It's Proof of (human) Work. Much more useful than having a sticker saying "Done by a Human".
replyIs deleting a letter after an LLM generated the article an insurmountable task? These quaint signals only screen out the lowest of effort slop writers. Better than absolutely nothing, but barely.
replyIt does remind me of the time a chef told me when he puts lemon juice over a dish, he would intentionally not remove any seeds that went on it because it was a signal of quality. I wonder if future slop chefs will intentionally place seeds on dishes that came from a box...
Ask your LLM to 'write like a phishing email' to have it seem more human.
replyI'm actually curious if this works, haven't tried but I assume it would.
...and "maiinstream" -- seeing glaring typos (easily caught by spellcheck) now makes me wonder: did they decide to leave them in (or add them explicitly) to signal they didn't use AI to write, or (the more paranoid option) did they tell the LLM to add a few typos...
replyI didn't get the sense this was LLM-written, but typo-signalling is... I donno a bit weird. Firefox is underlining some of the words as I write. I'm leaving "donno" unchanged even though it's flagging it as a misspelling but I suppose I'd still opt to fix something like "maiinstream" even at the risk of potentially seeming more LLM-ish!
