Recently, there was this article, A Reddit Bot Drove Me Insane. It’s about AI enganging with itself, and when we, humans, fall into that trap, it feels like a very unnatural place to be. So much, that at some point, we might not willing to interact with the internet, since it’s mostly bots and no real humans in there.
I’ve seen someone commenting on the text without any mistakes.
This didn’t really read like AI slop; and I feel like people are having a psychological break on everything related to AI now.
I have gone on to prove in various forums many times that misspellings — aren’t AI slop. Aren’t proof that AI is writing things, etc.
But still it happens. When the wrong grammar or verbiage is used (but context is clearly kept), people jump to “BOT!” — without realizing that AI doesn’t make those mistakes.
I’m calling it AIDS. AI-Derangement Syndrome. Y’all m’fers have AIDS.
Oh. It’s just recently I thought I probably don’t want to edit my posts to improve grammar, because this tiny little misprint, it actually shows my posts were written by a real human (me, Basil Skrnk) on a real keyboard1. But I still do that, because I like my writing to be good. At an expense someone might think It’s AI. I cannot do much about it, to actually prove that’s human writing. Perhaps I have my style, and It’s recognisable.
Most of my keyboards are from Apple (MacBooks + just regular computer keyboards, but from Apple). They’re great, since they’re mostly the same. At least the keys are at the same places, if they’re of the same region. Mine are from the UK and Netherlands, so they’re the same. But also, I have non-Apple keyboards, some cheapo ones, but also fancy and somewhat expensive Logitech keyboards. They’re good, but they add this thing that infuriates me sometimes, I misprint some letters, so these mistakes happen all the time. On the other side… it’s the prove I’m a real human and the text are really typed, isn’t it? ↩︎
