HN comments, too. Long, grammatically perfect comments that sound hollow and a bit lengthy are everywhere now.
It's still early, and I don't see much in corporate communications, for instance, but it will be quite the change.
- dri_ft 2y ago>Long, grammatically perfect comments that sound hollow and a bit lengthy It's worse than I thought. They've already managed to mimick the median HN user perfectly!
- schmorptron 2y agoYes. The old heuristics of if something is generated by grammar and sentence structure don't work as well anymore. The thing that fucks me up the most about it is that I now constantly have to be uncertain about whether something is human or not. Of course, you've always had to be careful about misinformation on the internet, but this raises the scalability of false, hollow, and harmful output to new levels. Especially if it's a topic I'm trying to learn about by reading random articles (or comments), there isn't much of a frame of reference to what's good info and what's hallucinated garbage. I fear that at some point the anonymity that made the internet great in the first place will be destroyed by this.
- gryn 2y agoTo be fair that was already the case for me before AI, Right at that time that companies, individual and governments found out that they could write subvert ads in the form of comments posts and 'organic' and they started to flood reddit, discord, etc. The dead internet theory started to look more real with time, AI spam is just scaling it up.
- EternalFury 2y agoI have a strange problem: I have always written in a manner that now leads people to think I am a LLM. It has been so bad, I even considered injecting misspelling and incorrect grammar and bad punctuation into my prose to prove my words are mine.
- schmorptron 2y agoI feel you, people who liked the word "delve" will have to stop using it.
- ff10 2y agoI tried to make ChatGPT generate a counterpoint for that but it turns out you're right.
- myspy 2y agoNo problem, I'm here to keep the language sophistication level low.
- theGeatZhopa 2y agoI take care of the etiquette and try to do my best to keep it low. We need one who's doing the dirty work of not discussing.
- vmfunction 2y agoMany business doesn't want to send their data to a third party such as OpenAI, so until locally run LLM becomes wildly available in businesses.
- red-iron-pine 2y agoas the meme goes "always has been" i remember seeing the change when GPT-2 was announced
- neves 2y agoI'm a non native English speaker. Edge new feature of automatically improving my text is a God send. Unfortunately it is blocked at work.
