Trump Admin Drops the Olive Branch from U.S. Seal on New Dime Coins, Keeps the Arrows - Lemmy.World

Misinformation. Totally false. The barest possible technicality that this is happening and Trump is President, yes. But this is not his work.

  • The Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 was primarily the work of Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA). But it was a bipartisan bill
  • The creator of the coin intended it to represent the colonies in the revolution, i.e. yes, a time of war.
  • The final design was approved in 2024 - so if anyone “did” it, it would be Biden
  • In place of the olive branch, the bald eagle is in flight clutching arrows in its talons, with one talon left empty. The empty talon is meant to signify that the colonists were waiting for a peace they had not yet reached.
Why would anyone spend time verifying what a bot said was true?
I’m not a bot and a very quick perusal of my posting history should show that immediately.
I deleted my post because I did exactly that. Your text still reeks of ChatGPT, but it is pretty clear that you aren’t a bot, even if you are using one to write your messages.
I don’t see it, it doesn’t seem tonally consistent with the LLMs. Is it just because he put bullet points or something? Because it’s slightly longer than normal?
Rereading it, there is a good chance I’m the asshole here, but the basic reasons were a paragraph, followed by bullet points, followed by a paragraph. That’s a very common format for ChatGTP. As well, the use of emdashes in general, specifically where most people would use a comma. What really leads me to think I might be the asshole here is his use of “But” to start a sentence. It’s pretty common in informal righting, but really uncommon in the type of formal writing that ChatGPT loves to produce.

Looks like typed as hyphens, and LLMs tend to produce emdashes.

I think the intro/bullet point/conclusion format is pretty common among humans.

Bullet points are trivial in markdown - simply start a line with a dash and a space, although you can bugger up things by not leaving blank lines before and after.

I also do use em-dashes — because I can. I use wincompose to give me the linux compose key under windows. Although I will sometimes intentionally remove em-dashes from my writing precisely because of this assumption it causes.

I also have severe ADHD, and while sometimes I just write freeform and beware to the poor reader, sometimes I have an LLM tighten up the writing so the neurotypicals aren’t scared or confused by my rambling.

But even in such cases, I write everything first.

I believe in that particular instance, I might have copy/pasted the last bullet point from somewhere, but I wrote everything else and that is not through an LLM.

Everyone has different skills, and writing is one I’m not totally afraid to say is a moderate talent of mine. Sometimes.

Replying to your comment because it felt more natural, but it’s to the conversation in general. :)
