The person I'm responding to didn't say anything about AI. I don't agree that this kind of thing should be automated like in the OP either. However, as far as I'm concerned, notifying post authors about spelling and gram

It's one thing when you're correcting someone you're in conversation with and a different thing entirely when you're correcting long-form material with at least some pretense for polish.

Is it otherwise that easy to confuse your writing with an LLM's? What if they deliberately start including spelling mistakes into slop pipelines, as the post points out?

I tried to repeat your experiment. I entered "xoodoo", surrounded by quotation marks into the Google search bar. I got 29 pages of results. From what I can tell by the previews, every result matches the string "xoodoo" a

Famous signatures or just signatures of the famous? Because I'm surprised there's no Lucas Cranach the Elder dragon signature for example.

Had the same thought reading this. I haven't found a place for LLMs in my writing and I'm sure many people have the same experience. I'm sure it's great for pumping out SEO corporate blogposts. How many articles are out

When did this happen? I do exact searches on Google almost every day and it seems to honor the quotation marks just fine for me.

I'd be interested to see how these quotes show that primary sources are not allowed on Wikipedia.

This is very much false, Primary sources only play a supporting role on Wikipedia, but they are definitely allowed. For example, if you're writing an article on Apple you can cite Apple for what Wikipedia calls "uncontroversial se

This is incorrect. Wikipedia relies primarily on secondary sources, which makes it a tertiary source, and it describes itself this way.[1] The World Factbook does not collect the information it provides, making it a secondary source. [1]:
