Seems like a lot of entities are "quietly" doing things these days. The llm-ification of every piece of text on the internet is driving me crazy

Drives me crazy too, but headline writers/editors were addicted to "quietly" long before LLMs. Online journalism has been full of these types of tropes for ages.

I hate it. I was on a history subreddit yesterday, reading a submission that was an AI generated history piece —- but seemed to be sourced entirely from a fictional hollywood movie

I only knew that because i saw the movie, but it’s a clear sign that the internet is going to shit for quality information

I thought at first when you said “fictional hollywood movie” that you were saying that not only were the details in the submission made up, but the movie that they got them from was also made up.

I wonder if this will mean a resurgence of encyclopedias or other authoritative digital records that are known to be verified.

		Well, I suspect the non-LLM ones will become much more expensive than they are now due to the specialist knowledge they’d require to make combined with the smaller pool of people willing to pay for the difference

the trope is that they actually said the quiet part loudly

"Quietly" is not a new LLM-ism.
