| Right so it’s gonna be a litmus test for knowledge workers going forward if they can separate style over substance. Genai tells are style. You have to be able to evaluate the ideas. |

| ▲ | dang 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I doubt that you can separate style from substance in that way, because you can't separate writing from thinking. I agree that it will be interesting to see how this develops going forward. One can imagine wildly varying scenarios. | |
| ▲ | hypfer 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Hm. Nah. Why? Why should I care? If it's a good thought, chances are it appears without slop around it.
If it doesn't re-appear, life will still go on regardless. No need to shift through noise just to avoid FOMO. |

| > .. what are those em-dashes doing there though? You're literally doing exactly the bullying I was trying to avoid, even while denouncing it. I like em-dashes. I have AuDHD, and they help me represent how I think. |

| ▲ | hypfer 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | > You're literally doing exactly the bullying I was trying to avoid Uhm, no. Really just no.
And, frankly, I find it shameful that you'd throw such an accusation at me. But I guess we can stop here. Idk man. The internet can be a bit too much sometimes. I truly get that, but this was too much from your side. Wish you all the best. | | |
| ▲ | skeledrew an hour ago | parent [-] | | Why did you point at the em-dashes? It looks very much as though you're accusing the author of an update that was also generated (possible but they seem sincere enough about wanting honest feedback on the content, and making changes for that). Or you're saying the author - and maybe everyone in general? - should no longer use em-dashes because they're a LLM smell. Yeah I'd feel offended too. It's a real pity I can't find em-dashes on my keyboard, or I'd stick them in this comment. |

| The em dashes are fine. If someone gives them shit about their writing, that's on the critic for being shitty. If they use AI to write, that's on them for being fake. But, to write online at all requires being ready to have people be shitty to you and ideally not reacting in a way that makes the situation worse. Sounds like they need work on that part. Anyway it is basically always possible for someone to find something legitimately bad about anything a person does. The question is, how much of an issue is that? Not much actually. So you have flaws. Fine, just be flawed. It had no affect on your life beyond your reaction to the attack. And putting aside that reaction is a prerequisite for learning anything useful (or discerning that there is nothing to learn) from the experience. Good people will trust good intentions through the flaws, while shitty people will write off your work and your intentions because of the flaws (and try to make sure you feel bad about it in the process). But it's always they're too weak to express disagreement maturely, or sometimes because they're bitter and threatened by your good intentions directly. Either way, it's their flaw, not yours. |

| ▲ | hypfer 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't think that you can successfully dismiss an obvious AI writing marker with "No these are fine, now look over there!! <lotsoftext>" Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain? | | |
| ▲ | ajkjk 12 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | What? You are confused--human beings write em dashes also. Also you're being a dick to the OP, grow up. | |
| ▲ | logicprog 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Great, so I rewrite everything in my own prose, and now it's still "obvious AI writing," just because I'm literate. |
