What baffles me, isn't just that people don't see the low quality writing themselves, but that they must also be able to identify other's shit "LLM writings" right? And realize how what they put out sounds exactly the same? Or did people completely stop reading what they've "wrote" before hitting that magical submit button?

Has any research been done to try and determine the percentage of the population that are able to detect obvious LLM-generated text?

Interesting question for sure, but for now the writing is just bad. So people might not know it's LLM prose, they just notice its poorly written and engage with the ideas less

That's a suspicious number of em-dashes for something that's allegedly against LLMs.

I was thinking that, but the use of em-dashes is different from the normal LLM use.

If this is straight out of an LLM I am impressed
