I think a lot of problems would be solved if there was a law that LLM generated text must be in all caps

I'd vote for comic sans, but the principle is sound.

@th I mean ideally you have to interact with a machine that looks exactly like this if you want to talk to the little man in the computer

@hannah but hannah, there are no men in the computer room.

@th @hannah alternatively, the law could say, that all AI slop must be formatted using Comic Sans font...

@hannah Whoa what a fabulous idea.

But any such ideas that do not continue the gravy train of the powerful just do not carry weight.

@hannah also that companies that put up ai chat bots are beholden to the answers that bot gives. Whether that is the Bot saying an item is on sale 90% off with coupon code SLOPSALE, in which case give the customer the discount or the bot says things that an employee saying would incur legal liability. Too bad, same as if the CEO said it. I do like the all caps though.

@hannah I want their speech functions to work on the old TI voice chips from the 1980s. If it was good enough for the Speak And Spell, and talking caller ID answer phones, it's good enough for an LLM.

@hannah I want LLM generated text to have visual separators between the output tokens

I'd suggest random caps, with extra exclamation marks and no other punctuation at all.

A semantic html element for it that carries over when you copy it into a rich text editor, to differ it from normal all caps in the same way em is different from i
