It’s worked well so far. Most people only send me that slop once.
A 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 i…
I share your sentiment of not being overly judgmental when you see an en/em dash but this feels overly reductive and hostile: > Proper writing in general is being derided by younger folks who are too uneducated to tell the difference. 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
FTA: "Opinions vary on the usefulness of LLMs, but hopefully we can all agree that using them selfishly is cringe."
LLM = Bad, Human = Good
LLM's output can be useful and informed. If your going to deny that then I dont know what to tell you to convince you otherwise.
How about we get back to holding humans accountable, for the LLM's output and their own. I can point you at people who are using LLM's to make actual art, and it is GOOD (strong stories, social commentary and so on). I can point you to lawyers who are using LLM's to great success. Reading and redlining documents is part of being good at the job and trained into them by trade.
Stop blaming the tool for peoples poor behavior.

Are you then in agreement with the author?
This 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 l…
Scroll down past the emojis to the actual interesting part of the article with positive reinforcement, empathy, etc.

Brilliant. I would like to expand this definition slightly in order to include other problematic LLM usage.
> Selfish LLM usage: A situation in which someone uses an LLM to generate text or media which elicits or demands other people's emotional, cognitive or temporal input with the aim of saving similar resources for themselves, resulting in an unfair social exchange.
