    That’s why I fill my points with insults and constant profanities. Can’t fucken accuse my borderline insane and blatantly violent rhetoric of being bots because im pretty sure my pros are bit shit. Also could a bot do this, you can now feel that post burn sensation on your tongue.

    What an astute observation! You are absolutely right, many people can confuse well written responses as AI and that can be frustrating. Simplifying the language is a great way to make your text seem more personal and human. Let me know if you need help with anything else!

    also me when people accuse me of being ai slop for using em dashes just because big tech trained their models by stealing authors work.

      There was a comment that was a list of 15 items and some chud called it AI slop. Because it was an organized list?

      em dashes are typographical faffery and have always been (in my opinion) a marker of writers who take themselves, and the surface level of their style, far too serious.

      just use commas, my friend

          dashes cannot always replace commas, but commas can replace dashes.

          thus - commas are more powerful

            Amusingly enough, one use case for em dashes is a pause where a comma would be too weak — refuting your assertion.

            Also, you used a hyphen.

              not actually a hyphen, a minus (not that this matters to me in the slightest)

              I’m sorry, but “the pause is too weak” sounds squarely in the area of faffery to me.

                It’s more along the lines of the comma is too weak for the pause. Likewise, there are places where the em dash is too strong for the pause.

      I like to use em, but I’m too lazy to tye them so I just use two regular dashes (–) which I guess I haven’t seen an LLM do yet.

      Its actually wild to me that people who use LLMs don’t edit the output to make it look like it was not generated.

      For me, the greatest giveaways are the emojis and bad formatting.

      just swap them out with semicolons; no one knows how they’re supposed to work anyway

        Semicolons should separate related ideas; they should work as independent sentences though.

        Em dashes–contrary to how most people use them–are for asides or supplementary information. I also see them used to show a conclusion–a direct response to a prior statement that doesn’t seem appropriate to put in a new sentence.

          Best choice is to switch out the em dashes for parentheses ( even where that doesn’t make any sense.

      Teaching myself to stop using the em dash has been a real pain. It helps with the flow of reading particularly when talking about technical content. I’ve gone back to the semicolon, sadly.

        They’ll parrot back whatever attitude you’re talking to them in. I’ve seen screenshots of other people using them and the way they were talking was completely different from how they talk to me. I also get the monotone informational version.

        It can get really fucked up actually and contributes to people humanizing the chatbot.

      If someone thinks your comment is AI, they’ll call it “slop” regardless of the actual quality, because they believe it wasn’t written by a person to begin with.

      I wish the pro-ai crowd had a thoughtful bone in their fucking body. Besides destroying the environment there’s a list of horrible problems this shit is causing. How dare anyone care about problems though amirite?

        Daily reminder that the carbon footprint was invented by big oil so we’d blame each other. Do what you can for now, but the problem will only be fixed by systemic change that internalizes the cost of pollution.

          I am not annoyed by anything on here except the people who are extreme assholes about ai in every context, which isn’t much of the content I’m seeing. The dude whining above is basically the inverse of those. He seems to be 100% onboard with this shit and I find that way more annoying

              Then why did you do exactly that by generalizing?

              Edit: Just noticed you aren’t the idiot who generalized. You’re a completely separate idiot who decided to parachute down and be rude without context.
