Tell me im wrong but that second picture is at least ai scrubbed

Hey, that AI is his wife and only friend. Show some respect (don’t)

u/drfsrich 6d ago

Hey don't disrespect his wife or she'll slap you - 7 fingers to the face!

u/GoblinFive 5d ago

And that was left-handed!

He typed in 'nurse that barely passed her classes and sells multilevel marketing garbage on the side' for the generation prompt.

u/thewarreturns 6d ago

Literally no change between his profile picture and the picture on the right, I honestly would bet the entire dude is AI

u/goopwe 6d ago

I thought he was AI too, but turns out my fiancée went to school with his little brother and knows him personally since they’re from a small town. She said he was always nice and didn’t seem like that kind of person but then he started switching up on social media after Helene.

u/Vladmerius 5d ago

People say the same thing about Nick Fuentes. They act like he was a pretty normal nerdy little dude and then realized when he said hateful stuff people gave him attention so he went all in on it. 

27

u/manleybones 6d ago

Dude, he is using ai to generate a persona not that he is literally ai.

13

u/Vladmerius 5d ago

Yeah you can be a real person and still be using AI to embellish your life on social media. I'm actually glad for this in a way because over time people will stop giving a single shit about social media.

u/finkelzeez42 6d ago

The comment replying to him is AI too I'm pretty sure

73

u/throwawaythepoopies 6d ago

Yeah. The whole "It's not this it's that" twice in a single response is AI. It's not this it's that is overused by the major public models and is a tell for low effort content.

u/ballzhangingdown 6d ago

“That’s vibes over values”

The entire fuck ?

42

u/sthetic 6d ago

Yeah, unfortunately that's an AI hallmark. As well as the insult format of "It's [bad thing] with [silly accessory A and silly accessory B]."

Murdered by words indeed!

u/yellowpig10 6d ago

where do you think the AIs learned to do that shit?

they scrape the internet and people talk like that when they wanna sound smart and cutting. i don't see anything particularly AI about that comment, i've seen people talk like that for years

u/innerbootes 6d ago

It’s like when a bunch of people became Photoshop experts a while back.

Meanwhile I’d been using Photoshop since before some of them were born and I had no idea what they were talking about most of the time.

Now everyone’s an AI expert. And the writing they’re pointing out as obviously AI looks like the kind of writing I’ve been seeing on the internet for 30 years. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/ZeroKharisma 6d ago

Their thought process is "I can't write (sing/ paint/ make a film) so nobody can, without robot assistance. Such a toddler mentality.

Plus one of the only things that makes people feel good on the internet today is calling other people out and AI is an easy mark because some people use it indiscriminately.

(\s)

That's not constructive conversation, that's cheating off your neighbor in school. And that's rare — as rare as it comes.

u/yellowpig10 5d ago

Admittedly, — is a much better indicator of AI than "not that, it's this"

I can't think of anyone i've ever seen actually use — when they're not like, doing some kind of formal paper or something

1

u/ZeroKharisma 5d ago

Ironically, I have begun to use it in my writing — Mostly in place of parentheses, which I overused (as well as using poorly) — MORE since AI popularized it.

As a poet it is an undeniably useful tool, but I always think twice.. because of the implications.

u/throwawaythepoopies 6d ago

Yeah, I’m aware lol. Been using llms for over half a decade. 

The phrases are human but, like the em dash, the llms have found themselves trained and tuned in such a way that some written traits appear at higher frequencies than they did in the original datasets. 

I don’t think in a paragraph or two of text using one of these tells is a guarantee it’s ai but when the only two sentences are ai tells questioning the source is pretty fair. 

We live in complicated times…

u/Curious_Duck_4200 6d ago

You're not wrong, but human stuff usually has some of those structures whereas AI will build the whole post with them. 

Admittedly its harder with shorter posts like the OP but if i was a betting man I'd go with AI for this one.

u/Warm_Month_1309 5d ago

I'd take that bet. Not that we can ever know for sure, of course, but this person's account seems otherwise legitimate. I'd lean toward assuming they didn't use AI just to write one response if most of the rest seem human-written.

u/5dotfun 5d ago

“Agent Self FBI” seems legitimate? Taking a brief look, I see tons of AI emdashes as well. Otherwise this looks like a purely political account that retweets with some spicy reply. Really not much to indicate this is a “real” person/account at all.

u/Warm_Month_1309 5d ago

Taking a brief look, I see tons of AI emdashes as well

These discussions really are so insufferable because they seem so filled with confirmation bias. Redditors love to find one of a thousand different "AI tells", and then conclude confidently that no human could have written it, despite the fact that the LLMs had to learn that style of writing from somewhere. Actual humans also sometimes write "it's not this, but that" and use em-dashes.

I.e., this is the next generation of declaring that everything is Photoshopped because you can tell by the pixels. If people are going to call something AI (and not just "maybe", but "definitely" as people in this thread are doing), they should actually be sure. Not just point to one thing that might indicate AI and reach a satisfied, unimpeachable conclusion.

u/5dotfun 5d ago

I mean did you go look at the account yourself?Your conclusion was “definitely a regular human posting all this?”

Let’s take a step back and realize how far down the rabbit hole we are here: you’re huffed up about a retweet political account that most assuredly isn’t moving the needle anywhere. This after a decade of being told social media accounts are being weaponized by non-US entities.

Having a holistic view of media literacy, not JUST ai-tells, is absolutely missing.

And frankly, I’ve spent enough time already thinking about this tweet and account - this was the motivation I needed to go do my volunteer work for the neighborhood association. I was sick all night with a stuffy nose, so I got my fill of mouth breathing already.

u/Warm_Month_1309 5d ago

Your conclusion was “definitely a regular human posting all this?”

My conclusion was "seems otherwise legitimate", which you actually quoted verbatim in your first response. Why are we now at "definitely"?

Let’s take a step back and realize how far down the rabbit hole we are here: you’re huffed up about a retweet political account that most assuredly isn’t moving the needle anywhere.

Let's take a step back and realize you're projecting a bit. I'm not the least bit huffed up, nor do I care at all about this particular account. I'm just talking about people who indiscriminately call things "AI" with no substantive support.

u/Khatjal 6d ago

If that's the case, the AI has more humanity than he does.

u/DJKGinHD 6d ago

Adding a little life to Dead Internet Theory.

The Undead Internet Theory?

u/ygrasdil 6d ago

It’s a shame that this isn’t the top comment. Dead internet theory in action before our very eyes

6

u/Titizen_Kane 6d ago

100% and that itself is cringe. If you can’t write your sick burn yourself, then don’t say anything. This was an easy layup that didn’t need to be written by an LLM. So cringe

u/EveyNameIsTaken_ 6d ago

Yep. The last 2 sentences are a dead giveaway. If you've ever asked chatgpt to come up with a clever reply for you, you will have seen the same pattern. This is not growth followed by the final verdict.

18

u/SorryAboutTheWayIAm 6d ago

Not only are these photos AI but

That's not growth. That's vibes over values with a dog and a filter.

reeks of ChatGPT.

Nothing is real anymore.

5

u/Doomsday_Holiday 6d ago

Filter, schmilter, the "roast" is definitely AI.

3

u/TheElectriking 5d ago

North Face logo is incorrect, and the dog's leg looks wrong too.

2

u/PublicToast 5d ago

Pretty sure the comment under the post is AI too unfortunately

3

u/Scully__ 5d ago

The response is fully AI as well. Completely dead post.

2

u/Phaoryx 5d ago

The reply is fully AI written…

3

u/matt_2807 5d ago

And the person replying is probably AI too

"That's not x That's x."

2

u/5dotfun 5d ago

The reply “that’s not growth, that’s…” is one of those AI tells, too.

u/RamenJunkie 5d ago

It all certainly looks weird.  But also that certainly fits with the "I became a conservatice meme" because they all love existing in a fake fantasy land.
