"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Found a video guide to spotting posts written by LLMs. Thought it might be useful. (www.youtube.com)

TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

  • Use of the em-dash (—)
  • Parallel sentence structure (e.g. "It's not just X, it's Y")
  • Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
  • Delineating line breaks with emojis
  • Odd/unnatural verbiage
  • Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
  • Exaggerated and empty praise
  • Weird analogies and similes
  • Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

  • Including anecdotes
  • Written in the first person
  • Tangents and nonlinear storytelling

I'm not going to stop using em dashes. Find a different indicator!

Semicolons are also an indicator. Who the hell uses those?

I use it occasionally, when writing lists with lots of detail, or to separate parts of the sentence where I already used multiple commas.

there are many thought-provoking ideas about conscience, the human brain, and alien life; yet it is wrapped in a mediocre sci-fi action movie script

It's one piece. You tell me I want to spot cars one thing they have is wheels, I'm not going to immediately assume every bike I see is a car. But taken with other signs it builds a pattern.

Honestly I've found the best way to spot LLM is just use it an absolute crap ton. You'll start to be able to spot it the way you can recognise the style of an author or director.
