typos mean it's more likely to have been made by a careless human.
- valleyer 1mo agoCertainly. But in the current social environment, being seen as (mildly) careless is less bad than being seen as someone who lets an LLM write prose for them.
- John7878781 1mo agoThat's kind of sad. I miss being an OG em dash user.
- parpfish 1mo agoi make typos constantly (seriously, check my post history). i probably have typos in my resume. i just dont know why anybody should care. the meaning is still easily parseable. i cant imagine letting something so superficial matter
- philipov 1mo agoI make typos all the time as well, on stuff I am just writing off the cuff like a forum or chat message. But when it comes to something important, don't you check it over dozens of times? hundreds of times? A mere missing semicolon will make your code not compile. How could you let a superficial typo go uncorrected once you see it? How could you not see it when it's in the most obvious spot? It suggests a certain lack of diligence; like you didn't proofread your work. What about the person that should have proofread it as a second opinion? Did this really follow a rigorous academic process at all? <- That's the first impression when the presentation is sloppy.
