I've actually started to recognize the pattern of if something is written in AI

It's hard to describe but it's like an uncanny valley of quality, like if someone uses flowery SAT words to juje up their paper's word count but somehow even more

It's like the writing will occasionally pause to comment on itself and the dramatic effect its trying to achieve

Yeah it's called bullshitting. It's the way lots of people are encouraged to write in high school when the goal is to see if the student can write a large amount of prose with minimal grammatical errors.

But once you get to post-secondary you are expected for your writing to actually have content and be fairly concise in expressing that content. And AI falls on its face trying to do that.

Yeah, this is true! It likes to summarize things at the end in a stereotypical format

[-] RatBin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

It's not a bad format either, AI seem to enjoy the five paragraph assay format above all other even for casual conversations.

Yes, it could be worse, but I'm stealing this and from now on calling the crappy AI essay format an "assay."

The LLM isn't really thinking, it is auto complete trained so the average person would be fooled thinking that text was produced by another human.

I'm not surprised it has flaws like that.

BTW here on Lenny there are communities with AI pictures. Someone created a similar community but with art created by humans.

While the AI results are very good, when you start looking and comparing it with non AI art, you start seeing that the AI while it is unique it still produces a cookie cutter results.

Yep, AI art is just getting through its irrational exuberance phase. It was (and sometimes is) impressive to create art in a style most of us can't draw or paint in. But AI models tend to produce very similar results unless very specifically prompted. AI art creators are also using a lot of other tools (like ControlNet, which allows you to replicate composition elements from another work) to break out of the "default AI model" look.

All of that points to an immediate future where AI art is seen as low-quality and instantly identifiable, except where AI art creators have spent a fair amount of time customizing and tailoring their image. Kind of like...real artists using pre-AI modern tools like Photoshop, filters, etc.

I have issue with using AI to write my resume. I just want it to clean up my grammar and maybe rephrase a few things just in a different way I wouldn't because I don't do the words real good. But I always end up with something that reads like I paid some influencer manager to write it. I write 90% of it myself so its all accurate and doesn't have AI errors. But it's just so obviously too good.

You are putting yourself down unnecessarily. You want your resume to talk you up. Whoever reads it is going to imagine that you embellished anyway. So if you just write it basically, they'll think you're unqualified or just don't understand how to write a resume.
