these seem to occur only in college assignment projects, and in the output of text generators trained on those.
- WD-42 1y agoI will never place emojis in any of my readmes ever again.
- chucky_z 1y agospell out 'development' with hammer emojis. bring ascii art back as emoji art. (i actually do this in slack messages and folks find it funny and annoying, but more funny)
- tayo42 1y agoPeople were doing this before llms, otherwise how did they learn it?
- WD-42 1y agoSure, but llms absolutely love to do it for some reason.
- tayo42 1y agoI just took a look at a Readme I had cursor write a couple months ago and there's no emojis
- johnisgood 1y agoYou can always have it in your custom prompt: "Do not use emojis, ever".
- pdntspa 1y agoI had a manager who did this in his slack messages
- adastra22 1y agoThat's why he said "never again"
- nine_k 1y agoHas been doing this for years, even before LLMs were a thing. No, not in college assignments; by the time emoji appeared, I had long since walked out of my PhD program and went to the industry. I put such emojis at the beginning of big headings, because my eyes detect compact shapes and colors faster than entire words and sentences. This helps me (and hopefully others) locate the right section easier. In Slack, I put large emojis at the beginning of messages that need to stand out. These are few, and emojis work well in this capacity. (Disclaimer: I may contain a large language model of some kind, but very definitely I cannot be reduced to it in any area of my activity.)
- adastra22 1y agoFWIW it is really confusing to me and others. What is this emoji supposed to mean? Heck if I know. But the telltale signs are far more than just that. The whole document is exactly the kind of README produced by Claude.
- MangoToupe 1y agoI had assumed they were referring to stuff like "Type-safe operations with compile-time guarantees". What a weird detail to add to a readme. And the whole section is like that. I wonder if that's part of a prompt leaking through.
