I can't believe we're going to forever have to live with people who don't speak English as a first language having their written work assumed to be done by AI.

I can't believe we're going to forever have to live with people who don't speak English as a first language having their written work assumed to be done by AI. It's pretty disappointing.
- colechristensen 1y agoI think people will get bored with it, especially when we get to a point where a majority of written things will have AI in the loop and we'll return to bad writing just being bad writing.
- qualeed 1y agoNot just people who don't speak English as a first language. I was recently linked a list of 1,000+ words that "shouldn't be used" because they're "evidence" of AI. Oh, and if you use bullet points, obviously AI. Dashes? AI. Paragraphs with opening and concluding sentences? AI!
- andrewflnr 1y agoI've said it before, and I'll probably keep saying it forever: bad writing predates AI. Overly verbose writing predates AI. Not all the bad writing you see is AI, lots of it is still the good old fashioned kind. Not that inserting an aside about a different language is bad writing. It's also weird enough that it's exactly what I would not expect an AI to do (except perhaps under very odd and specific circumstances). "It's clearly AI" has become a catchall for any writing that people find even mildly bad or surprising.
