This is a phenomenon I've noticed - even if AI isn't being used to edit their posts, I think profilic exposure to AI chatbots can rub off on a person and affect their conversation style.

I think they look distinctly non AI generated. Particularly the use of dash - instead of emdash usually means a keyboard is being used.

Its not. Source: I've done quite a bit of work on humanizing AI text and testing various detectors (Pangram being the best)

That's almost a compliment because my comments are giant stream of consciousness rants that absolutely don't follow best writing practices and are all just massive run on sentences :)

I do use - hyphens a lot, but not em-dashes because 1. I never even realized there was a difference until LLMs came out and 2. I'm too lazy to figure out how to write a real em-dash

I'm guessing you're just saying this because the comments are insanely long from the ranting? I'd be curious what else gives off LLM vibes because I'm quite positive if you throw any of these comments into any Pangram ish thing you'll find that it's absolutely not LLM generated in the slightest.

I have an extremely distinctive writing style that far predates LLMs - here's a representative sample of my writing from 9 years ago https://medium.com/@intenex/cryptocurrency-101-7197684775fd that pretty clearly shows my distinct style of not-very-LLMish-but-clearly-very-long-and-ranty writing :)

Correct.... very suspect.

Swear you can't trust many posts anymore. Should we all start congregating in person online to debate lol? I'm very serious.

This one doesn't look AI generated at all

There’s no way to not look AI generated these days. Give it a break.

That is an excellent point

Is the starting statement on about half of the comments on this page. The world is getting so weird.

As someone who reviews a lot of AI shit and can generally tell ai generated down to the model version … nah, it doesn’t.

Because they mostly likely are. Astroturfing 101: Go to the comment section of the {NEW_PRODUCT} and write a story about how awesome and "gamechanging" the product is to you personally. Ai-bros run shill compai..., sry "reputation management" all over the internet. Which is understandable, considering everything they have runs and dies solely based on hype. You can try it out yourself, if you have a prominent social media account, like on xitter etc, just write a skeptical comment about AI and watch tons of accounts appear out of thin air to tell you how wrong you are. Ironically, you can currently see it with the other replies to your post. Would have been funny, if it wasn't so sad.
