Writers Are Going to Extremes to Prove They Didn’t Use AI - tovima.com

People are adding typos, aggressively casual language and references to ‘The Office’ to stay ahead of armchair detectors; ‘It’s like the new McCarthyism.’

      Unfortunately this merely existing makes it easier for AI writers to circumvent these then. Someone could just pipe that exact repo into their slop generator, and tell it to avoid using those phrases lol.

        It also penalizes the actual human writers and is forcing people to write in contorted fashion just so somebody doesn’t scream that it looks like AI text. The whole focus here is fundamentally wrong. What people should be asking is whether the text is engaging, whether it’s factual, and whether they found it interesting. It doesn’t matter if slop is produced by a human or AI, what matters is the quality of the content.

        I’ve always enjoyed just using a hyphen surrounded by spaces for readability - but even I am hesitant to do that lately

    If I wanted to handwrite something, I’d have to make a video of me writing it so people could see the pauses and stuff, and be reasonably confident I didn’t copy from an AI.

    One of the things I found out – there’s enough of my IRC logs ingested by these models, they can already approximate my personal writing style, in a low quality way

        Authors could sign their work digitally. PGP wouldn’t prevent them from lying about using AI, but they could build up a reputation for not using AI, and people could verify it was the author’s creation.

        So maybe not great, just good.
