The fediverse used to feel pretty anti-ai, but over the past month or two I’ve noticed a LOT of generated memes and images, and they tend to have positive votes.
Has there been a sudden culture shift here? Or is there a substantial percentage of people just unable to tell the difference anymore?
Why is this written ai style lol
AI writes the average. This person speaks the average.
Nah this is just AI.
Half the stuff I write gets flagged as AI generated when put into a “”“detection”“” service because its too average. You can’t reliability filter AI text from non-AI text. Hell, even a lot of the tankie rhetoric here reads like a hallucinating AI, spitting out over-long sentences with little meaning and no overarching argument.
Maybe whatever automated detection service you’re using can’t reliably tell, but a human who knows what to look for can. This whole format just looks very obviously out of place compared to any typical reply you’d see on this platform.
You mean using subheadings? Yes, AI often does that, but it doesn’t have to, nor do people avoid it.
There are more tells than just that.
Actually, the biggest tell is that for how long it is, it’s mostly noise with little signal. Some of it doesn’t even make sense, “check what instances or users you’re federated with”?
I pasted the full post title and body into ChatGPT. I bolded the subheadings and removed the emoji bullet points.
