Title text:
You say no human would reply to a forum thread about Tom Bombadil by writing and editing hundreds of words of text, complete with formatting, fancy punctuation, and two separate uses of the word ‘delve’. Unfortunately for both of us, you are wrong.

Not ChatGPT output — I’m just like this.
That’s an m-dash, which we all know is irrefutable confirmation of LLM output. /s
iirc its m-dash as well as constant rule of threes and generally using incredibly formal sentence structures even when the language involved is not formal in any way. Kind of like what I just did there though probably with an extra comma after m-dash.
I think I’m a—LLM now.
Yep ChatGPT must have learned from people like me, because:
- I write long texts
- I over explain stuff to people who did not ask for explanation
- I use bullet points in every post
Claim:
- I use bullet points in every post
Fact Check:
Out of your 36 comments, this is the only one with bullet points. That’s only 2.7% of your comments. One other has an enumeration, but an enumeration is not bullet points.
Additionally, you have one post, but that also doesn’t use bullet points. 0% of your actual posts use bullet points.
Conclusion: Claim is FALSE. Ziffy-fa-Jazz-KZone-Sweek’em does not use bullet points in every post.
Nice :) I like that you did that! But to clarify some things:
- I use them mostly in emails where there is actual content to write
- I rearly post online
- I was exadurating
- I use new account every few months.
Emoji, title, bullet points, repeat
You just have say fuck a lot…
But I’m pretty sure any explanation of Bombadil less than 300 words would fail the Turing test
You can actually get LLMs to swear, sort of. They just won’t use real swear words. If you set up your LLM parameters to use a specific word for an expletive, but it’s not actually an expletive, then you can replace that word with your choice of expletive after the text is generated.
There really is an xkcd for everything.
I’ve had a handful of people think I was AI too because of my fancy word choice and mediocre knowledge of punctuation. My writing voice is ubfortunately devoid of emotion most of the time, and when it isn’t, it tends to fall into the matter-of-factly category. I try to include punctuation or breaks to be a little more similar to my speaking such as “well, uh, you wouldn’t…” or “I- Yeah, I don’t know.” I think my personal favourite I do do is “I think it was… two…? weeks ago?”
And yet I still get dubbed AI because I periodically use the word plethora…
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen, even better than banana man
i found splitting up paragraphs into many small, newlined sentences help a lot. it seems to be mainly big paragraphs that give people uncanny feeling.
or alternatively join me. in not capitalizing letters anymore.
Seeing any em dash in the wild makes me immediately suspicious
There’s always one good litmus test, if you can ask someone live before they have a chance to do a Google search: ask what the alt code is for an em dash.
If they don’t immediately answer 0151, they’re full of shit.
I always just google ‘em dash’ then ctrl+c it.
I feel like this is more likely to lead you astray than anything. An LLM bot will immediately know the alt code, while a real person will only know it if they use Windows. Lots of people use Linux, or mobile keyboards.
Or if they start explaining what a compose key is; also human
What if they don’t know the code and just use a keyshift instead?
Throw them into a lake, I guess. If they sink and drown, they’re innocent. If they float, you know they’re full of (buoyant) shit (and can then safely burn them at the stake if you want to).
Ah, welcome back, Witch Test…
meh - I just use a dash and move on.
That’s fine, LLMs use mainly em dashes so there would be no confusion, hence that being the litmus test.
Opt shift hyphen. What’s an alt code? 🍏
Hmmm, I think to know for sure, we’ll have to throw your device into a lake. Apples float, so if it’s a genuine Designed By Apple in California™ computer that supports that option, it won’t sink and then we’ll know you’re telling the truth.

Then make it look less perfect with custom command AI, after finding a FOSS AI website that has a lot of uncensored AI my life hasn’t been same again
you can keep using pronounciation correctly and writing long paragraphs of words if you lowercase it all, just saying.
Imitating LLM to piss off AI haters is just next level trolling. As everyone knows, trolling is a art.

ChatGPT is changing the way we talk
Started the video, and the first comment I saw was along the lines of “so it’s changing scripts that are read, not how people talk”. Had no need to watch any further.
