It's also a VERY HUMAN way to write.
I don't care so much about Digg, but the endless "haha, I caught you!" comments annoy me more than the rare actual AI-written content they label.
- GeorgeWBasic 8mo agoNot to the same extent at all. If you use ChatGPT for a while, you'll see it writes like that very frequently. Humans do write like that sometimes, but not with anywhere the frequency that ChatGPT does it. That's weak evidence for it being ChatGPT.
- kstrauser 8mo agoSuppose ChatGPT uses a semicolon more often than an individual person. On a pageful of comments from many random people, someone using a semicolon doesn't mean they're a bot even if 100% of their comments on that page includes one.
- GeorgeWBasic 8mo agoWould now be a good time to point out that I said that "It's not proof" and "weak evidence"? Because that is what I said.
- NetMageSCW 8mo agoYour next sentence then immediately took it as proof and evidence, so no.
- GeorgeWBasic 8mo agoWasn't asking you, and that isn't what my next sentence said at all. Your reading comprehension could use some work.
- PaulHoule 8mo agoIt behooves you to not write like that if you don’t want people dehumanizing you.
- iamdamian 8mo ago> It behooves you to not write like that if you don’t want people dehumanizing you. I have to strongly disagree with you on this. It behooves us (as a species) not to degrade our own manner of speaking and writing simply because of a (possibly temporary) technical anomaly. In my view, it would be really, really sad to lose expressive punctuation or ways of constructing sentences simply because they're overused by AI. I, for one, won't be a part of that, and I hope you won't, either.
- oscaracso 8mo agoYour prose is poor so it is no wonder. Half the words you use are superfluous, some are nonsensical, and you beg the question.

- kstrauser 8mo agoScrew them. I was writing like that before AI came along, and I won’t change just because it offends their delicate sensibilities.

- NetMageSCW 8mo agoSo based on your one example, you immediately went ChatGPT! because…?
- rchaud 8mo agoI think a human would have split the "it's not this, it's that" type of sentence into two separate sentences that could be more descriptive. This is a blog post, not a tweet, so there's no length constraint. If they wanted to keep it to a single sentence, they could have used a a word like "rather" to act as a separator between moat and wall.
