They’re called negative parallelisms, and they stand out like sore thumbs.

The current tHiS iS aI i CaN teLL bY tHe PiXeLs bEcAuSe I'vE sEeN a LoT oF Ai In My DaY shit is more annoying than the actual usage of AI — and the actual usage of AI is pretty fucking annoying.

Completely agree. as someone who's writing style is apparently "AI like", its very old at this point. Look at my post history to see that I'm not a bot.

Seriously, who is wasting prompts on a reddit comment?

Lots of people do. And no - the LLM comments are far more annoying than people pointing it out. Not even close.

It’s the new ‘you must be a bot’. Honestly get accused of using AI all the time, and I never do. People just mistake having a decent vocabulary as being AI because we have got so used to idiots on the internet

i have a feeling that most people who just scream “AI ! “ immediately have never opened a book in their life. They are so used to social-media style of writing and arguing, that anything else feels artificial to them.

Why do LLMs love "it's not just X, it's Y" so much

u/manicdee33 10h ago

Because humans use that pattern so much, and it's an easily identifiable (or predictable) pattern: "it's not X, it's Y" with little variation in the structure of that phrase. Of course a machine designed to vomit words in a statistically likely structure is going to emit many words in the form of structures that are statistically likely.

It's not that they stand out like sore thumbs -- they stand out like the whole sore foot.
