Tons of people on the internet write in this style. I did, frequently, well before ChatGPT.
That’s where LLMs got the habit from, then inbred it into each other. Dare I say it may have bled back into human writing too.
Personally, I’d want to block “is this or is this not AI” threads on Lemmy. I’m sick of people thinking they’re human LLM/diffusion detectors when that is (outside of obvious cases, or logit watermarks) physically impossible.
I’m not being condescending at all and your comment makes perfect sense in isolation. It’s stupid to call out a single construction (or punctuation mark) as you’re interpreting me as having done. I’m just assuming you’re smart enough to see a pattern when you see it repeated often enough; so sorry, I guess?
Same with some replies in my inbox. I see a lot of semicolons, “not X but Y” formats, OpenAI purple prose, stuff I might suspect as slop in specific contexts, but I’m not pointing fingers over it unless it seems like they are actually trying to spam something. There’s no way I can tell if an LLM was used with reasonable certainty.
Perhaps I’m unreasonably agitated by this. But I don’t like the idea of a “purity test” for writing style; the Tech Bros that are forcing that paranoia on us don’t deserve one ounce of our attention.
The posts you make are pretty good conversation starters; why don’t you see if you can get by without leaving a seed comment if you can’t write one yourself?
The very fact that you believe that shows just how much you still have to learn. It’s no coincidence that even top universities have stopped their witch hunts. Or perhaps you should just work on the way you express yourself?
Anyone can read the seed comments on your posts and come to the same conclusion. This isn’t picking a sequence of unlikely noun-adjective pairs, it’s a consistent pattern across all your first comments. You’re obviously (?) a person and can think and write for yourself, so why are you having LLM do the work for you?
Someone mentioned you have a side hustle selling social media AI, so you might want to disclose any bias you have about forbidding people from calling you out for using Gen AI.
It’s not X, it’s Y.
Is there a way to block a users comments without blocking their posts? This bot is responsible for like 60% of the traffic of this sub.

I’m not screaming about an em-dash. Look at the first comment they make on their posts and come back and tell me what you think.
I also dislike this sort of condescending tone on forums. I’m guilty of it too, but it never makes me want to engage.

I wasn’t involved here, got curious, did look and… Yeah it’s odd. An awful lot of commonality.
So is there in my history.

It would be even better if there were fewer insolent block wardens and more active participants.

It’s a shame my comments are too much for you. Perhaps you’ll learn something over time?
Learn what? I can already identify comments written by LLMs.
something tells me you are the exact type of idiot that believes that a proper educated person sounds like a bot and therefore is a bot.
comment edited and put in lower caps only so you don’t accuse me of being a bot too.

Dear Eicker,
Please, continue to piss off witch hunters while drumming up real thought provoking conversations. Keep doing whatever you are doing.
Sincerely, Everyone who still believes in Intelligent Communication and Critical Thinking.
