  • That’s the issue with this genie, his form of fucking with your wishes is selectively granting them with the least possible effort. “I wish to be an astronaut!” Nah, try again. “I wish I had a model of the Saturn V?” Best I can do is this picture from Wikipedia

    “I wish for Elon Musk to fuck off forever!” Free will or something. “I wish I never had to see him again?” Wish granted, there’s now a block button on twitter

    “I wish for a million bucks!” I can’t afford that. “I wish for a hundred bucks?” Here’s a crisp fiver. Bye forever!

    Hey fr though, the issue is that yes, they’re trained on human writing, but that training lacks any context, so you have mfs writing stories like passages out of a fanfic when they’re posting on /r/TrueOffMyChest. They also aren’t real people, so they can’t write genuinely realistic stories; it’s always “my neighbor secretly left food in front of my door and I ate it for 2 years without knowing anything about them” and “I drove 2 hours both ways for a job paying $16/hr in San Diego”

    If we’re talking about just using em-dashes and ellipses, yeah. But there are tells, like em-dashes or ellipses in… weird spots, where a human would never use them. Anyways, they also use “anyways” after not going on tangents all the time—and they have an unquenchable thirst for ending a passage with a pithy one-liner.

    They haven’t beaten the Turing test yet.



  • Yeah, that rubs me the wrong way. I’ve never been diagnosed with anything because that costs money, but if you told me there was a pill I could take that would make my brain work something close to normal, I’d trade almost anything for it

    Like yeah there’s obviously nothing wrong with having ADHD or depression or autism, and also your quality of life is significantly worse if you can’t bring yourself to make phone calls or wake up before noon or remember to brush your teeth every day






  • I use the em-dash a lot. It’s not just about the presence of one, the issue is that LLMs know they exist but don’t know where they go. It’s sort of like a semicolon, which goes where neither a comma nor a period feel right. An em-dashes simply goes where neither comma nor period nor semicolon feels right

    Edit: I should clarify, that’s simply how I use them. I’m not smart enough with words to know stuff like “parenthetical clauses” or w/e. Point being, AI just throws them in like they’re sentence enhancers

    On my keyboard, I just click the button on the bottom left to see punctuation, and then long-press the hyphen
