Found a video guide to spotting posts written by LLMs. Thought it might be useful. (www.youtube.com)

TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

  • Use of the em-dash (—)
  • Parallel sentence structure (e.g. "It's not just X, it's Y")
  • Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
  • Delineating line breaks with emojis
  • Odd/unnatural verbiage
  • Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
  • Exaggerated and empty praise
  • Weird analogies and similes
  • Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

  • Including anecdotes
  • Written in the first person
  • Tangents and nonlinear storytelling

Same. I used to write articles for an industry mag and that's how I was taught to do it.

Some word processing apps automatically convert two dashes to an em dash. I've got that turned off right now.
