The fact that typo levels go from "subtle" to "human" and "CEO" being the last category makes me feel like this has to be a joke. right?

My favourite ouroboros I saw was an AI that was pitched as being able to make the best AI prompts for you.

This is like "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" but the next thing is always more AI.

Y'all remember those rage bait cooking videos where a woman will pulverize dry pasta into a powder and then make "homemade" pasta out of the powder and then she doesn't cook it all the way through but she pretends it's good and then the video ends? Yeah, dunno what made me think of that just now.

I never imagined a world where people would pay $5 a month to *remove* em dashes. That's not evolution. That's a f***ing disgrace. Oh, yeah, I never thought we wouldn't be able to use that formulation, either.

I’m gonna set these up as posix pipeline filter to make this easy. `claude -p “write shitty content about topic A” | sincerely`

It's a confidence game! The first hustler is an "AI detector" that says whatever you submit is AI. Its partner is an "AI obscurer" that pointlessly edits your stuff. You resubmit that stuff to the first one who says, hooray, this is 100% human! But it only "detects" one thing—the second one's work.

oh so we're in a BUBBLE bubble okay really hope it pops soon bc is such a clear representation of the banality of evil via the promotion of cognitive surrender

Lemme just say that I've really been amused by your trajectory on this. Because you were always against it! From the start! But you used to be a bit more couched/reserved, and then you (like the rest of us!) have just steadily lost patience and are now "working so hard to avoid work!" bit.

Copypasting press releases for the most part I suspect...

My favorite is when I get a news blurb in my feed that ends with, "information collected by Ai. Might not be accurate." Then what tf are we doing here? I too, can do a half assed job on my own, thank you.

As a laugh I put one of my articles through an academic 'AI Spotter'. Fcuk my old boots! I was apparently 60% AI. So I put the same piece through the recommended 'AI Stripper tool' to humanise my work which was...powered by AI. Does anyone want to buy a Tulip or a a Sub-Prime Mortgage?

Think of the poor brodudes who want to get attention on LinkedIn. Writing 10 long broetry posts themselves would be *exhausting*!

jesus christ, these people

I think people who started dumb are, before our very eyes, getting even dumber...

War is peace, freedom is slavery, lying is sincerity

This product is a crime against the humanities.

As a creative writing major, I approve.

Why should your audience give your writing their time, if you're not prepared to put your time into actually writing it yourself?

It's a joke, per the creator. Or at least tongue firmly in cheek.

agree! "Un-AI the AI writing" is just using formatting/style that the main AIs don't use. in actuality, it adds AI to AI.

Maybe I will use it to finally make sense of the AI emails my boss is sending.

Aside from this being dumb as hell this pokes a personal pet peeve: I find branding that people are going to struggle to write correctly because of weird spelling or capitalization. I hate everyone involved in this.

A not terribly clever branding, but with ChatGPT's "strawberry"/"blueberry" spelling woes, seems more like a tell signaling indifference to language -- what it means and how some of us still use it SINCERELY (actual meaning/spelling) to explore and express what it means to be human.

Just insane. Using an LLM to write prose is like over-processing a singer’s performance with Auto-Tune and quantisation to knock out all the pitch nuances and rhythmic grooves. And then sticking this on top is like adding bum notes and timing fumbles. Still an impersonal robot, but now a shit robot.

Calling it “sinceerly” is so sooo gross I’m being gaslit by an app ugh

Oh for fuck sake

I know intentional mis spellings in brand names have been a thing since the days of the sooper market, but in this specific instance it really seems to imply that by “un-ai” your writing what they really mean is introduce spelling errors at random.

What are we even doing anymore

Deliberately misspelled words give me hives

This stuff drives me crazy. We're a goddamn social species, and the way we construct our communication with each other is what makes us unique. Our vocabulary, the way we construct sentences and natural pause points for emphasis, etc. Even for a work email, I can't imagine giving my voice away.

Real hitting yourself in the face with a hammer and then using a second hammer to fix the damage when you could have just punched yourself in the face energy

This app is so late stage capitalism it should come with little American Flags taped to toothpicks.

It's not just a corporate thing - it's a horrifying moment.

Didn't intend to call you out, just wanted to make a light-hearted joke on behalf of failed writers (aka me).

It’s not about the act of writing a book, but about whatever they think being an author of a book is, or should be, and more likely than not it has no basis in reality, like at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's fine! My first books sucked. My first current first drafts still suck. You can always rewrite and improve them. Most of all, one improves with every word they write. You learn from doing. I just dusted off a book I've been trying to write since 2007 or so & am taking another crack at.

I wasn't saying I would use or wanted to use AI. I wouldn't use AI just to say I have written a book, it would not be"mine" for one and two I agree, AI would still equal a poorly written book, garbage in = garbage out.

And it's technically still working on the fic! it just. doesn't result in writing any words. ... and now I'm playing video games instead of writing but THAT is because I don't have a deadline, lol

That is some of them, some want to have written a book because that would make them interesting. To have accomplished something, but they want to do that without actually putting in the time and effort.

I mean, if you're gonna write a book at least do it for yourself first. There's zero guarantee it's going to earn any money. So, have FUN WRITING IT. You can't have fun letting an AI slopmachine squirt something out. It sounds boring!

I mean hell if AI was a better technology I would probably be using it for writing more often, not out of laziness or lack of creativity but as an avenue to get my ideas out there a bit faster. Not pro AI of course, but when people say a picture is worth 1000 words they mean it.

I think a lot of people don't want to write a book, but they want to "have written a book"

I use Organic intelligence. You don't need a data center. Or a computer. Organic Intelligence is so deeply cool, you can generate profoundly disturbing and life-altering content in a fleabag apartment building with a notebook and a pen. I am the cover model for this product. O.I. changed my life

I mean is that even real, or just AI? 🤔

Will we still have coal miners but not writers in the ai future?

If only we could get Vonnegut’s take on this.

Shades of "Sneetches" to me. Star belly Sneetches vs. Sneetches with no stars upon thars The cycle of putting stars on bellies, taking stars off bellies, and the only person benefiting from this is the businessman whose machine is used....

I think people just like to put themselves in a supervisory role by endlessly micromanaging an AI model.

I don’t know that app, but he sounds like a real actor’s actor.

But, what if you are, y'know, dumb? Asking for a friend.

I’ve just had Claude^H^H^H^H^H^H made an app to tell if your AI has been run through un-AI.

Forgetting the intentional misspelling of 'sincerel' in order to be market savvee, could you make a slogan sound more AI generated?

I can't even figure out what it would do, based on what I've seen people list as tells for AI writing. Maybe it removes all the emdashes? But a lot of it is just due to how LLMs work. Another one isn't going to work differently enough to catch stuff.

Mood. Can't be bothered to learn about the latest AI or anti-AI thing. Too busy trying to finish my current WIP the old-fashioned way.

This reads like an ad in the Onion.

Great minds, etc.

Probably right for a bunch of rich people to whom business is as much a game as anything else. And I pointed out when people were discussing the Epstein emails, these CEOs would have assistants and lawyers for any real official business communication, these guys do their business through talk

All the sarcastic replies are going very well with my morning coffee. Thanks!

Actually looking at the screenshot example of the CEO mode, my joke doesn't seem too far off the truth

Am I the only one who finds it funny (and revelaing) that "CEO" and "human" are being treated as separate categories 🤣

I can only conclude someone in the team does not love the CEO.

Lol. Layers upon layers of AI bullshit .

A lot of tools built for people to write things who clearly don't enjoy writing things.

maybe he should have used AI to generate names and profile pictures, so his Harvard Business School buddies wouldn't have to leave fake reviews under their real names

Why just burn one forest, when you can burn two?

The opinion is gaining traction, yeah.

A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't!

If GenAI is apparently so "great", then why are these morons so desperate to do anything to hide the fact that they are using GenAI? 🙄 It's almost as if it's slob

I use LLMs to write one important thing: my twice-a-month reports to the investors of what I did in the last sprint. They *want* to know their people have drunk the Flavor-Aid and that they're gung-ho about LLMs.

lol (this response generated by Sincerely™)

With LLMs instead of humans obvs.

This paragraph makes me wish it were still the first of this month.

Would love some input…I manage a team of content specialists who write newsletter content for me. They receive full credit. What are people doing when others claim to have written something in a professional setting but it wreaks of AI? Confront? Create a policy about how to use it? Ban it? Thanks.

*Flavor not Favor

This is so fucking degenerate

Sinceerly is the trademarkable product name.

All it'd achieve is to make those particular things also make people think AI.

What the ever loving fuck? Use AI to sound more human….

What a waste of time. Because the stories are drivel, not the prose. The prose is perfect.

A can of dehydrated water: just add water. Some are dumber than the others.

I nearly started foaming at the mouth when I saw this.

Amen.

When I said maybe it's bad that they're so addicted to AI they got very defensive and said due to their anxiety it's actually a matter of accessibility and it's avleist to assume everyone can comfortably express themselves in writing.

Use an AI tool to fix the problems caused by using an AI tool! What could possibly go wrong?

😭

"They said Musk was a genius at cars, and I believed them. They said he was a genius at rockets, and I believed them. But I know tunnels, and when they say Elon is a genius at tunnels, it makes me doubt his genius at cars and rockets."

Bizarre, why bother?

We've sold you this disease, now buy this snake oil cure from us as well

Never enough time to do it right, but always enough to do it twice
