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

The summary isnt hitting the nuance.

I see a lot of AI garbage.

You get emojis as list elements. You see a lot of dry writing, like you're reading a blog. You get vague nothings that sound good, but are meaningless.

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.
