ChatGPT writing a blog post attacking Gemini security flaws. It's their world now, we're just watching how it plays out.
How do you know that this blog post was written by ChatGPT?
It feels generated to me too. It’s this:
When you enable the Gemini API (Generative Language API) on a Google Cloud project, existing API keys in that project (including the ones sitting in public JavaScript on your website) can silently gain access to sensitive Gemini endpoints. No warning. No confirmation dialog. No email notification.Specifically, the last bit - “No warning. No confirmation dialog. No email notification.” Immediately smells like LLM generated text to me. Punchy repetition in a set of 3.
If you scroll through tiktok or instagram you can see the same exact pattern in a lot of LLM generated descriptions.
Using threes is common in English writing and speaking. It has an optimal balance of expressiveness (three marking a pattern or breadth; creating momentum) without being overwhelming.
It’s not uncommon, as basic writing advice, to use sets of three for emphasis. That isn’t a signifier of LLM generation, in my opinion.
This excerpt is demonstrating the use of a literary technique to write non-literary prose. It's an almost sure sign that an LLM is generating the text.
