I've started letting some run on sentences remain because it feels closer to how humans think and usually write. Letting typos go seems silly though.

Definitely think it is. It will be glorious. We will focus more on content than on just aesthetic as people try to signal that they are not llm
reply
I feel like having to signal that you're a human detracts from the content side of things. Proper spelling and grammar, good style etc. are there to help you convey your ideas more accurately. Resorting to a stream of consciousness style of unrefined writing makes it apparent that you're a human, but the downside is that your text is bad.
reply
Style is entirely subjective, and not every text is looking for a refined reader.

Oh no, I have had enough of people with quirky (i.e. cringey) writing on the internet. It started with those who refused to use their shift key and it's quickly devolving into something that makes you shiver when you read it. (Not to mention how easy it is to use a system prompt to make an AI write in whatever style you like.)

Flaw become aesthetic all time. People faked butt bandage follow Sun King fashion. Ugly as sin, still aesthetic.

Kurzgesagt typically does STEM focused videos... they've got a new channel "After Dark" which focuses on history and historical figures. Their first one: Kurzgesagt After Dark The Final Days of Louis XIV - https://youtu.be/bIwX4QuL90k?si=9WLbzKqxo08KCDum&t=564

> And though the operation was done in secret, a new fashion sweeps the court: Bandages wrapped around everyone’s buttocks.

I see loads of LLM articles where it's been prompted to never capitalise, avoid full stops, pepper in spelling mistakes, etc. it sucks.

When writing letters of recommendation now, I write in a more human tone to avoid sounding like a bot with a line of explanation at the start. Not an error in the sense you mean, but an error in tone for a letter of recommendation, certainly.
reply
I don't know but capitalisation seems to have gone down the shitter.

Maybe it is.

Just like hand made items are popular for their imperfections.

reply
An awful lot of stuff in the "hand made" aesthetic are made by machine and factory too, and I suspect a similar thing will happen to any popular writing aesthetic that attempts to avoid being automated away.

Personally, I'll just continue to use my own voice. I try to correct spelling and grammar mistakes, and proof-read my writing before posting.

It's not perfect, and my writing can at times be idiosyncratic, but it's my voice and it's all I've got left.

But don't be mistaken in thinking that those mistakes make it better, it just makes it mine.

I mean yes? I am more likely to read and trust something that is not written or cowritten by ai.

I want real humans giving real human opinions not ai giving their best opinion on what is the most "rewarding" weighted opinion
