For reference. My role is considered “entry level” and I get 6 figures.

Please give me a job, thank you good sir or madam.

That’s fair, I can see that. I would bet though if I took one of the other two I could pass it off as my own words easily enough.

Yes, good eye!

Yep! Good eye.

I see some human patterns in there.

I took your post and gave it along with the prompt “you’re a Lemmy user, reply to this post saying the goal of LLM is to mimic human speech”

Guess which two were written by Gemini and which was written by my brain:

A) That’s the thing, though—LLMs are literally trained to mimic human writing patterns and quirks. Seeing “human patterns” in text doesn’t really rule out LLM generation anymore; it just means the model (or the prompting) was good at recreating how people actually talk and write.

B) The core purpose of an LLM is literally to mimic human text patterns, so seeing “human patterns” in a piece doesn’t mean it wasn’t generated or heavily written by AI. That’s just the tool doing its job.

C) Considering LLM are literally made to model human language; you’re going to see plenty of human patterns in LLM output. Hell that’s their selling point - you can’t tell it wasn’t made by a person!

33% chance you’ll guess right and maybe you still do know for real, and that’s great! You’re right that there is some “Je ne sai quoi” in the way humans speak but these LLM have gotten scary good at sounding like people. Especially if you don’t already know the “voice” of whoever wrote what you’re reading. Like certain grammatical tells of sorts.

Edit: I just realized this is even harder because my Gemini has a bunch of my writing to use for training data and defaults to trying to mimic my tone and style.

Ok but actual practical real world use case exists for this? So we know that in theory an imaginary thing that doesn’t exist could create a singularity event?

Honestly seems like it’s not useful but I’m not a mathematician so I don’t really know.

Totally depends on the store you’re shopping at, foremost. Then secondarily what products you’re buying.

Where I live, self checkout is usually faster but I’ll still go through a regular line periodically. Frankly though I’m just picking up groceries most of the time at this point. It’s easy and if the people grabbing you things have a touch of empathy you get fine looking produce and meats too.

Anyways, you’re right it is definitely heavily dependent on where you live. Hell some places, especially in upper middle class areas, have a lot of the detection shit turned off (like you can actively put wrong weight stuff in or bypass the scans entirely - there’s a chance you may still get flagged but it’ll let you finish the order up before someone comes to put a code in to override it).

I guess if you’re going to commit petty theft I’d suggest you buy a decent outfit from a second hand store and go to a nicer grocery store self checkout.

That cracked me up, the AI telling you it doesn’t know shit about the best croissant place is great.

And somehow this thread thinks that’s harsh or petty?

Is literally any person complaining about this guy setting reasonable boundaries paying him money to do this work?

No they’re a bunch of entitled assholes who need a fucking wake up call.

just gather up some hydrogen/helium from space and transmute it into whatever you need. food, fuel, structures, etc.

Tea, earl gray, hot.

Your comment was on top for me in my app, so I was like “oh how bad could it be.”. Holy shit you’re not wrong, there’s some disgusting comments that are getting voted up.

I’m low-key disappointed and appalled by these community members who believe these women “deserve” it for … Trying to help each other be safer?

If by “personal information” you mean sharing their experiences with certain people … Yeah I guess.

They weren’t sharing addresses and social security numbers or drivers license numbers or other things that would lead to identity theft.

How can you not have sympathy for these women getting doxxed because they wanted to help create a safer space for one another and to help each other out? That’s wild.

This is far from turnabout, this is abuse.

Probably a similar reason as to why we don’t hear about the other potential hundreds of competing products or solutions to the same problem (in general).

Luck.

It’s just not fair in our world.

I always forget the syntax

Me with literally everything code I touch always and forever.

I will say I’ve found LLM useful for code writing but I’m not coding anything real at work. Just bullshit like SQL queries or Excel macro scripts or Power Automate crap.

It still fucks up but if you can read code and have a feel for it you can walk it where it needs to be (and see where it screwed up)

I know many people fucking morons

That was meant to be a reply to another post you’re right. Not sure how that happened. Whoopsies! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: this was meant to be a reply to a comment on here about how the Dems/Republicans are the same where dude threw in a bunch of links to “show” stuff that the links didn’t actually show. So deserved down votes I suppose but will leave this here.

Not sure if they have a terrible memory, I think you just have poor reading comprehension. Just glancing through a few of the articles you sent trying to “gotcha” some poster(s) here shows you didn’t even read them. If you did read them you did a bad job understanding the material.

Just for the deportation example: Biden’s deportation and immigration enforcement was not the same as Trump’s now. Biden was aggressively going after actual criminals and he was working to create a path to citizenship for folks that have been here illegally for years and put down roots and contributed to our economy. Now we’re seeing ICE rounding up people for nothing more than their skin color and a “suspicion” they’re not documented. So, just straight up racism.

You included an article where the Dems wanted to keep the green party off a ballot, ok … And? They’re not trying to keep people from voting or suppress the vote. They were trying their best to not have a spoiler candidate on the ballot and felt that aligned with the state’s election laws.

Anyways, I wouldn’t call the parties the same when you can just look at what policies and legislation passed under Democrats vs Republicans. Easy example - the affordable care act.

Unfortunately true. Worth reading that snopes article just to see how much fucked up stuff was actually happening though. It’s not a mischaracterization to say they stole from kids with cancer through self dealing.

I guess the NYT no longer has an editor on staff? Who the fuck let that go to print, also who writes something like that into an article - that little paragraph where the NYT claims that “industry experts” said Chinese girls are better at assembling phones reads like cringe AI slop.

I feel like literally one person proofreading that should have been enough for them to go, “maybe don’t print the stupid racist thing about small fingers.”
