No. In my experience AI is great at stringing words together. If you look at individual sentences, they’ll sound perfectly reasonable, but the next sentence or paragraph won’t quite line up with the ones around it.
The dreaded em dash is probably the stereotypical tell you’re dealing with an AI. No keyboard I’m aware of has a way of inputting it natively, and most text entry forms on the web won’t automatically parse a double hyphen (--) into one, which is frequently how word processors do it. Ironically I literally just found out by previewing this post that Lemmy’s markdown parser does do exactly that. I think uses or is related to Pandoc, given the syntax for collapsed spoiler blocks is identical to Pandoc’s div syntax.
Here’s an example of a Reddit comment likely generated by an AI. Another tell is that it will hallucinate things that the OP never said. It talks about legal claims, for example, but the OP never mentions the language in question carrying legal weight.
I thought mistakes were considered symptoms (and therefore proof) of “AI slop”.
Absolutely not.
