AI has a style that is observable and I'm not a fan. Corporate speak comes close but AI writing is more obnoxious. I am slowly disconnecting from all things internet. I remember reaching the end of the internet in 98. Less and less feels real and I've been working remote long enough that my coworkers could be AI for all I know. I refuse to dawn the AR goggles as the reality I experience is real and the world that awaits may be desirable but ultimately empty of any lasting value.

Specific models have a style, ChatGPT has a style, Llama has a style, but there's nothing about the technique that has a style. If you run any of the vast variants emerging out there and tweak the sampling you can get absolutely wildly creative and divergent tones. Each model does seem to have a personality, but with fine tuning you can get one to write in any style you want.

  Yes, but even the wildly creative ones sound way over the top, and detectable as AI too

    You only detect the ones that are detectable, and that gives you a false sense of confidence that you can tell them apart.

      There's a cadence that humans have that isn't matched. It's close at times until like a juke in basketball you can find a non human response. Go off script and computers can't compensate.

    Nah, you can get pretty much every tone in the gradient between c-suite press release and schizophrenic.

  Same with image models. So many fine-tuned models, LoRA’s, etc

Why '98? Just curious. It seemed pretty young then. Most people on the internet in 98 had 28.8 or 56k modems. I feel like things were getting better until 2010-ish.

  > Various personal accounts and Google search results reveal that jokes about "the last page of the Internet" have been around since the late 90s, hosted on various personal / business / academic websites, discussion boards and e-mail. Tracing it through Google search shows that this phenomenon was firmly established by early 1998, making a 1997 origin plausible, although it is not certain.

  I worked with fast internet and worked the graveyard shift. Ten hours of internet for 50 hours a week is enough.
