Wikipedia's "Signs of AI Writing"
Wikipedia apparently has a page on how to identify LLM - generated text, which I found very interesting.
Somehow, it feels surprising to me that anyone would want to add AI - generated text to Wikipedia. It makes sense if you're a checked out college kid and your paper is due in three hours. I wouldn't trust ChatGPT in that circumstance, but I get the temptation. But nobody's forcing you to edit Wikipedia, you're editing Wikipedia because you want to. Why would you let a computer do your hobby for you? It's almost like making a robot write your personal blog.
Though I didn't consciously recognize some of the tells they list, they create a nauseatingly anodyne style which I know well. But I don't only associate it with LLMs, it makes me think of corporate writing and therapy - speak. It's how my friends and I wrote stuff when we were unenthusiastic high - schoolers.
This isn't how normal people write most of the time, so I assume tech companies intentionally trained their chatbots to talk like this. Somehow that's more depressing.
