> The emojis at the start of each row in the table are also a dead giveaway. What's up with the green checks, red Xs, rockets, and other stupid emoji in AI slop? Is it an artifact from the cheapest place to do RLHF?

It's the linkedin post recommendation AFAIK. The LI algo pushed such posts to the top before. So my leap of thought is that somebody at MS decided that top LI posts is the go-to structure for "good text". I have no proof, sorry.

Imagine if we spent a trillion dollars to turn the internet into infinite degraded copies of LinkedIn. Business influencer spam generated by robots for other robots, with occasional corrections by the cheapest English speakers in the world. That's dark.

Best is very subjective depends what you want it to do and if you want to fine tune and how big you consider small

Let me ask the same with: - runs on a laptop CPU - decide if a long article is relevant to a specified topic. Maybe even a summary of the article or picking the interesting part as specified in prompt instructions. - no fine tuning please. Thank you for any response!

Runs on a laptop. Good at friendly conversational dialogue.

Seems to be. There’s little chance this was written by a human.

You may be underestimating how many people work at Microsoft on documentation and course related material.

Isn't it 0? I've heard MS outsourced all of their development documentation work. And personal everyday experience, I'd say it shows.

In my experience the em dash is still correctly used, the modern style has just evolved to put a space around it. So: * fragment a—fragment b (em dash, no space) = traditional * fragment a — fragment B (em dash with spaces) = modern * fragment a -- fragment b (two hyphens) = acceptable sub when you can’t get a proper em to render But en-dashes are for numeric ranges…

em dash plus spaces is quite rare in English style guides. It’s usually either an em dash and no spaces or an en dash with them.

Apologies, now that I've been Beider-Meinhoff'd, I've realized you're correct and I've been misreading en dashes and em dashes. Thank you!
