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.

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

Good luck, the next rounds of training will iron these out and the line will continue blurring. These tips will flag a lot of false positives from educated people, and those comments are valuable. Maybe if you look for human-style mistakes you will have hope determining if comment was made by a human, like capitalisation, autocomplete issues, and typos.

It's much easier spotting AI in photos, videos and probably audio.

You're right, they'll learn to disguise themselves perfectly over time. In this scenario, trusting strangers on the internet will be extremely risky and dangerous in the future if you know what I mean.
