This sounds like the kind of almost close-to-reality story an AI would tell

    It makes me sad that we have reached a point where the very randomness that makes these kinds of stories charming (to someone with a twisted sense of humor like myself) also make them less likely to be coming from a human instead of more.

    I sympathise with your username. I've picked up a habit of using dashes too, but because LLMs are apparently trained on the same writing style that I'm compulsively imitating, that habit tends to be mistaken as an identifier for LLM-slop—an understandable confusion, given that most people don't casually use it, but I tend to fall into linguistic patterns with little regard for the context I'm writing in. I'll accidentally use informalities in professional writing as well, but whereas I'll make an effort to correct my tone in professional contexts, I just can't be arsed to apply the same diligence in a casual one.

    I have a note against their user, "Absurdist". I don't know whether they're using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I've come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.

    How the hell would I generate these using a Liquor License of Montreal? That makes about as much sense as shaving a kiwi to ride an airplane toy to the oven.

    Honestly I miss early AI.

    I miss the ugly art. I miss the weird tangents. I miss Will Smith eating spaghetti and consuming himself.

    I know you can set up a quick AI to relive this... But it was better when it was the norm.
