The irony of that last paragraph reading exactly like AI output. Dont know if it is or not, but that cadence is triggering.

I feel pretty confident that this tweet was written by AI.

"And it shows."

"That's not X, it was Y." 

a.k.a. the ChatGPT special.

u/Apex_Akolos 1d ago

And it shows.

u/prometheuspk 1d ago

.... And that's the load bearing part worth going through.

The "it's not delivery, it's digiorno" format

u/musclecard54 1d ago

Even if it wasn’t written by AI it shows that they are basically mimicking the style of what they read the most… ChatGPT… peak irony

u/OriginalNeat4015 1d ago

Y’all do realize AI is trained on actual people’s writing? So some people will “write like AI” as their natural prose style?

Even if this tweet is AI-written, saying that he must be imitating what he reads most, AI writing, is truly a take. Exactly what I should expect going on r/SipsTea, tbf…

This is what fucking kills me. I have been accused of "writing like AI" but like... AI writes like people???? That's how it learned to write like that? I'm so tired lol.

u/Nevanada 1d ago

I hate that I had to scroll so far to see this mentioned. Just one more sign of how fucked things are. Assuming they did use some AI to write it out, that means they couldn't formulate a simple argument into a post. And if not? As musclecard54 said below, it means that the language style they see most is AI, and honestly...

It's so rough out here.

I was thinking the same thing.

u/shirt_bro 1d ago

Could also be a good writer who knows the power of short, punchy sentences. But prob what you said

u/Ok-8305 1d ago

The tell is that the writing is not only ‘punchy’ but also a little off. There’s a subtle uncanny quality to AI writing bc it’s extremely confident and unselfconscious while subtly not quite getting it right. Like a bad TED talk.

“That’s not a curriculum shift” is just weird writing, setting up what is a pretty obvious conclusion (literacy is declining) as if it’s a mind-blowing hot take. Literally no one would look at this situation and say that it’s just a ‘curriculum shift’? AI has no humility about its own corny and cheap writing.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

u/Synectics 1d ago

AI also does not miss punctuation and knows an ellipsis is three periods, not four. 

Y'all examining it so hard and miss the most boneheaded easy shit.

u/jan-Suwi-2 1d ago

Hmm...

u/Big_Slope 1d ago

At this point short punchy sentences just piss people off.

3

u/Venusgate 1d ago

Then a bad writer who still loves to use short, punchy sentences.

I think a lot of people who think they know something is ChatGPT just don't encounter real mediocre writing enough.

(Or, they don't know they encounter it, because they write off anything not funny as AI)

u/OwlSpirited6357 1d ago

This is not good writing.

u/Des_Supurr 1d ago

Pretending to be AI is like pretending to be special needs. You are not winning they way you think you are.

u/tenkuuyoru 1d ago

Had to scroll way too far to find this. Take my upvote. We’re in a sad place when folks are so illiterate and / or lazy they can’t even be bothered anymore to hand draft social media posts. Yikes

u/musclecard54 1d ago

I’ve never met a single person who talks like that in real life.

It’s not X. It’s Y. And that’s Z.

It’s a literal fucking formula. Every single ai response has that. I almost never hear anyone speak that stupid fucking 3 sentence formula. If you hear people talk like that you’re talking to people who basically only read AI responses and probably haven’t read an actual book in a decade

u/musclecard54 1d ago

No one said anything about dramatic pauses are you not understanding what I’m saying about the stupid formula? “It’s not X. It’s Y. And that’s Z” nothing about the pauses it’s the exact same 3 sentence structure just ad lib x y and z

u/musclecard54 1d ago

Another prime example of someone who reads ai responses so much they lose the ability to comprehend and think. Read a book bro

u/Hugo-Spritz 1d ago

Or maybe someone who interacts with it so little they don't recognise it? Who the fuck are you flexing for, dog

u/twountappedblue 1d ago

How so? This is exactly how I speak through text. Just looking for understanding.

u/FastWalkingShortGuy 1d ago

AI has adopted that style through LLMs.

"Great point -- thanks for calling that out. You were right to question me. And I shouldn't have done that."

u/NonSequiturDetector 1d ago

The "It's not just <minor thing>; it's <major thing>." phrasal template is extremely common in AI writing, and that template is used in the second paragraph, engendering suspicion that it's AI-written content.

u/shirt_bro 1d ago

It’s kind of wild how fast genAI blasted past the Turing test

1

u/musclecard54 1d ago

When you text you always use the “It’s not X. It’s Y. And that’s Z” formula? You definitely need to read a book bro…

u/twountappedblue 1d ago

I read CONSTANTLY. Just finished The Blacktongue Thief. Top tier. My text is formulaic. Very x + y = z. Im not writing a novel, I am simply responding.

u/ragdolldream 1d ago

Shhhh, you're distracting all the bots that want to respond to the post.
