Because humans write exactly like this /s
The project is still very cool, but it’s a little less enjoyable to read when everything sounds the same. It would be just as annoying for people to manually write in a corporate/marketing style, because humanity is what makes the small web interesting.
It grinds my gears how so many people just talk about my writing style instead of the content.
Your previous blog posts didn't trigger any LLM detector (go on - check for yourself).
None of the 3x older blogs of yours that I tried went above 5% AI generated.
Maybe you're spending so much of time with the LLM that you are talking like it; in which case, take an old blog and a recent blog, give the prose from them both to you favourite LLM and ask them if the same author wrote both. I just did that on ChatGPT and on Gemini, and both found that it is extremely unlikely that the same author wrote both.
Look, if all the SOTA LLMs agree that your recent blogs sounds generated, you can't blame the reader, can you?
It thinks this is AI: “I bought a datacenter GPU that doesn’t even have a normal PCIe connector, stuck it in my gaming PC with an adapter, and now I have 32GB of VRAM across two GPUs running a 27 billion parameter model at 32 tokens per second.”
There’s nothing AI about that. Not all SOTA LLMs agree, hell, none of them do. The same exact example I sent here gives me 0% in some, 10% in others, 100% in GPTzero.
The ones I checked all agree: your recent writing is not the same author as your writing from 3 years ago...
You can check this yourself if you don't believe; make of that, what you will.
The point of "X is real" in a therapeutic context is to make the person feel seen and acknowledged, that his struggles are real to him and really do weigh on his mind, even if it is technically "all in his head".
Not from individual human content, that's for sure - maybe MLM marketing copy? Sleazy 4AM ads?
I mean, every time this response comes up, I keep asking the person to point at something written prior to 2022 that gets 80%+ on the LLM detectors, and yet no one can find anything.
Maybe you, postalrat, can find something written in this style that was published prior to 2022.
I have then used a blog post of mine from 2021. QuillBot gave me 8%...
The King James version of the Bible came out at almost 100% AI generated a while ago. It was the HN front page.
Stop thinking that if someone writes in a way that is fun or looks like what you would think an AI writes, then it is AI generated. Loads of the time it is, but sometimes it's not, and it really hurts those like me.
Don't use Quillbot; not sure why, but their model is reluctant to classify anything as AI generated. I ran into this when proof-reading a students Phd - ChatGPT, Gemini, CLaude (and others) all agreed it was AI generated, but Quillbot said it wasn't.
If they way you thought was to run a bunch of if statements, generate content, then feed that content back to get a "score" of what seems the most plausible, run the if statements again, and adjust / merge responses, then you would write similarly. The recognizable cadence of LLM generated content is pretty clearly the result of a lot of if statements being fused together.
Classic LLM writing style.
Isn't a rasbpi with 16gb of RAM $300 now?
