    So Alberta can look at a solar farm that generates clean power, supports pollinators, and keeps land productive, then decide the real threat is that someone might have to see it? This isn’t environmental protection. It’s bureaucratic sabotage dressed up as concern for the countryside.

      It’s not X, it’s Y.

      Is there a way to block a users comments without blocking their posts? This bot is responsible for like 60% of the traffic of this sub.

        It’s not X, it’s Y.

        Tons of people on the internet write in this style. I did, frequently, well before ChatGPT.

        That’s where LLMs got the habit from, then inbred it into each other. Dare I say it may have bled back into human writing too.

        Personally, I’d want to block “is this or is this not AI” threads on Lemmy. I’m sick of people thinking they’re human LLM/diffusion detectors when that is (outside of obvious cases, or logit watermarks) physically impossible.

          I’m not screaming about an em-dash. Look at the first comment they make on their posts and come back and tell me what you think.

            I wasn’t involved here, got curious, did look and… Yeah it’s odd. An awful lot of commonality.

            I also dislike this sort of condescending tone on forums. I’m guilty of it too, but it never makes me want to engage.

              I’m not being condescending at all and your comment makes perfect sense in isolation. It’s stupid to call out a single construction (or punctuation mark) as you’re interpreting me as having done. I’m just assuming you’re smart enough to see a pattern when you see it repeated often enough; so sorry, I guess?

        It would be even better if there were fewer insolent block wardens and more active participants.

          The posts you make are pretty good conversation starters; why don’t you see if you can get by without leaving a seed comment if you can’t write one yourself?

            It’s a shame my comments are too much for you. Perhaps you’ll learn something over time?

                something tells me you are the exact type of idiot that believes that a proper educated person sounds like a bot and therefore is a bot.

                comment edited and put in lower caps only so you don’t accuse me of being a bot too.

                The very fact that you believe that shows just how much you still have to learn. It’s no coincidence that even top universities have stopped their witch hunts. Or perhaps you should just work on the way you express yourself?

                  Dear Eicker,

                  Please, continue to piss off witch hunters while drumming up real thought provoking conversations. Keep doing whatever you are doing.

                  Sincerely, Everyone who still believes in Intelligent Communication and Critical Thinking.

                  Anyone can read the seed comments on your posts and come to the same conclusion. This isn’t picking a sequence of unlikely noun-adjective pairs, it’s a consistent pattern across all your first comments. You’re obviously (?) a person and can think and write for yourself, so why are you having LLM do the work for you?

                  Someone mentioned you have a side hustle selling social media AI, so you might want to disclose any bias you have about forbidding people from calling you out for using Gen AI.
