Much like AI pictures, AI writing looks good when viewed from a step back but falls apart upon closer examination. There's already a lot a bad writing especially in professional contexts, so it might not be readily apparent. A good chunk of the population is going to get left behind
so look, some of the 'tells' of AI in here are things I feel by instinct, and I could be wrong about any individual one, but apart from the obvious stuff (lists of three, 'not this but that') and the less obvious (no personal recollection, all just abstract nouns) there's a *meaning gap*...
Also something like “groundedness”. Not about physical details but a sense of a mind reflecting on its own experiences.

I’m sure Sarah Friar of OpenAI feels it’s great to “write” with ChatGPT so I can explain with hers.

There is no thinking about the person in here.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Started watching "Dispatches from Elsewhere" (Netflix) and started noticing some nods/references to the documentary "The Institute" (2012), about an experimental alternate reality game in San Francisco that almost got too real 🤔

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.
