Can you give an example of long-form writing that sounds like this from before 2024?

I read this article about a week ago. Did you read my reply? I am interested in natural false positives (ones not written to fool the classifier.)

I agree Pangram's UI is awful and often misleading. Their underlying classifier model is pretty accurate in my experience, though, at least in the sense that it has very few natura…

I'm generally quite open to the possibility that I'm wrong. I said 100% for this one because it is tooth-grindingly obvious. Could you give me some examples of long-form writing li…

"And when the floor goes, the thing that decides what is worth keeping is no longer the cost of making it." I'm 100% confident that a human did not write this sentence unless they …

Can you give some examples of Pangram false positives? Ideally ones from before 2024, or otherwise ones from notable writers who started writing before 2024.

Can you give some examples of your writing that trigger "100% AI" on pangram? I'm very interested in studying pangram's false positives. Especially if it's something published befo…

I do not watch podcasts or news videos. I am basing my opinions on the content he writes in his free 5-10,000 word blog posts.

For the record, I agree that the generative AI industry might collapse. But I think Ed Zitron is ideologically committed to this belief in a way that is not a reflection of the evi…

His history of predictions about LLMs is not great and he generally seems ideologically committed to pretending they're almost useless and teetering on the edge of collapse. For ex…

It seems like you got bored halfway through and had an LLM write the second half of your post? You know there isn't a minimum length for blog posts, right? You can just stop writin…

No, I think it is the work of many dozens of people, not one person. It's probable that LLM text was pasted directly into early drafts of the document, and plausible that some of t…

Do you have specific examples you think are LLM-generated? I have only read a few parts, but they did not seem primarily LLM-generated to me. Using em-dashes is really not a good s…

This will keep happening until we stop people from doing it.

odd you would spend so long researching this, yet choose not to write it yourself. The LLM tone is tacky and distracting.

If just one of any number of millenarian cults live up to their promise then in 5-10 years we can play any game we want with Jesus up in heaven.

Maybe it isn't deliberate! I was asking out of curiosity. This reads as extremely LLM-y to me, so if it was purely human-written I am curious about the process.

What did you mean by "they will be as easy with it as you are with the light switch you never once thought about"? What does it mean to be easy with a light switch?

> "they will be as easy with it as you are with the light switch you never once thought about." This metaphor doesn't really feel coherent. > "What is dying is acquaintance." This …

It is interesting that your recent posts have much more LLM style tics than your post on the same site from 2023. Are you deliberately imitating LLM writing quirks?

>The difficulty was the knowledge. Please write your blog posts yourself. I don't want to have to parse through this stupid claude output to get to your point. Literally just posti…
