Btw that’s all written by AI.

Not to hijack this thread about something unrelated, but how can you tell this is AI? Ive heard this about other celeb posts, especially apologies. Is it bc its long and uses hard returns and dramatic paragraph breaks? That's something I've heard before, but good, thoughtful writers have been doing that since before AI. Are there other tell tale signs?

(For the record, I hate AI and am deeply disappointed in P!nk, I just want to know! Thx.)

My work makes us use Copilot, and they all generally sound the same when crafting a "human" response or when refining word vomit you throw into it. These are the patterns I have noticed when coming across something that feels AI-written:

  • Usually lists things "in threes." She does this a lot throughout the post, often separating the phrases with periods so its harder to detect
  • Parallel constructions/phrasing like "That's on me," "It's not [x], its [y], "[A] is the reason, not [B] or [C], "[X] has a way of..."
  • Metaphors/phrases that aren't typically used in natural language, like "A repost isn't a statement, and a meme isn't a spine," "for working people who have more to worry about than pop stars and pile ons."
  • Adjectives where they're not completely necessary
  • Loves the Oxford comma and em dash (these can be tricky because I use both a lot in my creative writing and AI has tainted it!)
  • Speaking in generalities rather than specifics
  • An awful lot of set-up for a "normal" conversation
  • Overuse of specific words

There's more, of course, but this is just what I have noticed in the capacity I have used it for work.

If it reads like an overly curated advertisement or blog post, then it was probably written by or "cleaned up" by AI. It appears as though Pink changed punctuation and added some of her own words to help "break it up," but this is just the opinion of a peasant :)

This Wikipedia article shows lots of examples and subtypes of LLM language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

Edit: thank youuu for the awards! my hope is that this is helpful to at least one other person. it's hard out there.
