AI newsletter ‘Bay Area Letters’ has auto-penned a case study in AI journalism that I will be using in all future presentations on this topic. In a tight 200 word post it showcases all 4 major giveaways that expose a robot hand trained on clickbait – that what you are reading has had no human fingerprints on it, whatsoever.
Here is the article in full showing the four regular giveaways:
- Emoji bullets – ain’t no human got time to hunt for these,
- The classic ‘it’s not X but Y’ structure – that says nothing,
- Leading question and answer structure, and
- the emphasis on ‘building one Y at a time’
⛵Honestly? I’m sure these ‘tells’ will get weeded out eventually, one digital ding at a time. It’s not a question of if, but when.
