- emodendroket 9mo agoOne problem with any shibboleths people are looking for is as people see more AI writing they're more likely to begin to pick up AI phrasing. I mean, if the power of Web apps can revive the past participle "gotten" in the UK, it shouldn't be surprising it can get people to use the verb "delve" more often.
- twoodfin 9mo agoThe shibboleths aren’t the problem with AI writing; the problem is that it’s bad writing. Good writing uses novel combinations of tools (vocabulary, rhetoric, metaphor) to communicate novel ideas. Bad writing is a cargo cult of those tools.
- emodendroket 9mo agoThat’s a bit of a different problem. I’m talking about people specifically wanting to know whether AI was used. There are lots of bad writers out there with or without AI assistance.
