  I just want to point out that there were text generators before ChatGPT, and they were ruining the internet for years.

  Hey now, King James Programming was pretty funny.

  For those unfamiliar, King James Programming is a Markov chain trained on the King James Bible and the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, with quotes posted at kingjamesprogramming.tumblr.com

  4:24 For the LORD will work for each type of data it is applied to.

  In APL all data are represented as arrays, and there shall they see the Son of man, in whose sight I brought them out

  3:23 And these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, and all the abominations that be done in (log n) steps.

  I was first introduced to it when I started reading UNSONG.

    This was such a good idea, so many of these are fire.

    then shall they call upon me, but I will not cause any information to be accumulated on the stack.

    How much more are ye better than the ordered-list representation

    evaluating the operator might modify env, which will be the hope of unjust men

  I feel like the term “touch grass” applies to this comment more than anything.

      Well OP said that bots posting shit on social media alienates people from being part of modern society

        When you can’t trust the people online you interact with to be a real person or not, it’s hard to interact within the internet.

        Sure, you can find real human connections by “touching grass”, but the internet shouldn’t be a monotonous landscape solely for consumption and not interaction. It was not built for that, and shouldn’t ever be.

        Well the study we’re commenting under calls out that press releases and job postings are also becoming increasingly LLM-written. You can’t avoid those simply by touching grass.

    “Touch grass” is exclusionary and divisive. I asked Copilot to explain why.

    The expression “touch grass,” often used to suggest someone take a break and reconnect with nature, can unintentionally be exclusionary, especially for people living in arid regions where grass is not readily available. For instance, in parts of the Middle East, where the landscape is predominantly desert, grass is a scarce resource and the idea of “touching grass” might feel disconnected from reality. This phrase overlooks the diverse ways people around the world engage with their environment and can unintentionally alienate those who don’t have easy access to grassy areas. It’s a reminder that language should be mindful of diverse experiences and environments.

      Maybe that should be a reminder to be culturally tolerant and not over-interpret figures of fucking speech. It’s an English metaphor. Have you ever been to England, they love their manicured lawns. Performative outrage, the lot of it. I could say that the AI missed the ball but then the AI would complain about quadruple amputees being insulted over not being able to play sportsball. Cut me a fucking break.

      Okay, I won’t say touch grass anymore. I’ll just say what I think instead: GO OUTSIDE YOU TERMINALLY ONLINE FREAK.

      Do you think that’ll be better?

        Yes, it is more inclusive.
