Found a video guide to spotting posts written by LLMs. Thought it might be useful. (www.youtube.com)

TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

Use of the em-dash (—)
Parallel sentence structure (e.g. "It's not just X, it's Y")
Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
Delineating line breaks with emojis
Odd/unnatural verbiage
Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
Exaggerated and empty praise
Weird analogies and similes
Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

Including anecdotes
Written in the first person
Tangents and nonlinear storytelling

I don't think it's necessarily just a checklist of things, but rather the way an LLM's output resembles these techniques that puts it into an uncanny valley of writing. As a writer, you use these techniques deliberately and thoughtfully. LLMs can't do that, so the output just feels off.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
