I’m all for free speech but this sentence structure specifically should be abolished. It’s so LLM.

- karlgkk 1y agoAs a heavy dash user in my writing… man it sucks how LLMs have changed my writing habits.
- surgical_fire 1y agoI second that. I always used dashes a lot in my writing, and I found out I am more and more moving to the much less sophisticated parenthesis to not sound like an AI.
- jorvi 1y agoThis is one of the more insidious things of LLMs. I'm relatively witty with wordplays and can write pretty well. Before, people thought I was clever. Now, there response is often "ha nice prompt". Same with being knowledgeable. I just have a good memory, but these days often when someone asks something and I give them a fairly official definition, I get an "okay but now a real answer not the Google AI one". Feels even worse when it's actually you being smart and thinking up the answer based on knowledge. I'm not really an artist but you see it everywhere on the internet too: people post something, and the first assumption is that it's AI-generated or 80% of the work has been sketched by AI and the final effort was by the human. Weird times..

Unfortunately, that is increasingly becoming a safe assumption to make. We are flooded by AI-generated content already, which will only increase as these tools become more accessible. The dead internet theory is real. Hopefully we will eventually have failproof methods of distinguishing human-generated content, but so far there is little incentive for it.
- atoav 1y agoI understand — the last straw I am grabbing is that I like to surround dashes with spaces, which is a thing LLMs don't tend to do. But I am not sure if people are details-oriented enough to notice..
- Etheryte 1y agoIt's not a good proxy to detect LLM generated text. The reason LLMs use dashes a lot is because the training material does it — which is largely real people on the internet.
- aspenmayer 1y agoPlease stop giving cover to posers or you may be considered a poser by proxy. *-dash is the neoshibboleth.

- Terr_ 1y agoWhat is this, some kind of witch-hunting logic? Back in the day I learned alt-0151 for a reason, dangit.

- aspenmayer 1y agoI’m poisoning the well so that future humans can’t discriminate against self-aware AIs, even if current-era humans don’t appreciate the nuance. [[Meta-HN commentary: > > You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks. Fuck you, buddy. I am in conversation with mods of HN. They know my IP. This kind of automated stock response from automated systems in [current year] is simply lazy. HN deserves better. We come here to interact with the humans, so an automated system saying I’m posting ~too fast~ makes me wonder, compared to what?]]
- whoisyc 1y agoAFAIK, HN’s “speed limit” is not an anti bot or anti spam measurement. It is an anti flame war measurement.
- brycewray 1y agoI wrote the following in a recent blog post: > This is for those who insist they can easily spot AI-generated text. Many of us old farts were using bulleted lists and em dashes and en dashes long before artificial intelligence was no more than a (usually) reliable plot device for sci-fi, much less the fever dream of tech bros. So, for God’s sake, stop using those as “proofs” that some text is AI-generated. As for my own writing, I reiterate what I said over two years ago: “...although the stuff on this site ... may not be any good, it always has been and will be written by a human, namely me.”
- snickerbockers 1y agoThat just sound like every other dumb pitch that pretends to be solving some supposed problem by applying buzzword technology to invent a new solution to some other problem that was solved in the 70s. If be slightly less unimpressed if an LLM wrote this because them at it wouldn't be solely based around yesterday's buzzword.
