The fear is that AI-generated comments will collectively promote an agenda, often a political or exploitative agenda, on a scale that humans can't match or hope to counter.

What could help is a careful clique hunting algorithm to accurately identify and delete the entire clique.

I have "—" bound to AltGR/right option + "-" for a decade now and I don't intend to stop using it.

I will not allow my good practices to get co-opted as AI "smoke tests".

This is pretty damning. It would be interesting to see if new accounts collect karma at any rate whatsoever.

Weirdly, I learned that it was important to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation due to getting repeatedly dunked on in IRC long before the dawn of LLMs. I have no intent of changing, and people thought I was an "old" when I was younger because I texted with correct language, I'm sure people suspect I'm an LLM now. I don't care, and I don't try to guess for other comments either, I care if the content is relevant, accurate, and useful or interesting.

I won't support this rampant emdashophobia. The internet deserves better typography.

So much so that I've started a Wikipedia project to replace the dashes and other abysmal characters with proper typography.

All of my devices replace hyphens with emdashes, ascii typography with glorious unicode, etc.

Check my history, I get downvoted to hell everytime I truthfully point out AI slop.

Not everyone speaks English natively—most have relied on Google Translate in the past, and now they turn to AI tools. There's nothing wrong with that, provided they're using these tools to express their own thoughts rather than for spam or botting.

^ And that's what i just did

doesn't really mean anything, Mac randomly autocorrects dashes to em-dashes (caused me a world of pain once when it did that in a GUID in a config file)

AI has taken this from me—I will never forgive.

But seriously, I loved the em-dash and now every time I use it (which is too often) I have to wonder if my words will immediately be written off.
