I’m all for free speech but this sentence structure specifically should be abolished. It’s so LLM.
I'm relatively witty with wordplays and can write pretty well. Before, people thought I was clever. Now, there response is often "ha nice prompt".
Same with being knowledgeable. I just have a good memory, but these days often when someone asks something and I give them a fairly official definition, I get an "okay but now a real answer not the Google AI one". Feels even worse when it's actually you being smart and thinking up the answer based on knowledge.
I'm not really an artist but you see it everywhere on the internet too: people post something, and the first assumption is that it's AI-generated or 80% of the work has been sketched by AI and the final effort was by the human.
Weird times..
Unfortunately, that is increasingly becoming a safe assumption to make. We are flooded by AI-generated content already, which will only increase as these tools become more accessible. The dead internet theory is real. Hopefully we will eventually have failproof methods of distinguishing human-generated content, but so far there is little incentive for it.
*-dash is the neoshibboleth.
Back in the day I learned alt-0151 for a reason, dangit.
[[Meta-HN commentary:
> > You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks.
Fuck you, buddy.
I am in conversation with mods of HN. They know my IP. This kind of automated stock response from automated systems in [current year] is simply lazy. HN deserves better. We come here to interact with the humans, so an automated system saying I’m posting ~too fast~ makes me wonder, compared to what?]]
The reason why people call it the "AI dash" (technically an em dash) is because it is very rarely used in day-to-day writing. You mostly see it in longform things like articles or books.
It's a classic example of "people are good at telling you where the problem is, but wrong about what the problem is". The em dashes are not natural, but they are human. Just the wrong human context.
Overly gushing, effusive, and positive descriptions of products filled with buzzwords. Along with lists of value propositions.
Prior to LLM's existing, marketing pitches sounded like they were written by one. So I can't see how you could possibly determine the difference now.
This is big if they can get in the web2 DNS sysrem. No more constant rent seeking from ICANN to have a domain. No more doxing yourself to ICANN to have a domain.
It’s not permanent. HN does not comply with GDPR in that I can be denied authorship of my comments if my account is deleted. This is contrary to my rights as an author in the EU.
also, I post under my government/slave name. What do you have on the line, anon?
> “This is a bold leap toward an open internet,” said Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains. “.brave puts digital identity in the hands of everyday users, not platforms.”
Huh? How does a branded domain that can only be visited by browsers that support it contribute to an "open" internet? It's literally controlled by corporations and platforms, despite the fact that an individual can technically "own" it.
I do think that BAT is a good step forward for alternative business models on the web. We need more of that and less of this Web3 nonsense.
And no free tls certs like letsencrypt is a huge step back.

Has no one told them it's all about AI now?

Ai powered browser that has ai powered search that builds websites as user starts typing a query. Then the endless loop of finding new and innovative websites all designed from scratch. No two experiences will be same as agents will build on the fly
