i've been using AI for as long as GPT has been out, so if you can't see through the rambling, overly complex to make you sound smarter kind of text, as well as the written patterns that are always used ad nauseam like "this thing isn't JUST this, it's THIS" -- i dunno how else to prove it to you. IYKYK.

    I have also used GPTs since 2020. I am also a writer. Much of the writing equated with “generated by AI” is so precisely because it’s broadly trained on real writing.

    So the claim of “AI slop” without proof is little more than heresy. It would be helpful to have any evidence.

    It’s not about just the writing in one example, it’s about writing patterns—which are common—being equated with AI simply because they’re common.

      if you're a writer, and you're using GPT for so long and you can't see it as obvious, i dunno what to tell you at this point. i guess LLMs are trained particularly on this guy's writing.

        So you have zero evidence to convey something you claim is “obvious”? Got it.

        If you can’t explain it, then you don’t actually understand it.

    I've been writing in a contrasting style like that since probably 5th or 6th grade.

    ... I wonder how much the writings of a lot of autistic / borderline folks impacted the LLM writing style.
