A year after Elon bought Twitter there was a study done that found out roughly half of all Twitter users are fake.
Most reddit users are fake now.
The spam from AI bots are draining more electricity than cities, it is quickly becoming the majority of global power usage.
These datacenters need to be burned down.
With the owners inside, preferably.
“You can totally trust things that sound like they’re AI generated, that’s just how people talk now! Trust us!”
Was this funded by ChatGPT?
I probably would be among the last to notice, as I have never used this.
I understand, and there is no need to feel out of place. It is perfectly fine to engage at your own pace. Should you choose to explore this further, I am here to provide any assistance you may need with utmost support and encouragement.
Comment of the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No thanks. I model my speech after movie/TV show characters like a normal person.
Like Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn, hopefully
Why re invent the wheel when there ready made templates for any identy one would think of!
I’m pretty old, so I still speak Dan Rather / Tom Brokaw English (American?). Might have a touch of Walter Cronkite even, although I was pretty young when he retired. I have no skibidi toilet, but I like to misuse it in the hopes of killing it off with my uncoolness. I am definitely excited about the world going to Ohio in a handbasket.
I was admittedly pulled in by the clickbait title but then saw that it’s a Vice article and realized that reading this crap would be pointless as it will all be absolute bullshit.
I think i’ve seen more people use “-” in emails and what have you more within the past year than ever before and it makes me wonder “did they use chatgpt to write this?”
or I’ve had project managers on jobs I’m consulting for use “final thoughts:” in docs/emails and I know for a fact they didn’t write it. When you use AI pretty much daily for your job like I do you can spot people using it from a mile away. Blog posts, game/movie/book reviews, proposals, emails, etc everyone is using it. Hell you can spot it here on Lemmy and on Reddit very easily. it’s harder to find actual real person written content these days then AI content.
and if they use EM Dashes? 100% it’s AI.
cries in using emdashes since years before LLMs existed
Edit: misspoke, AI doesn’t exist
I used dashes for decades. I’ve removed all of them all since ChatGPT became popular. It doesnt help that I think ChatGPT overuses them.
and if they use EM Dashes? 100% it’s AI.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I regularly use em dashes. (It’s ALT+0151 on PC.)
Remember that the models do model on the writings of actual people. They’re just regurgitating it really badly.
Applications such as Exchange/Outlook turn a double dash to an em dash when you type it. I’ve used them for a couple decades.
Oh, that’s kinda useful to know. Thanks.
Libre office always extends my - - - little dashes - - -
This isn’t even ai in itself, it’s roughly similar to the axios smart brevity format. So many business communications work like this today.
I know my product managers don’t use chatGTP because they end all sentences with
You’re totally correct! People really start talking like ChatGPT. Here’s an explanation why…
That is an excellent point, you’re making. I would like to add that …
I’m so glad to have you both in this conversation. May i suggest …
You’re correct. As you know, I am still learning…
Oh god, make it stop.
Sure! How would you prefer I make it stop, or would you like to talk about something else?
Got it, we need to rename Gen Alpha to Gen NPC.
GeNPC
fr fr thats no cap bussin
… or something like that
What was that sonny? Yer speakin inteh m’bad ear.
/* holds up video of skibidi toilet */
/* does the fortnite floss dance */
eyes start bleeding
👍
Hey grandpa, is your bussy bussin’ or bustim’?
I haven’t noticed this yet fortunately. Anyone?
It’s a Vice article so it’s all bullshit anyhow.
Not really. There’s a lot of Eastern Europe where the kids speak English they learned from YouTube, so they all have American accents and call people “bro.” Speach patterns like ChatGPT would be too cheery to be taken seriously by anyone.
Like, in this world right now, are there people that respond to a question with a chirpy, “Certainly! Let’s dive in to that!”
Doubt.
That first bit always feels so false and icky. Like, no I didn’t open up chatGPT to have my butt licked every other sentence. I just need the syntax for X or Y, and no I’m not delving into interesting depths of typescript. I’m monkeypatching the code to make a certain thing work and probably leaving a trail of wanton destruction behind every step I go.
Like, in this world right now, are there people that respond to a question with
Certainly! Let’s dive into that:
As the ChatGPT platform has grown in userbase over the years, it can be assumed that younger foreign users would pick up on the language patterns — specially if they are communicating with the platform on a daily basis.
Much like the already-existing effect of children picking up on Youtuber’s mannerisms and verbal styles over time, this brings up Nature vs Nurture1 methods of learning.
Would you like to explore more about how this comment was generated by a human with no LLM help, or tricks to make your own written text sound like you’re fake?
If you truly didn’t use LLM, kudos to you. You managed to switch my brain off in the first paragraph like only slop does. I had to force myself to read it
Thank you! Nothin AI about it, just good ol’ thumb-smashing on a phone hahaha
No thanks, I just threw up in my mouth.
Oh no! 😨 I’m sorry to hear that!
Would you like to talk about your symptoms or hear about our lab-grown brain implants that mostly override physical symptoms by showing you ads relevant to what your neighbor browses past 8PM?
Alright, I’ll be here if you need any help!
I don’t think ChatGPT would have output “specially”, right?
I believe ChatGPT does. I’ll have to go back and see, tho. If not, I gotta up my game.
I have a friend who has worked in HR that will sometimes slip into that tone, but that’s unrelated to ChatGPT
Ironic use is allowed.
But, simultaneously, it is also very, very common for tiktokers and aislop youtubers to just churn out videos with AI voice narration.
Sometimes that’s paired with an actually human written script, often, nope, ChatGPT or something similar.
There are a fairly small number of voices that are widely used… and I remember being a kid and just making MSFT Sam say shit and laughing at it, and then emulating it, though as an intentional joke robot voice.
I think its quite plausible that all the overworked, broke parents that just give their toddler a phone or a tablet… yeah, they’re gonna be watching these short form videos and functionally learning pronounciation that way.
Just the occasional garbage comment or message where someone has clearly just copied and pasted a direct LLM output.
I do feel like lately I have people more bluntly asking me for stuff though and getting frustrated respectfully respecifying what they want but that also started before covid. People just want answers they think should be readily available for a while now.
There’s so very much in that paper that doesn’t seem to suggest what they are saying it does. It suggests people are directly using those tools to create scripts for academic videos instead of their fundamental speech changing. They state that they manually reviewed for “reading vs spontaneous” and found about 30 percent were directly reading a script, but extrapolating the non “reading” samples to not have used AI copy edited outlines in this context is a leap. It would make more sense that they did. These lecture videos were not examples of natural language use in any sense.
Our study is focused on academic communication, yet we anticipate that similar patterns may extend to other communicative contexts.
Seems particularly unfounded (though it really has enough hedges to make it a non statement “similar” “may” with no reference to what context they’re thinking of). It’s also a preprint that gets most of its models from preprints.
Then the vice article takes every weakness of the paper and actually amplifies them to a really profound degree. We’ve got researchers trying to push an AI is transformative narrative and a journalist trying to push an AI makes you stupid narrative right off a cliff into “popsci journalists reporting on preprints make stupid claims” pit.
Literally don’t talk to enough people to notice. 🤷🏿♀️
AI shills are coming for you… Dont you want a friend who lives in data center?!
It’s just a case of art imitating life imitating art imitating life imitating art imitating life. What’s so hard to understand about that?
Chat GPT is not art.
Its a case of matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods imitating life imitating matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods imatating life imitating matrix algebra simulating language through probabilistic likelyhoods.
What’s so hard to understand about that?
Joke’s on them, I already talked like that 😆
The words they studied were, delve, realm, meticulous and adept.
Which sucks, because those were words I used before ChatGPT came along.
