By the same token, you could just read the Cliff's Notes and burn down an acre of rainforest to achieve the same results.

It's just... A plot synopsis is on every book's wiki page. For free. If that's your idea of "reading a book", it's right there.

I prefer to just look at the cover and airdrop invasive beetles

Ironically, this text seems to be written by an A.I.

Check the quotes ' vs the curved ’ the AI are using.

The multiple long dash... And the lack of substance of the whole text....

I fucking hate that the use of emdashes (i.e. —) is associated with fuckass LLMs. I use them all the time and now I'm worried I'll be mistaken for an LLM.

Saaaaaame. I've heard that semi-colons are similarly associated with LLMs; This is another thing that feels like an attack on me personally.

An attack on literacy.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Indeed—semicolons are usually associated wirh LLMs! But that’s not all! Always remember: use your tools! An LLM „uses“ all types of quotation marks.

AI is just using the typographic characters just like newspapers and magazines always did…

You can replace food with nutrition gels.

Ha. Intellectual Soylent.

It's amazing how bad the quality of the writing is, for an article that's complaining about ChatGPT.
