Do you wrrite in the style of AI?
Do you get a bit fed up reading AI Slop out there?
Do you noitice the difference?

 

I read elsewhere (probably on AI Slop) that there are clear markers - the one which I remember was the em-dash, which is not directly keyboard-accessible, suggesting it was written by someone without fingers;  but there is plenty of AI feel-good slop which is aimed at making people more compliant and accomodating to injustice, rather than fighting it - Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colours, rather than the Guns of Brixton. 

You’re right that some writing patterns look automated, but people lean on shortcuts and templates too, so it’s not always a clean tell. The em dash point gets thrown around a lot, but plenty of writers use it out of habit or because they copy text from apps that insert it automatically.

The bigger issue is the tone you mention. Some content does feel soft and comforting in a way that steers you away from criticism or anger. That’s not about punctuation. That’s about intent and who benefits from shaping conversations in that direction.

You don’t need to choose between Coat of Many Colours and Guns of Brixton. One speaks to hardship, the other to resistance. Both have a place. The problem is when only one mood gets promoted.

I always make the odd speeling mistake to ensue my missiles are not confused with automation—maybe I'll buy a keybpard with an Alt 0151 symbol.

That's the sort of equivocating <deleted>e that marks out AI slop.  Have you been AI in all the years that we have known each other?

He got back to me,and responded

The first clause in the first sentence of your comment begins by agreeing with the original post.

Therefore, we can obviously see that this was completely composed by an artificial intelligence, mimicking human language.

 

Speaking of tone, tone is a far more important tell.

For example, Gemini would not be allowed to assume the same tone as I.

Google disallows this.

 

AI writing is not supposed to represent reality.

AI is not about reality.

The purpose of AI, instead, is to distort reality, and then promote the distorted representation of reality AI has created.

 

We humans have had enough of reality.

We have had reality up to here.

If we wanted more reality, we would look out our windows.

Instead, we choose to use AI to create a more palatable representation of that which we can no longer endure.

 

Just as soon as AI becomes powerful enough, we will all choose to escape this world, and live inside Super-Hero bodies that can make love, ...

10 times a day.

 

We will artificially stimulate our pleasure centers within our brains, until...

We begin drooling non-stop, every day.

 

There will be no time to wonder what might or might not have been composed by an AI of yesteryear.

This is why forums like TV will, someday soon, begin to deliver content almost unrecognizable in this year, 2025.

 

So, yes, I can easily tell when an author has resorted to AI to compose, or help compose a comment.

I never would stoop so low, since doing so would be uninteresting for me.

I am here for a different reason, not to impress people with my use of Gemini, but to...

Interact as one human to another, or one-to-three, which is even better.
