It’s Not Human, It’s AI

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:

  1. Emoji bullets – ain’t no human got time to hunt for these,
  2. The classic ‘it’s not X but Y’ structure – that says nothing,
  3. Leading question and answer structure, and
  4. 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.

Analogue Generative Artificial Intelligence

I haven’t seen this done, yet, but a brilliant introduction to the concept of generative AI is the well-known improv game One Word At A Time.

The idea of the game is simple, a team tells a story one word at a time. That’s it.

Which is roughly what Large Language Models are doing; just on a grander scale and with some secret sanity simulations built in.

In a group setting, try it. Give a team a prompt and see how easy it is to get close to a coherent answer.
