Why em dashes specifically? Why is THAT what we blame on AI?

Wow you explained AIs tone and writing very well.

I find it interesting that AI writes very high level, which is a trait that seems to be valued by upper management (VP, CEO level).

I think at some point someone will figure out that AI would sound more natural if it didn't write so perfectly, and they'll try to make AI sound hip and casual, and I'm almost certain AI will still fail to be convincingly casual.

To be honest I thought AI was already used to flood popular message boards with user content trying to sound natural to show user engagement.

Yeah for sure, but there's always something off that screams fake.

until it doesn't anymore ...

explanation: 10% it looks fake so you think you can recognize it easily meanwhile 90% avoids detection that way.

That's why I prefer lemmy! Real users.

First it was trolls, then it was trolls using AI. I understand why many users are abandoning social networks.

you forgot the oligarchs trying to make it the new VolksempfΓ€nger

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Trolls arguing AI bots would be a whole new level lol

I think, part of the "problem" is that most of their training data is formal language. They'll have much less data from private chats and such.

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Meta has their own AI Llama. I'd imagine meta would have private chat data.

You can write in the prompt to the AI to write in hip and casual tone, but you will get something that will give you "How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?" meme vibes.

I haven't really tried but I think if you were trying to use LLM generated text deceptively the model could probably do exactly as you describe already so long as you prompt it to do so clearly enough.
