Coding expertise is going to collapse from AI reliance

Out of curiosity, I just tried this:

  write a comment about how to use ChatGPT to write a game like you're a barely literate reddit user, short answer, maximum incoherency

and the result was a pretty good simulation. I tried less insulting prompts first, this did not produce a good simulation.

Not perfect, gptzero.me still knew it was AI generated (tayo42 is human by the same measure), but if for some reason someone was using an LLM prompted with that pattern, I suspect it would fool me in a Turing test unless I found the keyword to force the agent to change the role it was playing.

Redditor is too easy.

Conveying the errors typical in a Raise The Colours group on Facebook, that's the hard stuff.

I'll take your word for it, I think I'm in zero groups on Facebook, I only even look at the feed when I see a notification in Messenger; and I barely use Messenger, too.
