"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Found a video guide to spotting posts written by LLMs. Thought it might be useful. (www.youtube.com)

TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

  • Use of the em-dash (—)
  • Parallel sentence structure (e.g. "It's not just X, it's Y")
  • Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
  • Delineating line breaks with emojis
  • Odd/unnatural verbiage
  • Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
  • Exaggerated and empty praise
  • Weird analogies and similes
  • Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

  • Including anecdotes
  • Written in the first person
  • Tangents and nonlinear storytelling

For me the most obvious tell is using 16 paragraphs to say something that could have been said with 16 words.

I have ADHD and like en and em dashes. I've been known to use emoji points to make my 16 paragraphs easier to read.

Fortunately I think the constant personal tangents arr saving me

I get what you're saying, but I'll just clarify that my 16 paragraphs vs 16 words was about wordiness, not layout.
