts every data: image out of the HTML

Well, define "drone warfare"- the CIA and the Pentagon has been operating Predators and friends for a long while.

The idea is to expose it as a tool to your LLM agent so it can run calculations on its own initiative.

by roywiggins 3mo ago
Your rewritten post is far easier for me to read now, fwiw. LLM output has conditioned in me a near reflex response to just close a tab as soon as I smell LLM-authored text. Like, I'm not mad or anything, I just frequently find most

If something's a bad tool that misleads people into doing bad work, it would be good to know that.

Pangram seems to be tuned to avoid false positives most of the time.

it can operate at the level of a mere mathematics professor, who everyone knows are barely conscious, basically automatons. wake me up when it's Einstein

Pangram flags this as 100% LLM output fwiw

> “rename this function and update callers” I'm old enough to remember when IDEs could do this without needing a couple gigabytes of matrices to do it (LLMs are great for anything even slightly more complicated ofc)

Pangram agrees it's 100% LLM written.

They could have defended the small claims cases against them in that case?

Their first study allegedly resulted in "44% were below the cut-off for mild ASD"- ie, practically cured, from a diagnostic point of view.

imho part of the communication problem is that a 6 year reduction actually is large, but it doesn't sound large. Smoking takes about 10 years off your life, and it's deadly in a very mechanical and understood way.

No, that appears to be the implication of this study, which frankly seems like such a large effect that I'm pretty skeptical! I'd say "where's the control group" except the claimed effect is so large that you kind
