What makes you think this is AI slop?...

These are particular sentences I find questionable. Would you write that way? I certainly wouldn't.

GPTZero is by no means perfect, but it agreed this was likely generated.

  • > Would you write that way?

    Well English is a foreign language for me, but yes I probably would, and then I'd get called out for being an AI haha

  • We should instaban anyone who uses these patterns on ycombinator. If you talk like that for realsies, well too bad, try being more human and less linkedin next time

The heading " Why it's wrong" and the structure:

>Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness.

This is slop. What it's saying is not even true, it's just punchy.

  • Right, recent youtube solo lecture vlogs ripe with these clever punchy finishers. Annoying. I know people aren’t smart enough to actually be that witty ad hoc. Makes the whole thing feel fake af
