Don’t let AI dictate the way you write!
We’ve all got a personal and unique typing style just as we do in our spoken language.
Have you ever been writing something and then thought to yourself, “fuck I kinda sound like AI”, and then rephrase it?
I’m here to say fuck that shit, write how you want to! Don’t let Sam Altman et al. dictate the fucking English language (or any language for that matter)!
If you’re being accused of using AI it likely means one of five things:
- You just said something really fucking stupid.
- You just said something interesting enough that people assume you couldn’t have known it.
- You made some shit up out of thin air
- You’re arguing about AI with another AI
- You used AI cause your brain don’t work so good on its own.
No matter what category you fall under, just own it. The internet is shitty enough, we don’t need to be worrying about self-censoring for fear of being whipped by the cult of daddy Altman and granddaddy Huang.
OK, maybe the em dash is fucked, but we can’t win 'em all!
It’s kind of fascinating that there’s a specific AI style of writing which people can recognize now. This is going to be someone’s linguistics dissertation.
10000% and that’s a dissertation I would want to check out.
But they’re trying to mask it. The OpenAI voice model added random stutters and breaks in speaking to make it sound more “human” but instead it just sounds like a dude high on mushrooms trying to hold a conversation.
Not to mention how moronic it is to make AI less useful just to fool people into thinking it’s more than it actually is.
Not a dissertation, but here you go:

… with many clear examples.
I still use the em dash, for precisely your reasons above!
Good! Glad to hear it!!
Yeah, I mean there’s some more reasons to accuse someone of using AI. Fro example repetitive stuff that doesn’t really say anything meaningful. Or if a post sounds 100% like some Reddit stereotype. Or is copied from another place and slightly rephrased. And ChatGPT has a distinctive way of writing. If you always start with a reaffirmation, then point out there’s two sides to each coin and then lose it in some borderline correct, borderline incorrect ramblings… It’ll just sound like ChatGPT to me. I can’t help it! More often than not it’ll turn out it’s a bot. But I’m not correct all the time.
Clues like someone saying something interesting, or exceptionally stupid would count more towards the human indicators, to me.
Dunno. I guess we have to put up with it.
For sure I was being a bit silly, but the point remains. Let’s wait for this bubble to collapse ala the dotcom bubble. If this shit keeps up after that, then maybe it’s time to retire from the internet as we know it. Sounds far-fetched but there’s always a breaking point
Hehe, though a point I’d like to add to the discussion: The internet didn’t get any better after the dotcom collapse. On the contrary, it kind of got worse… I have a hunch this might be the same. So better prepare, and brace for impact, don’t just wait. 😄
True that, it definitely got worse. But a lot of moronic companies also went out of business when people realized the idea behind it was not valuable at all.
Some people are overly obsessed with their AI witch-hunt they’ve committed their entire life to it.
Yeah, it’s good to have an eye for spotting AI generated content, but it’s also so easy to misfire. Just ignore these people.
