       Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the Apple II is nowhere to be seen in Apple's (admittedly very cool) animated history of its seminal products on the https://www.apple.com/ homepage?The iPhone generation might not recognize it, but that machine made Apple an actual consumer products company and carried it for at least the first ten years of its existence.

       @Rairii Is the em-dash thing really a reliable tell? I use that all the time, (or space-hyphen-space in  code comments) 😬

       @jernej__s @Rairii It might be easier on Macs: Shift-Option-hyphen, or Opt-hyphen for en dashes. Also, part of my job is editorial work—checking text and making sure it matches our style guide—so I'm pretty used to those keyboard shortcuts at this point.I just get worried when I start hearing these "you can always tell AI by the fact that it uses X" because a lot of times, X is a convention used in professional writing. I come from an academic background, so I probably use a lot of AI tells.

       @Rairii @jernej__s yep, I'd imagine that settles it.(Also, I do wonder how Claude Shannon would feel about a future where the first thing computer people do when they see his name is curse and close the tab)

       @docpop Funny how AI-related policy changes are revealing deeper problems that existed before AI was an issue.Like, Dietterich's text would make perfect sense even in a world where AI never existed. And I wouldn't want to imagine the reaction if blue-check-guy here was a student, asking that question to a teacher/professor in, say, the context of a class on how to properly structure academic writing.This isn't an "AI" thing, it's a "some people don't belong in science and never did" thing.
