Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions

to be fair, even hacker news users still sometimes say AI generated text can be spotted by emdashes even though that hasn’t been true for a long time, and those folks trend far qualified to comment than most public social media. same with generating hands, but i really only see that one on places like reddit. it’s not contained to lemmy, is my point.

Heh, I’ve been abusing em dashes for years – even before LLMs.

But yeah you’re right. The “luddites” (not meant in the derogatory way) exist among many demographics. I’ve actually noticed an interesting dichotomy with many very skilled engineers who I greatly respect: Some have embraced AI and leveraged it to build some VERY cool things, while others still think AI is incapable of anything because they haven’t figured out how to get decent results with it yet.

One of them even handed a somewhat complex task to Claude Haiku (the model that generates the title of the conversation based on the first prompt), then determined that AI is just trash 🤦🏻‍♂️. Claude Sonnet was able to get it done though.

  Luddites were specifically protesting the use of automated sewing machines because they could… take their jobs.

    Correct. I suppose I could have linked to that context or something. Thanks

  Honestly, I use Ai but very rarely use it, it’s good at a few things but not good at everything

I use AI a lot — it still spits out em dashes all over the place
