This is such a useful feature.
I'm fairly well versed in cryptography. A lot of other people aren't, but they wish they were, so they ask their LLM to make some form of contribution. The result is high level gibberish. When I prod them about the mess, they have to turn to their LLM to deliver a plausibly sounding answer, and that always begins with "You are absolutely right that [thing I mentioned]". So then I don't have to spend any more time wondering if it could be just me who is too obtuse to understand what is going on.
- nemomarx 1y agoFinally we can get a "watermark" in ai generated text!
- zrobotics 1y agoThat or an emdash
- szundi 1y agoI like using emdesh and now i have to stop because this became a meme
- mananaysiempre 1y agoYou’re not alone: https://xkcd.com/3126/ https://xkcd.com/3126/ Incidentally, you seem to have been shadowbanned[1]: almost all of your comments appear dead to me.

- dkenyser 1y agoInteresting. They don't appear dead for me (and yes I have showdead set). Edit: Ah, nevermind I should have looked further back, that's my bad. Apparently the user must ave been un-shadowbanned very recently.
- lemontheme 1y agoSame. I love my dashes and I’ve been feeling similarly self-conscious. FWIW I have noticed that they’re often used incorrectly by LLMs, particularly the em-dash. It seems there’s a tendency to place spaces around the em-dash, i.e. <word><space><em-dash><space><word>, which is an uncommon usage in editor-reviewed texts. En-dashes get surrounding spaces; em-dashes don’t. Not that it changes things much, since the distinction between the two is rarely taught, so non-writing nerds will still be quick to cry ‘AI-generated!’
- 0x457 1y agoPretty sure, almost every Mac user is using emdash. I know I do when I'm macOS or iOS.
- jcul 1y agoDon't forget emojis scattered thoughout code.
- cpfiffer 1y agoI agree. Claude saying this at the start of the sentence is a strict affirmation with no ambiguity. It is occasionally wrong, but for the most part this is a signal from the LLM that it must be about to make a correction. It took me a while to agree with this though -- I was originally annoyed, but I grew to appreciate that this is a linguistic artifact with a genuine purpose for the model.
- furyofantares 1y agoThe form of this post is beautiful. "I agree" followed by a completely unrelated reasoning.
- dr_kiszonka 1y agoThey agreed that "this feature" is very useful and explained why.
- furyofantares 1y agoYou're absolutely right.
- jjoonathan 1y agoChatGPT opened with a "Nope" the other day. I'm so proud of it. https://chatgpt.com/share/6896258f-2cac-800c-b235-c433648bf4ee https://chatgpt.com/share/6896258f-2cac-800c-b235-c433648bf4...
- bobson381 1y agoWow, that's really great. Nice level of information and a solid response off the bat. Hopefully Claude catches up to this? In general I've liked Claude pro but this is cool in contrast for sure.
- klik99 1y agoIs that GPT5? Reddit users are freaking out about losing 4o and AFAICT it's because 5 doesn't stroke their ego as hard as 4o. I feel there are roughly two classes of heavy LLM users - one who use it like a tool, and the other like a therapist. The latter may be a bigger money maker for many LLM companies so I worry GPT5 will be seen as a mistake to them, despite being better for research/agent work.
- virtue3 1y agoWe should all be deeply worried about gpt being used as a therapist. My friend told me he was using his to help him evaluate how his social interactions went (and ultimately how to get his desired outcome) and I warned him very strongly about the kind of bias it will creep into with just "stroking your ego" - There's already been articles on people going off the deep end in conspiracy theories etc - because the ai keeps agreeing with them and pushing them and encouraging them. This is really a good start.
