In the age of AI-spam, I now treat typos in webpages as a good sign (lemmy.ml)

I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.

A while back, Google trained an AI to learn to speak like a human, and it was making mouth noise and breathing. If AI is trained with human texts, it will 100% insert typos.
