I am very concerned about the long term effects of people developing the habit of mistrusting things just because they’re written in coherent English and longer than a tweet. (Which seems to be the criterion for “sounds like an LLM wrote it”.)




Haha. This is so true. I'm a bit long-winded myself and once got accused of being AI on here. I just don't communicate like Gen Alpha. I read their site and nothing jumped out as AI although it's possible they used it to streamline what they initially wrote.

I am not. More stupid people means it will be easier for me and my family to gone by :)

Wait until the bot herders realize you can create engagement by having a bot complain about texts being LLM-like.
