News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It's kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it's complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.

Slop or not, it does happen so often now that it does not feel like it's worth it going online, but it's worth sharing, I guess, gah.

It doesn't read like AI to me at all. I think some people, especially here on Lemmy, are becoming increasingly paranoid lately and think everything they see is AI-generated. I saw a comment here a few days ago where somebody accused an article of being written by AI because the writer used a lot of em-dashes. Like, some dude out there is getting accused of being an AI just because he's an English major. The amount of distrust in the most trivial of things these days is just wild.

~~Did you not read the part where it linked to a affiliate link to a ebook that was written in AI?~~

I'm mistaken. I read the article and was confused.

You are commenting on OP's take below the link. Apologies.

The author of that article seems real and makes a decent point. Reddit is infested with that shit nowadays.

There's tells I've noticed that if something seems to friendly, or formal, and the tone seems too verbose it might be generated. Formatting gives it away as well

And then there's fuckers like me that just write like that sometimes lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Well stop being so friendly and people won't think you're a robot. Jk/

How does formatting give it away?

I've honestly struggled a lot trying to figure out what posts are just chatbot trolls and what posts are people worth trying to create a dialogue with.

I mean, sometimes posts will say things that seem like they're intentionally misleading or inherently malicious in some way and it's like... Is this person for real? Are they trying to push some specific narrative? Or are they just misinformed? Or is this just a chatbot designed to upset people and disrupt online conversations on this subject?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I've noticed they often hedge pretty bad at the end and give some boilerplate "Always rely on professionals or this credential or whatever platitude to avoid bring percrived as giving risky or dealing casually with taboo topic matter"

YMMV and be sure to consult with your real, friendly neighorhood LLM to balance your understanding and expectations therin

This didn't really read like AI slop; and I feel like people are having a psychological break on everything related to AI now.

I have gone on to prove in various forums many times that misspellings -- aren't AI slop. Aren't proof that AI is writing things, etc.

But still it happens. When the wrong grammar or verbiage is used (but context is clearly kept), people jump to "BOT!" -- without realizing that AI doesn't make those mistakes.

I'm calling it AIDS. AI-Derangement Syndrome. Y'all m'fers have AIDS.

I don’t think the article is AI, but I would be hilarious if it was an AI article written about an AI reddit post and the possible AI written comments on it

It's kind of funny how this blog post seems to use the same exact slop-ass language the post it's complaining about does. Well and truly dead and barren, most of the internet is.

It's like 4chan-anons recounting things and only being able to do it coherently in a greentext style.

I try to catch myself being too antagonistic or soapbox-y even on Lemmy. I hope we can keep this place interesting enough to discuss stuff on. If bots can somehow emulate really respectful but concise, intriguing and fact-based discussion then, this might be an unpopular opinion but I don't see that as too much of a problem. It's that bots have copied overused comment chains and only seem to be product shills or propagandists wrecking the space.

So fucking tired of people like you, this isn't AI

You're just like those maga assholes that harass non-traditionally attractive women as being trans

Get the fuck off of my internet

~~Did we read the same article? What are you talking about?~~

Ah I see. You're referring to OP's body text. Sorry about that.

Yeah OP, wtf. Dude, leave your comments in the comment stream.
