The misfortune of Ai writing style

[L1aei]

Never knew it was a thing! I apologize to all the authors I met in my past.

Here is some of my early research on how to write, as I'm not someone with literacy (?) background:

Hyphen! Thank you. I completely forgot what those dashes were called.

But if u read my original post I didn't talk about em dash tho? In fact I uses "it's not amazing, it's wonderful" as an example

Yeah, this was my fault. Em-'s are apparently more of a thing with humans... that said, it looks bloody weird seeing them used so much by AI. I will admit that I am wrong here though.

This dash is named after En-chan, but En-chan doesn't like to use it. En-chan prefers the longer dash. Big dash---with a lot of character---is what En-chan prefers.

Honestly it also makes everything harder for non-AI users. You can write and edit your entire story yourself, and still have randoms calling it AI in reviews/comments. Kinda sad.

What I find so aggravating is to be accused of being AI. just because you clean up your grammar. I want to say how can you accuse me of being that, because the shit I write is weird and I'm holding back. I guess it is what it is.

You could do what I once did: write in real-time with an audience. I just said earlier in this thread about using Google Doc and that thing does invite others to observe.

Good idea

Judging a story as ai generated or not based on em dashes is wholly unfair. Many novels on SH and RR used them long before ai was a thing. It’s all in the cadence. Read enough of it and you’ll see. It’s not the em dash. It’s not the short sentences. It’s the rhythm. It’s the nonsensical, overly dramatized metaphor. It’s the overly poetic, mechanical prose.

I literally have the same reaction to a.i books and badly written books, one star, stop readings, never think about it ever again.

Does that mean you already vomited twice during this thread?

Due to my ADHD, there are stories that won't ever see the light of day. Because I used AI to satisfy my curiosity.

Here are the things I found:

ChatGPT tries way too hard to be human (at least for the old 4o bunch), it will repeat a lot. When I say a lot I mean a lot. All due to its limited capability, after 3 responses it will have dementia.

Deepseek and its cohorts will sound very mechanical, you'll have the vibes of reading a poorly translated mtl work.

Claude is the most human-like, it can generate pretty cool plot points on its own. But it like to use a fuckton of em dashes and repeat a bunch of synonyms for what it perceives as impact.

Due to my childhood fascination with human organs (my dad is a surgeon, he has a load of patient surgery photos on his phone), I wanted to recreate that feeling of looking at red organs dyed in blood. But these LLM really want to avoid describing organs and mutilation, it often switches to character expression or trying to divert the flow of the story.

What AIs can't write is humanity, it doesn't have any in the first place.

I like that paraphrasing the magic the tech those foundation books were good

The first law of robotics. WE DO NOT talk about the laws of robotics!

I am tired of seeing this. At least 4 out of 13 titles I skim have been written by AI without the authors bother editing them out.

two word. two word. two word. word, tricolon
no x
no y
no z
nothing.

Roughly thirty percent? Not bad, considering...
