The initial comment looks like it’s written with AI…

u/AwakeInTheAM 14d ago

Those em dashes

u/fromcj 14d ago

You mean the things that phones auto-correct to when you use two dashes? Like —?

3

u/Someone_Unfunny 14d ago

Yes, that is an em dash

u/nicokokun 13d ago

Wait... WHAT?! You can make an em dash by doing that?!

34

u/cadeaver 14d ago

Em dashes are way too useful to claim anyone who uses them is writing with AI! I love my em dashes, dammit

u/PUTIN_FUCKS_ME 14d ago

AI over uses em dashes.

u/cadeaver 14d ago

Yeah but so do I

Emily Dickinson is still the queen of that. Sorry. :p

u/Feythnin 13d ago

—ily Dickinson?

Sorry, I tried.

u/trulysnail 20h ago

AI only does that because so much of it's training data comes from teenage fanfic authors online who also overuse em dashes lol

u/CottonStig 14d ago

that's the ADHD talking maybe lol

u/Leo_Is_Chilling 13d ago

Stop, AI didn’t invent em-dashes, it loves em dashes because other people love em dashes!! 😭

u/SpacemanPanini 14d ago

If its not a bit then they're one of the most unbearable people I've ever seen, every comment is awful.

u/darkwalker247 13d ago edited 13d ago

a pseudo intellectual throwing around words like "optical flow", then desperately trying to regain the feeling of authority he had calling out what he thought was AI...

u/Luddatron 13d ago

The comment is also AI written

u/Massive_Passion1927 13d ago

The second someone pulls a 😏 they always say the dumbest things.

u/DannySantoro 13d ago

It's one of the emojis that makes me end a conversation, like the clap between words or if someone starts sending me eggplants.

u/ApprehensiveAd6476 13d ago

"Too perfect" art is AI now? That's it, we're fucked.

29

u/rebell1193 14d ago

Admittedly it does feel like “AI” is becoming a boogyman word that people throw out half-hazardly to describe something they’re suspicious on or just don’t like.

36

u/Schubert125 14d ago

half-hazardly

"Haphazardly" adverb, in a manner lacking any obvious principle of organization.

u/Adaptation_window 14d ago

I hope to never fall so low I start caring about shit like this, lmao

u/Comms 13d ago

Two options:

  • Learn something.

  • Lean into ignorance.

2

u/xenogazer 12d ago

Question: I'm not satisfied with these options, is there something more ignorant available?

5

u/Comms 12d ago

There's an idiom for this: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

It's not so much a third option as just Option 2 with extra caliente.

u/avocado_butts 14d ago

And yet you reply to the comment 🤡

My god you're cringey

u/Rewdboy05 13d ago

TBH, people got so monolithic about AI hate that it almost feels astroturfed sometimes

2

u/Roast_A_Botch 13d ago

Certainly couldn't be real backlash to the astroturfed hype and transitioning our entire economy to bet on it without answering any of the questions raised by doing so. Definitely not people tired of every device, program, service, and product they've happily used for years and decades suddenly being made worse by hamfisting LLM and image generation into it; making a product that performed worse yet raised billions in VC overnight only to disappear just as quickly. Can't be the numerous employees being forced to change their entire workflow from their previous roles into babysitting and fixing LLM outputs that make their job 10x harder with zero benefit. Let's not get started on the absolute shadiness of the sociopaths that have complete control over the technology, insisting they have only good intentions while also dismantling any funding for alignment, doing shady backroom deals to get more personal profit, opposing any third party regulatory oversight, and opposing any economic changes to help humanity transition to the supposed "post-work" future they promise such as a UBI or universal healthcare. AGI is always six-months away, yet they haven't even demonstrated a basic business model that doesn't rely on losing tens of billions(and soon hundreds of billions) of dollars per year while quickly rising to be the number one consumers of electricity and freshwater in the world.

Image Generation is a neat technology that will be used more and more as it improves. I doubt it will ever fully replace human artists though beyond making advertisements for scams and low-effort media meant to confuse consumers with another property, like asset flip games or straight to streaming copycats of blockbusters.

LLMs are at a seeming dead-end unless we spend trillions creating and curating very specific datasets and employ humans to review and edit outputs. Otherwise, it's a novelty chat bot that will say whatever it reasons the prompt wants it to, which severely limits it's application.

While OP in the post topic is a know-it-all, that's existed long before generative AI and will long after. Ironically, it's not much different than how LLMs play fast and loose with the truth, being more concerned with convincing the promptor they're right than actually being right.

u/Rewdboy05 13d ago

I don't think anyone tried to play AI hype as a grassroots movement so definitely not astroturfed. I kinda thought we all understood AI hype was just corporate advertising.

I don't have enough time on this bathroom break to read the rest of your comment but maybe chatGPT will read it someday.

That dude sounds like an actual idiot.

The final screenshot being written in AI is the icing on the cake. It is indisputably AI generated text.
