Editing the post to switch five "it's X not Y"s[1] is pretty disappointing. I wish people were more clear with their disclosure of LLM editing.

I recsind my previous statement. Also, people have to stop putting everything on github.

Why? To me, hosting previous versions of an article in a public git repo adds transparency. Or perhaps you are talking about GitHub specifically?

That is correct for the collective as a whole, but in his instance, if this wasn't connect to a public github, it would have been substanially more difficult to prove he used a LLM.

You're supposed to also remove the fancy UTF-8 quotes that people can't normally type, the EM dashes, and reorder sentences/clauses because the paragraph level "template" slop is really obvious to people who use these models all the time. (I'm also pretty sure that the UTF-8 shenanigans with LLM responses was done very on purpose by those who have a vested interest in making it easier for mass surveillance of written communication.)

Or, use the "deep research" mode for writing your prose instead. It's far less sloppy in how it writes.

These people are amateurs at humanizing their writing.


This is terrible. So disrespectful. It's baffling how someone can do this under their own name
