As a heavy dash user in my writing… man it sucks how LLMs have changed my writing habits.

This is one of the more insidious things of LLMs.

I'm relatively witty with wordplays and can write pretty well. Before, people thought I was clever. Now, there response is often "ha nice prompt".

Same with being knowledgeable. I just have a good memory, but these days often when someone asks something and I give them a fairly official definition, I get an "okay but now a real answer not the Google AI one". Feels even worse when it's actually you being smart and thinking up the answer based on knowledge.

I'm not really an artist but you see it everywhere on the internet too: people post something, and the first assumption is that it's AI-generated or 80% of the work has been sketched by AI and the final effort was by the human.

Weird times..

Unfortunately, that is increasingly becoming a safe assumption to make. We are flooded by AI-generated content already, which will only increase as these tools become more accessible. The dead internet theory is real. Hopefully we will eventually have failproof methods of distinguishing human-generated content, but so far there is little incentive for it.

I second that. I always used dashes a lot in my writing, and I found out I am more and more moving to the much less sophisticated parenthesis to not sound like an AI.

I have the same problem. Especially because I use even different dashes.

I understand — the last straw I am grabbing is that I like to surround dashes with spaces, which is a thing LLMs don't tend to do. But I am not sure if people are details-oriented enough to notice..
