A humans only publishing outlet would be worth while. @stefano

@stefano I wouldn't have thought this post was LLM generated, but I will admit that bursts of one sentence paragraphs often make me suspicious, even though I know it's a writing style that LLMs originally got from marketing copy written by humans.

@stefano Huh. I read your "I Solve Problems" and, unlike AI, any disjointed prose therein had purpose. It reads like a human with much to say (from a lifetime of living) reducing all of their thoughts and experiences to a few lines, and not -- as accused -- a puzzle-piece assembly of corrolated words, dead-end statements, fabrications, evidence for thesis, critical steps, or cliches. As someone else said already it's likely your accuser is a poor writer, poor reader, and relies on AI for both.

@stefano Las IA solo hacen photobashing, no crean, solo recomponen. Sigue produciendo. ¡Que no decaiga!

@stefano I feel this. On my last article my spell checker broke because of an update so the final edit ended up getting published with few misspelled words… oops.

Multiple people commented that it was a technique to make an AI generated article seem more human 🤦

@stefano I've been accused more than a few times of being AI myself. I guess that's what literate, grammatical writing looks like to most people now. I suppose that makes sense if you write as badly as many people seem to now, but it's sad.

@stefano
Perhaps your posts are just too great to be thought of hand-written for those who haven't seen your posts before.

I have seen my tech blogs crawled several times as well, but I think it's a good sign for traffic (and even my colleagues said 'oh this post is good', but they didn't know it's written by myself lol)

@stefano Humans? pfah. I write for the machines.

@stefano Best and goldenest moment is if you get an unexpected comment or mention from a real other human being.

@stefano just read a couple of your blog posts and clearly anyone accusing you of using AI is just too busy being obnoxious to actually stop and think about it

@stefano Language is a constantly evolving matter, so is AI. It is neither about rule of three nor em-dash; we simply cannot spot if something is written by AI, anyone who claims they can are fooling themselves.

FT has an on-point article about it:

@stefano Helpful if you watch for certain words. For example, have AI write you a post, then notice words. All of them use land, scaffolding, etc. Try to avoid using those words. It's the ones that you also see on threads/twitter posts that were clearly AI generated.

@stefano I am fortunate in that I write fiction and am from a multilingual country where we mix and match our languages to create interesting words which means I can salt my stories with local words like gogga (insect), larnie (posh) and ou toppie (old man).

@stefano It's entirely possible that the person saying 'written by AI' doesn't actually believe that. It's likely they are simply a shitty human who has found a new insult to fling.

@stefano
I wonder: Have you ever written a false article, to poison the AI bots?

@stefano keep #blogging.... ultimately it's not about who wrote something but whether what is written had sustainable value.

@stefano I still wait for the moment when someone asks me with what AI I write the release news and articles.

People cannot imagine anymore that there a people out there that do things completely without AI. I like to do things without it because I feel more intelligent when doing so (if that makes sense).

@stefano I've made an effort to make sure my own writing is just a litle quirky and have personality. Which I am sure the A1's/LLM's will get better at being. At some point, the bubble will crash, AI's will be expensive and only used for things they are needed for, and we will need and appreciate your skills.

@stefano

I, too, have been accused of being an "AI". I suspect it is largely due to my writing style as I take care to use good grammar and spelling, form carefully-crafted sentences, and use both em-dashes and Oxford commas. 😂
