Happened to my daughter: She’s studying abroad, with an English speaking course of mostly non-native speakers (she is also no native English speaker, but has a better command of the language than most Americans). Co-students were actually asking her which AI she was using because her papers were so good…
Hear me out: intentional spellign mistakes.
Ellipsis…use ellipsis often. AI seldom, if ever, uses them…So your responses don’t have the look and feel of AI.
it looks like you’re having an ellipsis seizure
Ellipsis?
… I don’t know of a better way to put it man.
I am stupid and did not google it I thought you meant elipse as the geometric shape and was confused as fuck
I am stupid and did not google it I thought you meant elipse as the geometric shape and was confused as fuck
ellipses, if you know the plural better
I had to google it to clear up confusion I though they meant this.
tbf that’s still a valid answer, AI does not use ellipses often either
I spent so much time in academia. A lot of us are trained to make objective and impersonal analysis (such as avoiding the use of personal pronouns “I”, “we”, “us” etc.), which I did not realise before sounds dispassionate and cold to laymen. Someone asked me if I’m a bot because apparently I sounded like an anime character. A couple of times, I get into arguments because normal folks would accuse me of “yOu aRe mAkInG ExCuSeS tO TyRaNtS!!” for making a realpolitik analysis of a situation (/r/geopolitics in Reddit is heavily derided for this by average Redditors).
Academically trained folks are ingrained to be conscious of bias and rather encouraged to be more descriptive with the analysis, and less with prescriptive. Otherwise we’d get accused of bias. But when academics do voice out their opinions based on evidence and careful study, they’d be accused of bias. I probably don’t need to elaborate how often educational institutions are accused of being left or liberal. News flash: academics do not come in with inherent bias towards left/liberal thinking, it’s just that their study led them to be more left leaning. Wait until I tell people I am an advocate for a world government by giving UN more power. I might be accused as a globalist bot.
i dislike, but accept, academic style. my argument against it is that the total reliance on passive voice makes research FAR less accessible to people for whom english is a second languange and neurodivergent people. older academics tell me i’m being anti-intellectual. younger academics tell me they don’t know what passive voice is and don’t believe it exists.
i don’t really… know what to make of that divide, if i’m being honest
The rest of the ironic story…the poster was AI all along. /s
That’s why I fill my points with insults and constant profanities. Can’t fucken accuse my borderline insane and blatantly violent rhetoric of being bots because im pretty sure my pros are bit shit. Also could a bot do this, you can now feel that post burn sensation on your tongue.
What an astute observation! You are absolutely right, many people can confuse well written responses as AI and that can be frustrating. Simplifying the language is a great way to make your text seem more personal and human. Let me know if you need help with anything else!
This is the right way to do it: imitate AI to piss off bitchass haters.
You could also shit your pants so those bitchasses would have to smell
Nah, that doesn’t work over the internet, but you do you.
Fuck AI. Simple enough? Bitch.
Perfect choice on Major Winchester for this meme.
Thanks. When I was thinking of it, he was the first one that came to mind.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a MASH meme, much less with Major Charles Emerson Winchester III. What a time to be alive.
also me when people accuse me of being ai slop for using em dashes just because big tech trained their models by stealing authors work.
There was a comment that was a list of 15 items and some chud called it AI slop. Because it was an organized list?
I like to use em, but I’m too lazy to tye them so I just use two regular dashes (–) which I guess I haven’t seen an LLM do yet.
Its actually wild to me that people who use LLMs don’t edit the output to make it look like it was not generated.
For me, the greatest giveaways are the emojis and bad formatting.
iOS automatically converts two endashes into an emdash for whatever that’s worth
just swap them out with semicolons; no one knows how they’re supposed to work anyway
Semicolons should separate related ideas; they should work as independent sentences though.
Em dashes–contrary to how most people use them–are for asides or supplementary information. I also see them used to show a conclusion–a direct response to a prior statement that doesn’t seem appropriate to put in a new sentence.
Best choice is to switch out the em dashes for parentheses ( even where that doesn’t make any sense.

semicolons have commas included, friend.
sorry, replied to the wrong comment
Teaching myself to stop using the em dash has been a real pain. It helps with the flow of reading particularly when talking about technical content. I’ve gone back to the semicolon, sadly.
to quote david herman’s michael bolton in office space:
why should i change, he’s the one that sucks
😂😂😂❤️
em dashes are typographical faffery and have always been (in my opinion) a marker of writers who take themselves, and the surface level of their style, far too serious.
just use commas, my friend
em dashes, en dashes, and commas have different meanings and uses
aren’t all of them “do a short pause”?
no.
- comma: do a short pause
- hyphen: connect two related concept words to loosely create a new word
- en dash: signify a range
- em dash: do an abrupt, possibly long, pause or signify an attribution
- ellipses: do a trailing, possibly long, pause
Just use commas, my friend
vs.
Just use commas – my friend
It doesn’t work very well.
dashes cannot always replace commas, but commas can replace dashes.
thus - commas are more powerful
thus, commas are more powerful
Amusingly enough, one use case for em dashes is a pause where a comma would be too weak — refuting your assertion.
Also, you used a hyphen.
not actually a hyphen, a minus (not that this matters to me in the slightest)
I’m sorry, but “the pause is too weak” sounds squarely in the area of faffery to me.
hyphen and minus is the same punctuation symbol in different contexts, at least how most people, including you, signify the mathematical symbol.
- hyphen: -
- minus: -
- en-dash: –
- em-dash: —
so… yeah. pretty clear it doesn’t matter to you since you speak authoritatively about it while being incorrect
It’s more along the lines of the comma is too weak for the pause. Likewise, there are places where the em dash is too strong for the pause.
that’s why i write with the stylistic frustrations that only a human could truly pull off
At this point I’d just consider it a compliment when someone accuses me of being ai. Oh you mean I spelled everything correctly and sound like a textbook? Thank you very much.
AIs are monotone though
They’ll parrot back whatever attitude you’re talking to them in. I’ve seen screenshots of other people using them and the way they were talking was completely different from how they talk to me. I also get the monotone informational version.
It can get really fucked up actually and contributes to people humanizing the chatbot.
Just start quoting Idiocracy
I got banned from reddit for saying “You sound like a fag and your shit’s all retarded.” I even had it in quotes and linked to the YouTube video.
“You know! Like yeah…right? You know!” I find it hard to believe that an AI would use derogatory terms, which is how we prove that its not AI.

If this format is original it’s genius
I can’t verify that it’s original, but I’ve never seen it before.
What is… “This format”?
Meme template
Can you explain? Who is this guy?
That’s Major Charles Emmerson Winchester III of course!!
He’s a character from the Korean war comedy “M.A.S.H.” where the main characters are mainly doctors, nurses and support staff of a mobile army surgical hospital.
The major is a physician and from an “old money” family and he’s constantly reminding everyone he’s better than them, despite not being the best or second best surgeon on the base
Major Winchester from the TV show M.A.S.H.
Thanks!
Yeah-typical-AI_Right guys 💪
