Found a video guide to spotting posts written by LLMs. Thought it might be useful. (www.youtube.com)

TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

  • Use of the em-dash (—)
  • Parallel sentence structure (e.g. "It's not just X, it's Y")
  • Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
  • Delineating line breaks with emojis
  • Odd/unnatural verbiage
  • Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
  • Exaggerated and empty praise
  • Weird analogies and similes
  • Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

  • Including anecdotes
  • Written in the first person
  • Tangents and nonlinear storytelling

Fuck — as an designer and typography nerd I just love them em-dashes.

I'm sure I've used some software that's auto corrected hyphens to em-dashes too, but I can't remember what.

It’s “em dash” and there shouldn’t be spaces around it. FYI.

[-] phneutral@feddit.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

I‘m German … in German we connect words with small dashes and put spaces around the larger ones … it’s the habit :)

I hate them. They're fine on posters.

But if I see them multiple times in a block of text, I question the author.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
