    A subtle tell for generated text is just how damn flat it is to read. Not that technical documentation require some form of grand prose, but how unspecific the text can truly get. …

    I've used this site for years, I originally found it off their subreddit. When they finally moved to a dedicated site it really improved the whole user experience from whatever red…

    Yet at the same time "towards" does not equate to "nearing". Relative terms for relative statements. Until there's a light at the end of the tunnel, we don't know how far we've got…

    I think part of this is due to the AI craze no longer being in the wildest west possible. Investors, or at least heads of companies believe in this as a viable economic engine so t…

    I think you underestimate the willingness of people to pay to troll, it may filter out people but an app that was (in theory) meant to be secure shouldn't think of a problem as fil…
