this is a pretty good point that often is getting lost coming and going. it's about expertise, man. and I know that a lot of the AI stuff is romanticizing the idea that you don't need to have it, but you actually still kind of do, if you want anyone with expertise to take you seriously.

Do you have evidence for that 50%? Not, "how often do people mistake human writing for AI," but "how often do professionals mistake pitch letters, related to their career, written by humans, as written by AI?"

this is why I can simultaneously be pretty sure that all the robotic emails in my inbox that mysteriously started appearing in the past couple years are AI, and also have very little respect for people who claim they've built zero false positive AI detection software being used for witch hunts.

it absolutely BAFFLES me that people can not connect A to B here. are you not afraid of looking like an idiot on the internet??? LOL DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANXIETY AND RSD??? bsky.app/profile/tolc...

this is the whole thing where everyone is like, "I'm ok with AI in [INSERT X FIELD THAT IS NOT THEIR FIELD]" but simultaneously "OMG it's so bad and wrong" in their own field. Gently, it's probably wrong in those other fields, you just aren't an expert.

i can't believe all these ppl asking you, "How do you kNoWwwwwww". You know because it's your job. And we are extremely good at spotting patterns/repetition in writing. It's very, very obvious if you are a writer.
