God damn metanoia.

I feel like the internet is programming me.

At this point it is impossible to tell if AI writes like people or people write like AI.

I personally noted that I'm starting to use some LLM idioms "it's not just .. it's .." and I don't like it. I'm actually trying to stop using computers and read books to replenish my mind with more diverse idioms.

same, I also try not to read claude's output that much, and I have a copy of Gibson's Mona Lisa and just open it while it is thinknig, for music and even for CS stuff, I search with before:2022 on youtube

but the ship has sailed :)

there is no hiding from it

of course the content we consume modifies us, but now everybody "reads" the same book, whatever they read.

> before:2022 on youtube

funny trick. similarly when I use LLMs I try to make them emulate people's writing patterns from previous eras.

I write bad, but my text editor is putting little grammar and spelling squiggly lines under everything and I click through them and end up with very AI-like text. My emails even end up with emdash in them. It’s to shrug. You don’t know if text today is completely prompted or is just cleaned up by modern grammar and spell checkers?

		Sure I do. You're almost good enough, at pretending to lousy construction, to have fooled me. Use more words next time; the semiliterate invariably mistake volume for quality.
