    poorly placed em-dash

    that’s not x, that’s y

    mic drop final sentence in its own paragraph

    I’m not saying it’s AI, but I am saying that I hope Sam Altman gets cancer for making me question virtually every string of text I see

      As a person who has used em-dash style of writing for decades, because it’s correct and appropriate, I hate that AI has made me seem like a bot

        AI doesn’t make you seem like a bot. Honestly, you’re a bit mixed up there.

        The internet is packed with arrogant idiots who can’t actually detect AI written content anywhere close to as well as they have deluded themselves into thinking – they are the problem in this context.

        AI was trained on the content people like you and I have been writing and posting on the internet for decades. It is AI that writes like us and uses our style, not the other way around.

          No the problem is that the internet is packed with AI pig shit slop.

          Stolen content. And all our writing is now worth so much less now because of AI slop.

        I feel like I was the training data. It feels like a violation of my rights. A lot of AI writing is reminiscent of my sentence structure, diction, and vocabulary. I’m sure I am not alone, but it is nice to see you echoing my sentiments.

          If it’s any consolation, we’re all its training data. Your style is just the one the training and fine-tuning settled on as the one that passed its checks the best.

        I also use em-dashes on occasion, but I use them right. I can’t define how I use them, nor can I conjure up any reasonable uses for one in this comment, but you can tell when it should be there and when it shouldn’t. Like, an AI would have replaced the second comma in that sentence with one

      If there’s one benefit to the rise of AI slop, it’ll be pushing people away from mass social media and back to IRL meetups where you can mostly guarantee you’re talking to a real person.

        It might be in your circle but I guarantee you people like my boomer parents (who are still on Twitter by the way) would not notice this at all. They might even respond.

          They don’t need to notice to change. Unpleasant or uninteresting experiences can lead to them frequenting these places less until they just don’t anymore. A big part of subscription services’ profit comes from these changes being made so unconsciously that people forget to cancel.

          I’m not a boomer or stranger to technology and i don’t notice most modern AI creations, unless really looking for the telltale signs in the almost invisible details and even those are getting harder to spot.

          Random ass tweet or picture doesn’t deserve that time and attention to look for those details to determine whatever it’s AI or man made, it’s still data garbage.

        As an autistic individual living in a rural middle of nowhere village with no access to transportation to leave and actually go do things of my interest and meet people outside of this regressive MAGA infested cesspool, I fail to see the benefits

      I’ll say it. It’s AI. I was about to comment that I hate how everyone is adopting this LinkedIn lunatics style of writing:

      A thing happened It was this thing Or that thing It was this other thing Platitude.

      But you just made me facepalm myself because of course it’s AI. It’s the content creator’s ambrosia.
