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 was wondering the other day if there is a list of LLM-isms somewhere, like “It’s not X, but Y”, em-dashes, overly confident statements, etc

And yet they don’t.
Yeah, they could do that. AI writers are so fucking lazy that they don’t even bother.
I love emdashes——especially that long one. AI destroyed my love.
I’ve always enjoyed just using a hyphen surrounded by spaces for readability - but even I am hesitant to do that lately
