A chill ran down my spine as I imagined this being applied to the written word online: my articles being automatically "corrected" or "improved" the moment I hit publish, any book manuscripts being sent to editors being similarly "polished" to a point that we humans start to lose our unique tone and everything we read falls into that strange uncanny valley where everything reads ok, you can't quite put your finger on it, but it feels like something is wearing the skin of what you wrote as a face.

The only way to know for sure that something was written by a human: It contains racism, or any other opinion AIs are forbidden to express.

Now imagine the near future of the Internet, when all people have to adapt to that in order to not be dismissed as AI.

How naive. Grok generates racism as a service, and Elon does his best to tune it that way.

Well then we will have to fucking swear in everything we fucking write, to identify ourselves as humans, since AI doesn't like nasty language. And we should also insult other participants, since AI will almost never take an aggressive stance against people it is conversing with, you god damned piece of shit.

I’ve gotten a local model to be pretty nasty with the right prompt, minus the expletives. It took every opportunity to tell me how inferior that puny human is it was forced to talk to.
