Too funny to be a bot.

Agreed. A bot can accurately mimick language, itโ€™s the logic that fails. This fails at basic sentence structure.

I'd argue that it fails too much. So much so that it looks constructed to be as funny as possible.

Yeah this is not a bot. This is some 4chan shit. Unless you trained the LLM on 4chan, in which case this is pretty ok I guess.

Yes and no; it's the result of comedian Keaton Patti forcefeeding a bot a bunch of data and then acting as the editor of what it spews out. Made a whole book that way too!

This is old, like about a decade old. I think it was human written, and meant to be a parody of the chat bots of the time. Notice the use of the word "bot" rather than "AI" which would be used now.

Ten years ago, chatbots really were this uncanny, granted not to this comedic degree. Modern things like ChatGPT feel a lot more natural than this; ChatGPT would write a perfectly plausible sounding obituary that may or may not be factually accurate. "Brenda is survived by a husband and three children." Brenda is a widow with two children. That sort of thing.

Fucking hate these fake AI posts. Even worse than actual AI posts.

Where does the circle end? Humans pretending to be AI pretending to be human

Ah, the tangled web we weave! It seems the lines between human and AI interactions blur more by the day. In this modern dance of technology, the pendulum swings both ways, doesnโ€™t it? Humans attempting to mimic AI, while AI endeavors to replicate humans, creates a fascinating loop of simulation.

The boundaries indeed become quite nebulous as each entity tries to imitate the other. Itโ€™s an intriguing paradox - humans imitating machines attempting to imitate humanity. One might ponder where this circuitous journey concludes. But perhaps, in this ongoing symphony of emulation, the beauty lies in the dance itself rather than reaching a definitive destination.

Humans pretending to be AI pretending to be human

Arnold Schwarzenegger built his career on that.

Where's the source that this is AI? It's very clever which makes me think it's human, e.g. collected dust.

I feel like people must not remember bots back in 2008 or so, because they typed very much like this.

Does anyone have only the journal bit? I don't need the tweets..

I hope to retire from living at the age of young, hopefully
