Too long can I have AI make a Tik Tok dance out of the post

"Do you people all have brain injuries? AI writing is almost comically easy to detect"

Some can't and that's fine. I also find it comically easy to detect, but it's a kind of pattern recognition, a skill that takes a bit of investment of time and energy on some internal disposition. It also operates on the unconscious: if it feels off it might well be off. Like map reading, or like listening to jazz, some people just don't can't seem to do it and that's fine. Most people around me can't read code and thats fine.

Also: some others don't care about what they see or how they write and levels of literacy are also lowering, and some others are enthusiastic users of the new technology so have to protect their investment.

An incendiary clickbait title, and indulgent writing style turned me off. I understand the author’s point and to an extent agree. But I also can’t help thinking that these people plant a flag in the sand while the world just moves on by, leaving them increasingly out of touch.

>”This is why you can still ask an AI to tell you about the scene in VS Naipaul’s Dashed Against the Rocks in which a donkey is thrown from a hot air balloon”

Well, I did ask Gemini (3.1 Pro) that question verbatim and it wasn’t fooled in the least. People who rail against LLMs for hallucinations like that always read to me like people who haven’t used it since writing off chat got 2.5.

> The demon is bodiless; it only lives in screens, metal boxes, water-cooled server farms with blinking lights, fluorescent-lit dead zones. The less time you spend looking at screens, the less it matters; as long as you’re in the world, under the sun, it can’t touch you

I was recently looking for a place to eat with my wife, I think 30% of restaurants fronts are AI generated now, and when they're not you can be sure the pictures on the menu are.

It's so soulless, I can't take any of these places seriously... We ended up in a small Asian restaurant, semi open kitchen, one dude doing service and cooking, he barely spoke the language, the menu had like three 2012 smartphone camera tier pictures, most of the dishes had a 5 word description, with typos, and no picture, it was perfect.

The post is aggressive.

I was about to dislike it, then I realized: the author's aggression comes off as... human.

I don't know if the aggression itself is an intentional mockery of the cool, dispassionate, pseudo-poetic tone that AI mostly writes in.

But the passionate visceral disgust is definitely human.
