Was this written by AI?
Yeah it felt like it, at least. The first difference about origin and era threw me off; people in general are not interested in it and would probably not list the facts like that.
It felt uncomfortable and disingenuous reading it. I would have preferred if it ended with either βThis is written by Chat-GPTβ or βI used Chat-GPT then edited itβ. Like the TLDR/Peertube bot on Lemmy, at least they sign it with their identity when theyβre bot accounts.
Yeah, the point of the question was not "You know, Usenet is older than Fediverse". I actually stated exactly that in the question.
as time goes on i think techs that mark human made content will be more practical.
the only reason that read as "off" is because the poster did not put any time into it, prob just a simple question in a default chat somewhere. well made systems tuned to thier use are going to be surprisingly effective.
I hope it does not lead to the dead internet theory
Chad gpt enters the room. Yes.
My first thought
i think it may have been. might as well, even if you put in time writing its likely to be assumed AI anyway, esp as it improves.
Definitely. Humans don't write that way unless they're paid to. It reads like bland marketing material.
Thanks ChatGPT!
This looks like written by ChatGPT, and it is in many ways straight up off-topic or wrong.
Sorry I should marked it as AI :) From my experience usenet is more uncesored compared to fediverse. The most issue with fedi is that there is no tru replication system (mayby except sometimes data might be cached on other instance).
And you don't hear PLONK around here as much, either.
Well, you don't hear it, but it does happen.
Don't. Use your own words or don't even respond to the thread.
Well, we had posts, discussions, and even media in USENET back then. The only real differences I see are that fediverse is more modern and media-aware, and that people actively battle spam/bots/trolls, which in my time on usenet was not really an issue, though.
