What would you trust to determine if a post is primarily or entirely generated by AI?
An abundance of em dashes and bulleted lists along with vocabulary uncharacteristic of the author.

This em dash thing is bizarre. They are not unique to AI. The hell is so triggering about them? To me, they just show that a keyboard, Word or gtammar and spellchecking are used.

MG knows he’s using AI to produce his now uncharacteristically long posts with unusual vocabulary (but much and/or stuff going on anymore, which was his hallmark). We all know MG is now using AI to produce his posts. MG knows we know, and we know he knows that we know. Shades, do you honestly believe MG is now not using AI to make his posts for him? If so, I have a great lunar investment opportunity I’d like you to invest in…
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Of course you are correct. It's just that most people don't use them, so when someone uncharacteristically makes a post with five or six of them it becomes suspicious.
To me, they just show that a keyboard, Word or gtammar and spellchecking are used.
Correct again. It's just that (aside from using a keyboard) most people don't do what you describe.

I don't see the usual tells, so please report the ones you feel are A.I.-generated and include supporting evidence.

Thank you for your insightful contribution. You've convinced me by sheer force of logic.

What would you consider to be “evidence”?

So now that I have two Marxist progressives desperately searching my post for supposed evidence im AI, are we using the AI thread to post evidence? I've already started. I've posted four of my previous post from a year ago, two are around 1000 words. AI comes back saying the post are written by a human. How many do you want me to post? 100?

This will be fun. Me against the Marxist! Oh boy!! :lol:

Why have you concluded that I’m interested in your posts? Go back and you’ll see I was talking about MG 2.0. Or is this a confession that MG 2.0 is your sock puppet, or you his?

Canpakes. The first off topic post in this thread is from your good friend DrCamnPP. Let's see how you manage this situation.
[MODERATOR NOTE: Hi Hound of Heaven,

If you see an off-topic post that you wish to bring to a moderator's attention, please use the "Report" feature rather than derailing the thread itself. Thank you.]
Thanks, Shades. I’m sure that now you’ve reiterated the proper procedure for addressing questionable posts that we’ll see it used by all board participants accordingly.
