I'm not really worried about AI mimicking my writing. This is the nonsense I got back when I fed some of my essays into it and asked AI to write an essay about giant rabbits in the style of my voice. Some vague syntactic matches, but mostly gibberish that honestly had me howling with laughter.

@edwardchampion I wouldn't worry about "AI" mimicking my writing accurately.

What I would worry is, someone presenting ANYTHING "AI" writes and then saying, "afreytes wrote this". What no, the "AI" is infallible, if there's nonsense, mistakes, inaccuracies, it's because afreytes makes them. False representation.

Imagine a "pre-crime" unit that instead of precogs uses hallucinating "AI" models. We are somewhat removed from that yet, but I wonder if it may sneak up on us.

@afreytes You do have a point there. On one hand, this little experiment revealed that AI recognizes some of the stylistic techniques I employ (and indeed all this comes more from instinct than something more adamantly preordained). And that at least gives me some idea that I'm possibly more accomplished on a technical level than I realized. But yeah without the feeling, it's just hollow and silly. And how many serious wonky readers out there who will spot the distinction?
