#2> Suspicions aroused, I clicked on the “Document History” button in the top right and saw a clean history of empty document – and then wham – fully-formed plan, as if it had just spilled out of someone’s brain, straight onto the screen, ready to share.
This isn't always a great indicator.
I can't stand Google Docs as an interface to write with, so use VIM and the copy/paste the completed document into it.

It's bizarre to me that this didn't occur even slightly to the post author.

#4I don’t really find it better when someone ads a disclaimer. What am I supposed to do then? There’s still an expected default behavior of reading it, and if I don’t I need to confront them and say “I don’t care what you got an LLM to say, why not give me your view”. It’s inappropriate under any circumstances imo

This
When I receive a PR, of course it’s natural an AI is involved.
The mortal sin is the rubber stamp.
If they haven’t read their own PR, I only have so many warnings in me. And yes, it is highly visible.

yep, emacs, version control that doesn't suck, all my notes in one place. I'll copy and paste what I need to share into whatever hellscape you want to live in, but my copy will remain safe.

I also interact with Google Docs as little as possible. I draft in Notes or Obsidian and copy the text in. I just hate the platform.

As with many other things (em dashes, emojis, bullet lists, it's-not-x-it's-y constructs, triple adjectives, etc) seeing any one of them isn't a tell. Seeing all of them, or many of them in a single piece of content, is probably the tell.
When you use these tools you get a knack for what they do in "vanilla" situations. If you're doing a quick prompt, no guidance, no context and no specifics, you'll get a type of answer that checks many of the "smells" above. Getting the same over and over again gets you to a point where you can "spot" this pretty effectively.

Right. Certainly not dispositive.

But he did mention tables. You'd think if they weren't just ASCII art, there'd be _some_ google docs history about fixing them up.

#10This will all devolve to people submitting LLM work to people who can't tell (or don't care) that it's LLM work.
