Not to boast but this will surpass many an intricate topic and you should strategically delve into it before it garners meticulous attention.

#252The box of pandora has been opened now. There’s no going back. In a few decades writing long texts all by yourself is going be an artisan thing that only a few people will engage in. You will put together your arguments, and an llm will elaborate it. Will humanity become more dumb? Did we get dumber because we don’t do calculus by hand now?

#253I intentionally put spelling mistakes in my doc to let others know I'm not using ChatGPT. What a time to be alive in which small spelling or grammar mistake is a good sign of authenticity.
ChatGPT makes spelling mistakes too.

#254That’s a great observation!

Genuine question, do you actually use the formal emdash in your writing? AIs are very consistent about using the proper emdash—a double long dash with no spaces around it, whereas humans almost always tend to use a slang version - a single dash with spaces around it. That's because most keyboards don't have an emdash key, and few people even know how to produce an actual emdash. That's what makes it such a good givea…
I always used to google search "emdash unicode" and copy-paste the character, but I guess now I'll save several minutes from my essay-writing by switching to the lazy single-dash typology that I don't like the look of. Soon I'm going to have to start throwing in speling errors and other things too.
Mmm interesting point. The age of introducing error to prove humanity is upon us.

I have a Compose key binding in https://github.com/kragen/xcompose which maps Compose Space Minus to "—" with two thin spaces on each side of it, because I prefer the spaces. But HN rewrites the thin spaces to regular spaces, so on HN I just use "—" without the spaces, the way ChatGPT does, which is Compose Minus Minus Minus, and is in the standard Compose key bindings (if you map your keyboard to have a Compose key…
I use space-hyphen-hyphen-space because I'm always switching between systems and keyboards -- it works well enough.

#257"Recent large-scale upticks in the use of words like “delve” and “intricate” in certain fields, especially education and academic writing, are attributed to the widespread introduction of LLMs with a chat function, like ChatGPT, that overuses those buzzwords." OK, but please don't do what pg did a year or so ago and dismiss anyone who wrote "delve" as AI writing. I've been using "delve" in speech for 15+ years. It's…
Same thing as with em dashes. Some of us have been using em dashes from before ChatGPT.
I think it's easier to just stop using em dashes, as much as I like them. People have latched on to this because it works a good amount of the time, so I don't think they will stop. I don't even think they should stop, because, well, it works a good amount of the time.

Reddit and HN are among the highest quality sources of training text and are probably weighted very heavily as "probably human" in the mainstream models. Any source of text with huge amounts of automated and community moderation will be better quality than, say, Twitter.
Reddit is anything but high quality.
That depends heavily on the subreddits you browse. There absolutely are places with high quality content, though it feels like they are getting sparser and sparser.

I tried but chatGPT either makes too many mistakes making me look stupid or completely ignore my prompt.
I asked Gemini flash for a 200-word paragraph on a random topic, which most people would confidently classify as LLM-generated. It produced a verbose, big-worded, third-person slop about the concept of time that IMO fulfilled my prompt (although a phillosopher firnd of mine would be a strong contestant). > The concept of "time" is a multifaceted and complex topic that has captivated philosophers, physicists, and ever…
The example you posted for "human writing" confirms my experience that this just makes the AI sound like a stoner-bro.
