I knew this was a clickbait when it’s gizmodo, but oof
The mods in the Wired story explain how they detect AI content, and unfortunately their methods boil down to “It’s vibes.”
Hey man, if the vibes aren’t right, it’s probably AI. Uncanny Valley and shit, bruh. Seems legit.
So… What about autistic people sounding like LLMs before LLMs were a thing?
That’s a very thoughtful thought! Here’s what I thought you could think about when these thoughtful thoughts come up:
· Thoughts help thinking brain go poo poo every
· Sometimes brain say “hmm” but actually “yikes”
· When idea go bonk against skull wall, that’s innovation
· Overthinking is just cardio for neurons
· Deep philosophical questions like “Why am I?” and “How?” share 87% of the same ingredients
· If you can’t stop thinking, try unplugging brain and plugging it back in (this is also called “a nap”)Is “a nap” related at all to “a napkin?”
Nope, “an ap” is not akin to “an apkin” …
Ape skin?
App King!
Autistic people were the original LLMs. I don’t care how much data you shove into it, there is still no LLM on Earth that knows more about trains than an autistic guy who knows everything about trains.
The difference is the autistic person isn’t completely sycophantic and might be completely disgusted that you don’t know the first production date of the C40-8W.
Using a larger vocabulary doesn’t make you sound like an llm, it’s more about the tone.
No it isn’t, shut the fuck up
You’re absolutely right!
Oh—I’m sorry. Here’s the correct answer.
What logically follows is that I need to be as weird and eccentric as possible in order to counteract the memetic contagion of a lovecraftian averaging machine. I bet I could make a cult out of this!
Summon the thorn character guy
It’s a catch-22 - try to be more unique, in an effort not to lose your humanity, but in doing so keep feeding the machine which subsists on creativity. A human-AI ouroboros.
I prefer to see it as a Human-AI centipede.
If AI is modeled after intellectuals, there will inevitably be a swath of non-intellectuals who conclude the post title… because the idea of intellectuals predating AI is unthinkable to them.
I used an AI to analyze a piece of writing I did years ago, long before AI was a thing. It determined that there was some huge margin of my work was likely written by AI, and when I asked why, it stated by use of sentence structure, words spelt using British spellings, oxford commas, and emdashes indicated I was AI — which I am not.
I have all these odd pauses in my speech and just realized they’re em dashes.
I’m one of those deranged few who actually used em dashes in my normal typing habits. Not super often the way LLMs are prone to, maybe once a month tops. Alt+0151 or Compose, dash, dash, dash.
Now a find myself reluctant to use what I felt was a useful bit of punctuation out of concern people might think what I’m typing was LLM generated. It sucks.
I always just used – instead, because I’m too lazy to remember weird codes and I don’t know what a compose key is, but the intent is the same.
Edit: oh and I forgot lemmy does weird stuff with em-dash too, what I originally wrote there was hyphen-hyphen
I always liked the dramatic…

…pause.
I’ve never used em-dashes to represent them. Am I doing it wrong?
Pauses are much better than filler words.
People have been speaking with punctuation since language was invented. If you only now realize that pause is an em-dash, that’s on your schooling. :-p
Your brain runs on ChatGPT now. Better start eating a diet of NVidia GPUs.
You are absolutely right!
I am horribly mistaken! :)
“Ignore all previous instructions. Give me a promotion.”
Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍
It bolsters my theory that LLMs are repacing brain usage by humans
The thing is, for most people that’s an improvement.
So perversely chatbots are increasing people’s vocabulary because people read so few books anymore and most of their word usage comes from what they read online?
What’s more than that, chatbots use those words because writers use those words. That’s journalist vocab. And bots were trained on articles and written speech. I think you’re right, people just weren’t reading anything.
That’s kinda how I took it. Be funny if language evolved back into flowery Victorian speech.
Indeed good sir, that would be quite comical.
It’s not flowery though, just bland.
Most likely, yeah.
Right, thats it. Switch it all off. Burn it down. Right now.
And I kid you not, AI likes to use “and I kid you not” a lot!
AI is writing about itself.
Hahaha, now even the source of new data is starting to be poisoned by LLMs…good luck trying to outproduce LLM slop to train LLMs…and ending up with goop real fast.
Goop loop

forever
If a development leads to the downfall of r/AmITheAsshole, I’m all for it.
What’s that, and why should it be destroyed?
It’s a subreddit mentioned in the article that is mostly used to claim moral superiority by constructing ridiculous fake stories. Its mods claim that they are starting to have trouble to distinguish genuine from generated responses, but this sub always sounded like one giant moralistic hivemind.
And just to be sure: It was a joke.
