Wow. What a good giveaway. I wonder what others there are. I occasionally use bullet points, emdashes (unicode, single, and double hyphens) and words like "delve". I hate it think these are the new heuristics. I think AI is a useful tool (especially image and video models), but I've already had folks (on HN [1]!) call out my fully artisanal comments as LLM-generated. It's almost as annoying as getting low-effort LLM…
Use two dashes instead of an actual em dash. ChatGPT, at least, cannot do the same--it just can't.
ChatGPT: "Hold my beer..."
Re: It's rude to show AI output to people
#83The author was thinking "boring and uninteresting" but settled on the word "rude." No, it's not rude. Emailing your co-workers provactive political memes or telling someone to die in a fire is rude. Using ChatGPT to write and being obvious about it marks you as an uninteresting person who may not know what they are talking about. On the other hand, emailing your prompt and the result you got can be instructive to oth…

No in fact I disabled my TabNine Llm until I can either train my own similar model and run everything locally or not at all.
Furthermore the whole selling point has been that anyone can use them _without needing to learn anything_.
Re: It's rude to show AI output to people
#84It's deeply sad to me that I will never again be able to read a message from someone and know, for sure, that it was written by them themselves.
I'm guessing that you've never actually lived in that world...
When I got squggily written cursive letters from my grandma I could be pretty sure those were her words though up by herself, for the effort to accurately reproduce the consistent mess she made would have been great. But the moment we moved to the typewriter and then other digital means uniformly printed out on paper or screens you've really just assumed that it was written by the human you were expecting.
Furthermore, the vast majority of communications done in business long before now were not done by 'people' per say. They were done by processes. In the vast majority of business email that I type out there is a large amount of process that would not occur if I were talking to a friend. Moreso this communication is facilitative to some other end goal. If the entire process that existed could be automated away humanity would be better off as some mostly useless work would be eliminated.
Do you know why people are so willing to use AI to communicate with each other? Because at the end of the day they don't give two shits about communicating with you. It's an end goal of receiving a paycheck. There is no passion, no deep interest, no entertainment for them in doing so. It's a process demanded of them because of how we integrate Moloch into our modern lives.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding - but I don't think LLM's say cow-orkers. Or is that what you mean?
As this error seems to be going back a lot longer then LLMs existed (17 yrs), it could be an auto in-correct situation. Might be incorrectly saved in some spell check software and occasionally rearing it's head

This goes back a loooooong while.
Re: It's rude to show AI output to people
#86A lot of the reason why I even ask other people is not to get a simple technical answer but to connect, understand another person's unexepected thoughts, and maybe forge a collaboration –– in addition to getting an answer of course. Real people come up with so many side paths and thoughts, whereas AI feels lifeless and drab. To me, someone pasting in an AI answer says: I don't care about any of that. Yeah, not a pers…
It’s the conversational equivalent of “Let me google that for you”.
I think the issue is that about half the conversations in my life really shouldn't happen. They should have Googled it or asked an AI about it, as that is how I would solve the same problem.
It wouldn't surprise me if "let me Google that for you" is an unstated part of many conversations.

How is that a “giveaway”? The search turns up results from 7 years ago before LLMs were a thing? More than likely it’s auto correct going astray. I can’t imagine an LLM making that mistake
Re: It's rude to show AI output to people
#89While I understand this sentiment, some people simply suck at writing nice emails or have a major communication issue. It’s also not bad to run your important emails through multiple edits via AI.
Seems like there are potential privacy issues involved in sharing important emails with these companies, especially if you are sharing what the other person sent as well.

Oh I see the confusion then. It's not an error, it's a joke, and a very old one at that. Like saying Micro$oft.
