It’s kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it’s complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.

Slop or not, it does happen so often now that it does not feel like it’s worth it going online, but it’s worth sharing, I guess, gah.

    It doesn’t read like AI to me at all. I think some people, especially here on Lemmy, are becoming increasingly paranoid lately and think everything they see is AI-generated. I saw a comment here a few days ago where somebody accused an article of being written by AI because the writer used a lot of em-dashes. Like, some dude out there is getting accused of being an AI just because he’s an English major. The amount of distrust in the most trivial of things these days is just wild.

      Did you not read the part where it linked to a affiliate link to a ebook that was written in AI?

      I’m mistaken. I read the article and was confused.

      You are commenting on OP’s take below the link. Apologies.

    The author of that article seems real and makes a decent point. Reddit is infested with that shit nowadays.

    There’s tells I’ve noticed that if something seems to friendly, or formal, and the tone seems too verbose it might be generated. Formatting gives it away as well

      How does formatting give it away?

      I’ve honestly struggled a lot trying to figure out what posts are just chatbot trolls and what posts are people worth trying to create a dialogue with.

      I mean, sometimes posts will say things that seem like they’re intentionally misleading or inherently malicious in some way and it’s like… Is this person for real? Are they trying to push some specific narrative? Or are they just misinformed? Or is this just a chatbot designed to upset people and disrupt online conversations on this subject?

        I’ve noticed they often hedge pretty bad at the end and give some boilerplate “Always rely on professionals or this credential or whatever platitude to avoid bring percrived as giving risky or dealing casually with taboo topic matter”

        YMMV and be sure to consult with your real, friendly neighorhood LLM to balance your understanding and expectations therin

    This didn’t really read like AI slop; and I feel like people are having a psychological break on everything related to AI now.

    I have gone on to prove in various forums many times that misspellings – aren’t AI slop. Aren’t proof that AI is writing things, etc.

    But still it happens. When the wrong grammar or verbiage is used (but context is clearly kept), people jump to “BOT!” – without realizing that AI doesn’t make those mistakes.

    I’m calling it AIDS. AI-Derangement Syndrome. Y’all m’fers have AIDS.

    It’s kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it’s complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.

    It’s like 4chan-anons recounting things and only being able to do it coherently in a greentext style.

    I try to catch myself being too antagonistic or soapbox-y even on Lemmy. I hope we can keep this place interesting enough to discuss stuff on. If bots can somehow emulate really respectful but concise, intriguing and fact-based discussion then, this might be an unpopular opinion but I don’t see that as too much of a problem. It’s that bots have copied overused comment chains and only seem to be product shills or propagandists wrecking the space.

      Did we read the same article? What are you talking about?

      Ah I see. You’re referring to OP’s body text. Sorry about that.

      Yeah OP, wtf. Dude, leave your comments in the comment stream.

    I don’t think the article is AI, but I would be hilarious if it was an AI article written about an AI reddit post and the possible AI written comments on it
