The left really needs to get more proficient with using AI. The IQ benefits alone are staggering.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
-
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Using an AI to write an argument in favor of AI? Please. Debate us like a real human. You're not a bot. I'm not a bot. Act like it.
Downvote me if you like, but NONE of my comments are AI-generated. I type them out, by hand, with my thumbs, on my phone. Every single one, goddamnit.
This is one (of many) downsides of AI—people confusing long-form text with machine-generated text.
(And yes, I used an em-dash here. Eat shit.)
I hate this, because my son was also flagged his school’s AI-detection system, even though I 100% know he wrote his essay (I watched him do it). The reasoning? His paper was “well beyond his grade level.” It’s bullshit, and I’m pretty irate about it. I taught him all the paper-composition principles we learned in high school: introduction, body / main thesis (including the rule-of-three [no more than three main bullet points], and Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion), summary, and conclusion. And proper punctuation. Fuck.
So my question to you is this: how does one go about proving a negative? You say I used AI, I say I did not. How can I prove that I didn’t? How could you prove that you didn’t? Yeah, it sucks, man. One thing I actually hate about the advent of LLMs.
I didn’t use AI to write that.
In fact, I don’t use AI for writing at all. I use it in the ways described above.
Also, I use bullet points in my writing. I’ve done this for many years. And I am not going to stop. It adds clarity.
I use italics for emphasis. I’m not going to stop doing that, either.
Nor will I stop using the em-dash.
Just because LLMs are trained to mimic good writing style, doesn’t mean we should stop using these style principles ourselves.
