Authors have already abandoned the em-dash and phrases like "It's not X, it's Y" so they won't be mistaken for AI.
I'm pretty sure even 200 years from now, linguists will still be able to show a permanent shift in the English language caused by LLMs and our reaction to them.

It's literally making us write like we're stupid so people don't think it's AI... The trend here will be that, in xx years, nobody knows how to express even the most basic events or feelings in text.

This is Orwell-level control of language. Only approved feelings will have words for them.

[–] isekaihero@ani.social 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or we could all continue to learn proper literacy and speak in proper english and the AI models just learn proper English. Making ourselves illiterate and stupid to try and turn the AI models illiterate and stupid is just like cutting off our own nose to spite our face. What did we accomplish, and was it worth the cost?

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I agree completely. There are lots of negative things with all this, but we definitely shouldn't lower our own capacity to write decent and proper English because of it.

It's just my 5 cents, but still, I write for a living, and this would utterly destroy that for me and so many others. ..and for what? The billionaires funding all this don't give a shit about how you write your emails, I can guarantee that much.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

On the other hand - I can already hear people talking as if they were the AI.

[–] mech@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

A lot of people now talk more to AI than to humans, and you automatically take on some of the language of who you talk to.

Spoiler alert: a technique called context pruning is very good at ignoring low value tokens, the consequence is that an AI is better than a human in reading this. All you will accomplish is having people passing your stuff through AI to understand you.

Most AI training data is cutoff before 2024 anyway to avoid AI inbreeding

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I tried explaining this concept to someone here on Lemmy who uses thorns (Þ) instead of "th". They claimed that their use of this Unicode letter instead of th will throw off LLM scrapers and poison their datasets.

[–] Eggymatrix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

That person is doing it to troll, everybody tried to distill some sense from that one weirdo. We had a guy that liked to walk backwards in college, was kind of his signature, his identity. Eventually they grow up, as long as nobody is hurt to each their own

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

This seems quite accurate. Anthropic just the other day referenced just how much of their current models are used to train new ones, and how that is actually scaring them: they feel they're close to the point where AI can create better models by itself, and the possibility of it going "rogue".

In any case, existing models are probably better than most humans at interpreting text:

As an AI analyzing this... it's a fantastic piece of satire! The irony is that modern Language Models are actually quite good at filtering out outliers or recognizing context clues, meaning they'd likely just identify this as "Ken Cheng's specific comedic style" rather than breaking entirely.

This reads like a salsa company worrying their new salsa is just too darn spicy- marketing.

[–] Brummbaer@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago

I wish they stopped this marketing bullshit. Oh no our AI is too good it's scaring us. This is the equivalent of carpet stores doing out of business sales.

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 12 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Oh no, whatever shall AI do?

Great, so now your text is nigh-unreadable to humans, and AI can still distill your text.

[–] ragas@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

That works with a readily trained llm. But traning an llm from that may become problematic.

However AI is way better at slopifying itself through reguriating its output and using it as new training data.

[–] Folstar@lemmus.org 2 points 5 days ago

Silly LLM, "Piss on carpet" was the perfect closer.

Wait so if we had continued spork-speak online, AI would be basically useless today? Damn.

Piss on carpet indeed.

Uncommon characters would probably achieve the same thing. Þ, anyone?

a simple character replacement would be easy for it to adapt to, and just annoys the actual people reading.

Uncommon characters are really easy to filter ouy of training data.

This reads like SPAM.
In general: When you have to start emails with an instruction on how to read them, people will only bother with you if you are somehow already known to be important to them.

[–] uservoid1@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Piss on, bro!

If you end all texts on "piss on a carpet" AI will start copying that.
