#2I've been on a crusade against sloppy use of AI recently. A conversation between my brother and I spawned the idea of "emoji reaction dog whistles" and I couldn't stop thinking about the idea until I wrote it down. Not meant to be taken very seriously, but not entirely UNseriously either

#3A lot of obvious LLM speech is obvious, but please spare us academics and former academics who learned how to use an em- and en-dash properly. Proper writing in general is being derided by younger folks who are too uneducated to tell the difference. I recently had someone claim my company's website, which is virtually unchanged since 2020, was "obviously AI." Yeah, kid, except you can go on Internet Archive and see it before ChatGPT was dropped.
But it doesn't matter. It's just playing chess with pigeons at that point.

I share your sentiment of not being overly judgmental when you see an en/em dash but this feels overly reductive and hostile:

There are legitimate differences in writing styles between age groups and cultures and being overly prescriptive in what is “right” vs “wrong” doesn’t help your argument IMO

#5The irony of someone writing a blog post purely to rage-bait (or rage-engage?) against "slop grenades." Slop grenades can also be made by humans you know, and I'd argue this post is at least a flashbang.

#6I just started referring to those coworkers as Claude directly. Not like, at the start of the message, but after the first line? Nobody’s noticed yet.

I’m a particular fan of the ai-for-brains emoji in Slack

#9This type of mentality is really not helping anyone. If you really think shaming people works, I don't know what planet youve been on for the past 10 years. And I reallllly dont trust any of you to accurately determine intent lol.
The people going around pointing fingers about AI often get it wrong. Just listened to a podcast in which the host baselessly accused a film studio of using AI in their marketing and they later had to apologize because GUESS WHAT? An actual artist with feelings made the poster she was talking about. I'd honestly rather let a hundred AI fraudsters off the hook than falsely accuse one person of using it when they actually made a genuine effort.
