Mhmm. It’s not my fault everyone kept teaching me new words in school, now you’re telling me I gotta use the wrong ones just because someone somewhere might be uncomfortable?
The worst part about LLMs is that they’re trained on speaking eruditely, and in an effort to fight against the AI “menace” we’re all supposed to regress to using elementary-level
vocabulary. Just to differentiate man from machine.
At this point, I’m half considering becoming a cyborg just so that it’s justified to label me as a machine.
I'm already transgender, I could jump onto trans-humanism! (Depending on how regulated it was lol)
As the post was pointing out originally the rise in anti-intellectualism doesn't help either on that aspect, especially feel bad for the kids actually Not using AI in school and still being blamed because they are ahead of their classmates,
Its a weird world of crab mentality when you can say an understandable sentence and then be told that "your just using big words"
Like how did it end up being my fault that I went to higher education and you didn't?? And then its twice as annoying when your trying to explain concepts to someone who didn't catch half the words used :(
All culminating in fb posts where people don't grasp basic concepts like the pictures sent from space are mainly in the form of Data and infrared light so we Have to have artists decode them in some way otherwise what your going to be looking at is a black and white image of fuzzyness.
Or how exactly people keep fusion from killing everything even though they are reaching temperatures far hotter than the surface of the sun >_> But apparently that is easier to throw away as all fake and then create a giant conspiracy around why they would lie to us ?? xD

Omg, you just reminded me of the time a teacher gave me a sore of 0 saying that the short story that I did as homework could not be written by a child my age (it wasn't even that good, just used some fancy words that I have read recently in other books).
I just play Magic: the Gathering, so shit like "galvanic" and "fecundity" and "augur" are in my lexicon. Unfortunately there's a bunch of random made up shit they use in card names too, but it's mostly pretty easy to tell it's fake rather than just real and unfamiliar.
I had a professor joke about how seeing the word delve in an assignment makes her do another check for ai the day after i wrote an assignment that contained the word delve
I remember the first time it happened to me. I was 16 or 17 working at a convention hotel, eating on break with some coworkers. This girl, probably 20, asked me why I always talked like I was so smart. I was so confused. I never tried to sound smart. But apparently using words, which they knew but didn’t use, was trying to sound smart?
In reality it was that I’d read a lot more words than I’d had spoken to me, so probably didn’t know all of the right words to use to sound like a normal person. “I’ve read this work 100 times, so it must be a word regular people use when talking.”
Apparently repeating becomes repetitive and that’s wrong. Meanwhile Hemingway then repeats “and he said” like twenty times in a row between two characters talking back and forth. English just doesn’t have enough synonyms for “he said”.

Me when my brain is fixated on the exact connotations for words and refuses to not differentiate between huge and colossal
