Well, they're now training AI on reddit, so...
I think they intentionally added "natural" typos to AI text ages ago so it's harder to spot?
i was shocked when my article on Adorno and Scruton comparison got rejected because "it reeked AI" even though AI sucks VERY-VERY HARD at analyzing and interpreting philosophy beyond NotebookLM literally retelling the uploaded book. it is so bad there is basically an entire subgenre of philosophy writing analyzing how various AI get it wrong
Emagine being in an academic filed, and AI being trained off your research papers, so it has the same writing style as you. Give me my em dashes back.
Seeing artists and animators who have been doing their thing long before AI getting demonitized or deleted with accusations of using AI to generate their work is really starting to piss me the fuck off.
At a art exhibit, this poor artist with over 20 years of work had to put a "Not AI" sticker. He was sick of all the dick heads.
I’ve gotten this a lot. I was also on early Reddit a lot so I guess AI probably just writes like I do, not the other way around
That's interesting. I was permabanned in the Inauguration Bloodbath after 12 years, and a million karma. I was VERY active, back when nobody had really heard of Reddit. Because my end was sudden, I never had the chance to delete anything, so they got it all.

There are ways of telling whether she is an AI.
What are AIs mode out of?
Silicon!
What else is made out of silicon?
Breast implants!
So logically if she weighs the same as a breast implant...
I was gonna say they're: "Spelled differently (true) and are distinct, unrelated materials (false!)". So I ended up correcting myself.
Silicone is literally made from silicon. Manufacturing starts with silica (SiO₂, found in sand/quartz), which is reduced to elemental silicon, then reacted with methyl chloride to form methylchlorosilanes, which are then polymerized into silicone.
The name "silicone" was actually coined in 1901 by English chemist Frederick Kipling, who thought the compounds R₂SiO resembled ketones (hence "-one" suffix) — the naming turns out to be a bit of a misnomer chemically, but it stuck.
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
Your writing reflects a higher than normal degree of literacy. Ergo, AI use detected.
That, or my man really loves a bullet point and an emdash.
I love using emdashes in my papers, but I stopped because of AI
It’s fine, I use em dashes all the time in papers. If you do it correctly—to add more information or commentary to your overall point—instead of at random and without proper syntax you’re not going to get accused.
Don't let LLMs take your em dashes; flattening your language to the lowest common denominator to avoid doing anything too distinctive less you be accused of non-authorship.. that's a real harm to you and your reader. If you know how to use them, and enjoy using them, use them fearlessly.
I am in this picture and i dont like it
It’s actually the opposite. AI writing sounds like corpo-speak. It’s soulless, ugly, and extremely obvious.
I’ve spent about 30,000 hours reading in my life. If you think I can’t tell you’re using a token predictor for your “essay,” you’re fucking insane.
As someone who has retired from the practice of law and billed clients more than 30,000 hours for legal research over the years, I can assure you that soulless corpo-speech has been around far longer than AI and used to be created organically by depressed human drones and sociopaths. Where do you think the AIs learned to write that way?

Might be doing a masters next year and god I hope that isnt a problem. Im sure it will be, but one can hope
Personally, if I had that shit pulled on me, I would probably demand to know their process of grading papers. Because from what I've been reading, a lot of teachers and lecturers are starting to use AI tools to assist them.
And as far as I'm concerned, if I have paid an absolute fucking fortune to be there and be taught by human beings, I'm expecting them to actually do their fucking jobs and not hand it off to Elon Musk's plagiarist CP machine. Especially if they're going to be going around accusing students of using AI.
My mother is a professor and hates AI. She works at a community college and the amount of shit she has to go through is unbelievable. Her college actively pushes her to use AI but she doesn't whenever possible. She's struggling with AI more than any other person I know of.
Teachers are rarely the problem.
I'm starting a master's in a few weeks, and because most of the courses involve group work, I'm concerned about someone in my group sinking a project for everyone else by using an LLM for their portion.
And given the program, I wouldn't be surprised if there are more than a few AI boosters in the courses who will try it, above the normal number of such people you might find in postgrad studies.

Nobody who reads or writes for a living thinks AI slop sounds good. It has a hideous corpo-speak prosody that’s like nails on a chalkboard to professionals.
People think because they can’t tell it’s not written by a human, someone who has read literally tens of thousands of essays (not to mention millions of fucking book pages) can’t tell either.
Absolutely bonkers.
Students who use AI are like little kids standing on each others shoulders in a trench coat and trying to order alcohol.
Pry those em dashes from my cold, dead hands, Louise.
The clankers will never sway me from my em dashes, my oxford commas, and my semicolons; they are my precious.
The old witchcraft trial.
If the paper is so badly written that it fails then it will be declared AI-free. (If she drowns then she wasn't a witch)
It's like being accused of aimboting in a competitive shooter. I just take it as a compliment.
