“You’re welcome for the education and good home full of books.”

It’s becoming exhausting to avoid all of these commonly used phrases!

I don’t use LLMs.


> It’s becoming exhausting to avoid all of these commonly used phrases!

That's not the only price society pays. It makes sense for us to develop the heuristics to detect AI, but the implication of doing so has its own cost.

It started out as people avoiding the use of em-dash in order to avoid being mistaken for being AI, for example.

Now in the case of OP's observation, it will pressure real humans to not use the format that's normally used to fight against a previous form of coercion. A tactic of capital interests has been to get people arguing about the wrong question concerning ImportantIssueX in order to distract from the underlying issue. The way to call this out used to be to point out that, "it's not X1 we should be arguing about, but X2." Combined with OP's revelation, it is now harder to call out BS. That sure is convenient for capital interests.

I wonder what's next.


As long as we can swear more, we’ll be ok.

X1 is bullshit to argue about, it’s about X2.

Since the models are so censored and “proper” in their grammar, you can pretty easily stand out


I've found swearing to be a pretty decent heuristic for whether I'm talking to an actual person or not. Either it'll remain a decent heuristic or we'll get some Malcolm Tucker-esque LLMs out of it!

I actually liked the em dash. But now I stopped using it. Probably will be good to use soon as AI gets trained to not use it.

Write it as three dashes instead---that's not what an LLM would do and anyone looking close enough will see the difference.

Unfortunately the time each cycle takes from start to finish is measured in months or years, and it's an endless game of whac-o-mole.

Doctors are paid in loads of different ways including profit sharing, RVU-based models, and hourly.

They have an iron bird on srbs and an et on pedestals at SpaceCamp in Huntsville. This is the only reasonable way to display an orbiter outdoors: use a scrap one. The remaining flown orbiters should be preserved indoors, obviously.

Seems like a great reason not to put it all the way out in Texas


If you assume Krugman was talking about a positive impact, it makes sense to make fun of him.

> a big tech company shouldn't decide what people are "allowed" to say

On their platform, that’s exactly what they are entitled to do. When you type into the box in the Facebook app, that’s your speech. But unless the platform wants to add your contribution to their coherent speech product, they have every right to reject it.

Otherwise, the government is deciding what people can say, and you’d be against that, right?

Further, if I wanted to start a social media platform called thinkingtylenolcausesautismisstupid.com, wouldn’t restricting my right to craft my product defeat the whole point of my business?

Giving platforms the ability to moderate their output to craft a coherent speech product is the only reason we have multiple social networks with different rules, instead of one first-mover social network with no rules where everyone is locked in by network effects.


That sounds like a fun product! I’m glad you like it.

Please don’t ever come near me.


> even a seed of doubt

That’s a pretty interesting burden of proof for a nineteen minute old account.
