I don’t know. A lot of us here are autistic.

As an avid enthusiast of Lemmy, I’d like to delve into this topic a bit…

Nah, can’t do any more of it.

I can’t say I’ve seen a particular uptick in slop, but I’ve seen other red flags. Ah well.

Sometimes I say delve. Like “I hate delves” when I played world of Warcraft. Which I don’t anymore.

Idk man

Well, some people naturally have a flair in their writing style. * thinks back to the times when asterisk talk was cool * * sighs discretely to avoid attracting attention *

Though I know how infuriating it must appear, below the surface is much more complicated and nuanced than it first seems. Perhaps if I threw in a paragraph outlining why or how people notice that maybe an ai was writing the sentence, it’d become clear.

But I’ve seen enough hentai in my life to know how this turns out.

And the comments are worse!! Someone will ask a simple question and get back three paragraphs of perfectly structured nothing that somehow says less than “idk man” would have.

You would have loved Usenet in the 90s. That’s how a lot of people are.

I say “delve” often in technical breakdowns when writing. I never say it out loud because my hands will tell you we’re digging down into a topic. I use em dashes too, when digressing into an important fact that needs to be mentioned but not expanded upon. It comes from textbooks, not plagiarised LLM gable. Call me assumptive, but I’d expect ley has a higher rate of similar-minded people than other platforms - people that have properly studied textbooks at some point.

You can probably tell I’m human because I usuallyiss a typo somewhere in my post where I hit backspace instead of “M” at the lead of a word, causing two words to questionably mash together. Autocorrect can’t help with those. But that’s what an LLM would say if it knew it’s secrecy was in jeopardy

I think you might be getting false positives on LLM ID, but you’re justified in being skeptical. The Slop is everywhere, no reason to think we’re hidden

idk man

I write really long posts and I’ve said “delve” exactly four times in my Lemmy career. I know this because I just checked.

I’m like 99.8%, maybe 99.9% certain I’m not an AI.

I don’t think this is happening but I’ll be on the lookout

Do you have links to any examples? I can’t say I’ve seen a whole lot of what you’re describing apart from a few isolated posts or comments here or there. I’d suggest checking to see if a significant portion of these posts are coming from a specific community or from a specific instance, and then adjusting your blocks to accommodate.

P.S. Since we’re on the topic, I’m not a bot; I just talk and write like this.

P.P.S. That’s not entirely true. I would have written “I’m not a bot—I just talk and write like this.” but it didn’t seem like an appropriate time to use an em dash.

Nobody talks like that. Nobody. […] Or when someone uses “delve” unironically. No real person has ever said delve.

There’s literally dozens of us. Dozens!

Hi Mudkip, you are totally right! Our posts are getting very sterile. We will try to delve into the reason for this and do a better job going forward.
