Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

yes, I checked since thanks to our tech overlords you have to do that these days - anyway this guy has been on reddit for 13 years and has a pretty consistent voice - so no, I do not think this is AI

@sjroadw.bsky.social

it doesn’t scan as ai to me. seems pretty organic.

@mokalottay.bsky.social

I personally know this man. Not AI. He’s been very vocal and I’m proud to know him and happy to see his words getting spread.

and has referenced a number of specific military experiences over a number of years

It seems like it might have been his own sentiments run through AI for polish - and yes, as I specifically said, I looked at his old posts.

I’ve certainly heard of a lot of normal people doing that these days - running a LLM over their own writing to smooth it out. I don’t love the practice but it’s also very arguably not inorganic either.

we really do need a discussion on how we as a society conceptualize "when you write a post and run it through a LLM, how much of that is YOU and your ACTUAL VOICE AND MEANING, and how much of that is the AIs"

The thing is it sounds like ai because the ai was trained from reddit content exactly like this.

@samtjack.bsky.social

It’s still AI-written; he prompted the AI to try to ape his manner of speaking, and perhaps he did some post-generation editing, but it’s still entirely obvious. Go to his profile and read some comments from 7 or 8 years ago. They are quite different in style.

@bookshop.bsky.social

it could be that he was really young 7 or 8 yrs ago (lots of redditors make accounts as teens) and got better at expressing himself on the internet as he aged. just looking at his comments over the past 2-3 years nothing strikes me as inconsistent. A ChatGPT version of this would be flatter imo? 🧐

I agree that it’s his own sentiments run through AI.

Comparing someone’s writing from 8 years ago is… not an accurate assessment, at all.

@biglywords.bsky.social

If our AI overlords ever start dropping an appropriate 'brainless cunts' into it's screeds we are all fucked imo 😅

Faine Greenwood

Eh they’re capable of doing that - my guess is he may have run a LLM over his own organic post.

Well, we're fucked because this is definitely AI
