“This is not just a leak – it’s a blueprint for mass exploitation,” the researchers said.

Are the researchers chatgpt? Because that looks almost word for word how chatgpt would write something like that, right down to the em-dash.

Man, I love my em-dashes, but now im a bot for using it 😭

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, same. Long-time user of an em-dash—love a cheeky en-dash in my ranges too. But now LLMs are using them all the time, out of context, and with spaces on either side.

Is nothing safe?! Next it'll be semicolons!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, what’s with the spaces? I’ve been an emdash slut for 20 years, but I’ve never put spaces on either side. I’ve also scarcely seen anyone else do that, until LLMs became popular.

It’s probably your fault, you loved em dashes too much that AI started using them after stealing all your content

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I was going to say "I don't use em-dashes in my books for when they sole all those books" but then I went into my first book and found 22 em-dashes so... oops. I thought the word processor changed -- into an en-dash and not an em-dash.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I think you'd probably be ok with using em-dashes (I typically use en-dashes myself but I'm lazy), but don't use cliche phrases like "It's not [x] -- it's [reframed x]"

If it is, their stupid model forgot a "more" in this passage:

Password compromise is no joke; it leads to account compromise and that leads to, well, the compromise of most everything you hold dear in this technological-centric world we live in. It’s why Google is telling billions of users to replace their passwords with much secure passkeys.

(Wow, much secure. Very password.)

This passage reads 100% like AI wrote. Right down to the over used turns of phrase that AI inserts into every output to the prompts you give it

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Whenever I read any sort of AI response all I can hear is 'All your bases are belong to me'.

What does the article say more than the title?

Nothing, each paragraph is a remash of the previous saying nothing more than the title.

That's AI filling up a white page with words.
