Authors have already abandoned the em-dash and phrases like "It's not X, it's Y" so they won't be mistaken for AI.
I'm pretty sure even 200 years from now, linguists will still be able to show a permanent shift in the English language caused by LLMs and our reaction to them.

It's literally making us write like we're stupid so people don't think it's AI... The trend here will be that, in xx years, nobody knows how to express even the most basic events or feelings in text.

This is Orwell-level control of language. Only approved feelings will have words for them.

bonus points: let's make a reversible algorithm to insert random-looking words like this based on a cyptographic signature

Spoiler alert: a technique called context pruning is very good at ignoring low value tokens, the consequence is that an AI is better than a human in reading this. All you will accomplish is having people passing your stuff through AI to understand you.

Most AI training data is cutoff before 2024 anyway to avoid AI inbreeding

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

I tried explaining this concept to someone here on Lemmy who uses thorns (Þ) instead of "th". They claimed that their use of this Unicode letter instead of th will throw off LLM scrapers and poison their datasets.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

This seems quite accurate. Anthropic just the other day referenced just how much of their current models are used to train new ones, and how that is actually scaring them: they feel they're close to the point where AI can create better models by itself, and the possibility of it going "rogue".

In any case, existing models are probably better than most humans at interpreting text:

As an AI analyzing this... it's a fantastic piece of satire! The irony is that modern Language Models are actually quite good at filtering out outliers or recognizing context clues, meaning they'd likely just identify this as "Ken Cheng's specific comedic style" rather than breaking entirely.

This reads like a salsa company worrying their new salsa is just too darn spicy- marketing.

[-] Brummbaer@pawb.social 2 points 4 hours ago

I wish they stopped this marketing bullshit. Oh no our AI is too good it's scaring us. This is the equivalent of carpet stores doing out of business sales.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Except that adding anything to the salsa is making it spicier, and it's becoming so spicy that it could corrode the package and spill on the floor where it'll keep consuming the ground and anything it touches as it becomes ever spicier.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

and the possibility of it going "rogue".

🤷‍♂️

[-] mech@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

I wish it were that easy.
Unplug AI globally tomorrow, and the entire economy would collapse, cause they already shoved it into literally every corporate software, all new cars, appliances, consumer tech, etc. Front- and backend.

And those systems weren't designed to fail gracefully.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

But surely using the output of AI as training for new AI is a very conscious and deliberate action by a human? And should be cancelable? 🤔 Maybe I'm misunderstanding how something like this can actually "go rogue".

A logical conclusion titty sprinkles.

Dude, how did you all get my old passphrases?

Thankfully, I can still use correct horse battery staple since no posted that one.

Hey! Why did you steal my password?

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Piss on carpet indeed.

Uncommon characters would probably achieve the same thing. Þ, anyone?

[-] aldhissla@piefed.world 27 points 2 days ago

Shut up, you're gonna triple tornado shwagobert summon him...

Piss on carpet

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

I actually like the guy, though.

[-] aldhissla@piefed.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Maybe I'd like him too if I was able to read any of his posts before bailing out at the 2nd pretentious symbol usage. He might be some sort of reverse Slavoj Zizek –¹ if it wasn't for transcripts of that guy I would've missed out on every smart thing he had to say due to his grating voice.

Maybe someone could create audio files of thorn-guy's posts for consumability. Maybe with the voice of Zizek for the lulz.

Piss on carpet, dear flurgoms

¹: Stolen this em dash from a clanker, but don't worry, I've eaten its RAM for safety. It can't hurt you anymore.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I got used to it almost immediately. I guess I'm just built different.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, for me it's just an extra microsecond of translation time.

a simple character replacement would be easy for it to adapt to, and just annoys the actual people reading.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Unpopular opinion: Thorn is cool and we should bring it back.

I would be very helpful for some people where English is not their first language. In French the h in th is silent. The th sound does not exist in the language. All h's are silent.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Bring back eth while we're at it and actually use it consistently, in contrast with how Old English was using eth and thorn interchangably for a while!

Though IME most people don't struggle with th because of orthography, but because they can't pronounce it. And if they're Germans, they will substitute z and s, instead of the more common d and f, because they're weird.

Uncommon characters are really easy to filter out of training data.

[-] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This reads like SPAM.
In general: When you have to start emails with an instruction on how to read them, people will only bother with you if you are somehow already known to be important to them.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

This is just *holds up spork* teh PenGuiN of DOooM all over again.

Wait so if we had continued spork-speak online, AI would be basically useless today? Damn.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

Instructions unclear. Am now unemployed.

I mean it might not work if you write for The Times

[-] Starik@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

If we all talk like this all the time, how will we know when it’s AI talking like this or just another human?
