With the em dashes and the conclusion "This was not called execution. It was called retirement." I expect a lot of people would believe today that these title cards were written by an LLM.
nphardon•22m ago
There's a lot of em dashes in the article as well, along with some phrasing that is very LLM. I think this was written with a mix of LLM and human.

You're not wrong, but part of the core problem with LLMs is that they write every blog post and README like they're writing the opening titles for Blade Runner.

I would expect the LLM-ese to not repeat "called" like that.
jameshart•5m ago
Thematically appropriate for it to be difficult to tell something human-created from something generated by a computer.

Almost a bit too on the nose.

Also touched on at https://typesetinthefuture.com/2016/06/19/bladerunner/ (and the book)

Somehow, reading this made me feel as though I had been coated in wolverine grease.
