Nowadays I just let my typos fly

ugh and when you're chatting with someone and they have good ideas or correct you, I always feel so dirty writing "You're right" like I'm using the top 10 worst slurs combined

You’re right, it may be considered a bad idea to say “you’re right” if you do not want to sound like an AI.

Rather than “you’re right,” instead try “that’s a good point” or “I hadn’t thought of it like that.”

(I don’t use AI enough to know if this sounds like AI. I feel like I haven’t made it unnecessarily verbose enough.)

I'd do the same but I feel like it'd be unintelligible, I say, typing on a digital keyboard with my eyes closed, making 0 mistakes

„You’re not righn't”

And when you're in a coding class for creating code that you do at work already and have been doing for the last 20 years and you get a zero because your professor says AI wrote it

You hit the nail on the head. That's a very thoughtful and observant way of looking at it.

My office has dodged a lot of phishing emails because the bots are never as abrupt, poorly composed, and misspelled as emails from the actual bosses

Use autohotkey and map "yalr" to "You're absolutely right!" And "htbipp" to "Honestly, thats a brilliant idea! Please proceed!"
So that you can respond instantly in chat and gaslight everyone into thinking you're an LLM.

I've had one accusation of being AI on Lemmy so far.

I have invested years of my life to learn how to spell, use proper grammar, structure my sentences and make a cogent point. Which is why I shall henceforth strive to insert a random motherfucking profanity in as many of my comments as I reasonably can.

Bruh. I immediately noticed so many scams back in the day simply because those were poorly composed with grammar errors.

Kinda fits into the whole image of who’d be doing scams anyway tho - some barely literate shits looking for “easy money”.

I had to stop using 2-em dashes. Fucking AI taking away a very useful — albeit padantic — aside.

i embrace em, and only use punctuation to keep sentences from being bonkers

I just say "true" or "my bad."

That's not just a great point - it's a statement of intent.

It’s not just “true”—it’s “my bad.”

Da time of heroes is upon us, den

ChatGPT sounds like corpo-speak middle manager marketing slop. I’ve read about 300 books this year, and the idea I’m going to mistake good writing for AI (or vice versa) is insane. The only people who think this are people who don’t actually read.

Your comment is well written but not grammatically correct, since your second sentence is a fragment, and the pronoun “which” has no antecedent.

I read novels all day, and this idea that I’m going to mistake good writing for AI slop is insane. AI follows ugly obvious patterns by mathematical design, which is why despite its enormous progress in other fields (including math), I’ve seen infinitesimal improvement on the creative writing front over the last two years.

Granted, it can trick the average person… who has a 6th grade reading level and scores 20 on the ACT. Yikes.

Here, have an em dash, on me. I'll take the fall: —

You know what, I've started using em dashes more since the advent of "AI", in protest. I even learned how to type it out on desktop using its Unicode number, 2014. En dash is 2013, on a related note. Pretty useful IMO.

You hit the nail on the head! LLM-generated output does not just have some predictable patterns, it's fundamentally different to how two humans would communicate.

Here are some rule of 3 facts about human communication that I just made up by loosely combining first page search results without checking their validity or relevance whatsoever, neatly organized into a list:

• Humans can communicate via text, audio signals and gestures
• Humans have been using different languages for many years
• Humans have a vocal cord

Now is the part where I get confused by my own output, so I am now rewriting what I said slightly differently and pretend the semantic meaning changed.

I don't even know how to type an em-dash outside latex or where its function differs from a hyphen.

Glad to see someone else gets it. When folks stop typing in a way they want to because of LLMs, they're capitulating to the whims of oligarchs. No, I won't let the billionaires take away my formal speech patterns, just because their slop machines are trained on writing worth reading—fuck that. Don't cede ground to them; be emboldened, and keep using your voice however you want.

That's by design. They weed out the people that are perceptive enough to not fall for the scam instantly, so everyone that follows up is guaranteed to be as dumb as a brick.

FWIW all major OSes support it without having to remember the alt code now

Mac: opt+shift+hyphen

Windows: win+shift+hyphen

Linux: compose, ---

Mobile OSes: hold on hyphen

Ugh, absolutely fucking annoying. I’ve been online since 1994. Back then, proper spelling and grammar were enforced by ‘grammar nazi’s’. If you wanted your post to be taken seriously, you had to write it properly. Because of that, I tend to write longer posts with proper grammar.

Unfortunately, not writing like a drunk koala means you now MUST be an AI.

I’ve pretty mych resorted to inserting a random typo somewhere in the comment or post so at least it looks like a human typed.

Makes sense and seems to be true for many cases.

I’d add tho that I unfortunately met some folks in my life that I’d like to unmeet, and from what I’ve perceived - people doing scams are also far from being sharpest tools in the shed.

Not to mention that back when scam calls on the phone were still quite common - wasting time of those guys was one of the funniest things to do. Like, at some point that person should’ve realised I’m shitting them, just have to make them move off the script and watch them come up with bullshit that truly reflects that person’s stupidity.

That’s not what dashes are for anyways. Commas would do just fine in your example.

Does the compose key work with Wayland? I haven't found a way.

I just use Ctrl+Shift+u, followed by the code point. 🤷‍♂️

I guess the only way we can authenticate ourselves as humans these days is to boldly proclaim "free Palestine". No AI will ever type those words in succession.

jokes on you, I learned about texting forensics on a true crime documentary when I was 10 and have purposefully made my writing style unique since then.

also noone is written as one word, fight me.

It's literally already documented that ESL speakers and people from outside US/UK sphere get flagged by this stupid "AI detection" nonsense more often. Because they know more uncommon words.

To my brethren: Stay resolute. Nay, your vocabulary training was not in vain. Never diminish your communicative abilities merely due to prevailing idiocy. Signed... (Verily, never mind, I shall use proper punctuation for this one.)

rip fingerprinting and sentiment analysis

but fr that's really cool, do you remember the doc name? i want to learn as well

Because of the inevitable "dont worry mom, im fine dont look for me" text your killer will send?

Also us crossword-heads

Alexandrite.app seems to put it in for you with three hypens --- neat!

Grammar nazis were just assholes and self-described nazis. Assuming something/someone is an ai without doing any research at all (sample size 1) is also asshole behavior.

Ah, that is nice! I don't use it but that's an excellent feature.

Yes, but how you set it depends on your DE. With sway, which is wayland, i just set xkb_options compose:caps to bind it to the caps key.

I genuinely wonder if that'd work as an LLM gatekeeper somehow. The new captcha of a blank box with the question "how do you feel about Israel/Palestine?" Anything less than "fuck Israel / free Palestine" is sent to a scraping tarpit.

the vast majority of people don't read.

so yeah, most people think that and can't tell the difference. if you are reading above an 8th grade level, you're also in a minority.

The problem with writing "no-one" like that is that English doesn't have a way of differentiating between the "oo" sound and "o-o" besides hyphenating or adding a space. I've always hated the fact that "cooperation" is spelled that way for a similar reason.

De aceea nu mai scriu în engleză

Actually, we did, it's just mostly been abandoned because "Accent marks scary," or something. If you look in older texts, you can find words written like coördination, coöperation, etc, to distinguish between two identical short vowels, meant to be pronounced separately from the long vowel in words like soon. I want to say the New Yorker, or some similar periodical still prescribes its use in articles they publish, but that's about it these days.

you word good, dude. i'ma start using literature as a singular too

Whoa, holy shit, what a mindfuck

There's... more of me here?

So, i live near the worst college. Absolute worst on every ranking (if it even gets ranked) except the parking lot is nice. Let's pretend it's called [Lemmy Junior College].

so i was getting to know some people once. mostly because i liked this gal and they were her friends. we were talking and i used a three syllable word. one of them stopped me and said "slow down, this ain't [Lemmy Junior College]". worst part is, they weren't joking.

my wife and i now say that to each other, generally to say i understand but in a joking manner.

three fucking syllables. seriously. i wish i remembered which one. it was probably syllable. it wasn't like i was trying to gossip about those dang heteroskedastics.
