I will repeat this as many times as I need to: no matter how terrible you think your writing is, I would far rather read it than anything that came out of an LLM.

@amin Reading articles written by AI can be interesting — spotting AI articles can be fun for some people.
It's not just that they sound robotic or remove all personal associations, there's lots of other ways to tell such as:

  • use of em-dashes (often overuse of them)
  • use of "It's not just", "not only" sentence structures
  • lists of three

(This post was written by a human, in an attempt at satire in the tone of AI)

P.S. I agree. I'd always prefer to read an article full of poor spelling and grammar than a dull and robotic supposed fact dump

@amin i recently pointed out to one of my clients that an article they had "written" and put in their newsletter was clearly written by AI

It contained 14 em-dashes. Don't get me wrong, em-dashes have a purpose, but when they said "no I typed them" I responded, "OK, type me an em-dash now on your keyboard"
Long story short, they couldn't.

@paul

I mean, it's possible that the software they used converts "--" to "—", but if they didn't present that in their own defenses, it's not likely they realized.

@amin good point. I wonder if I can find the original somewhere, I'd love to compare with the published version

(They did admit it's AI adjusted in the end by the way!)
