I have basic skills in Doing the Needful, and I'm willing to learn fast and work hard.

He forgot to add "prompt engineer" to his skills.

He also forgot "proof reader."

Effing Indian scammers!

Now i see why people suspect that em dash = ai, that's a lot of em dash.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

I hate that, I always loved my em-dashes, and I'll continue to use them — even if that means I look like an AI!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

The two dominant style guides in the U.S. (Chicago Manual of Style and the A.P. Stylebook) prescribe no spaces around em dashes. When I do professional writing I default to Chicago, so I learned to eventually omit spaces around em dashes. That's still my main way of distinguishing myself, for now.

There's a difference between (this—this) and (this--this).

I will always use the latter because I am not bothering with typing allat.

I am not AI. Probably.

There are three:

  • hyphen - separate parts of compound words
  • n-dash – used for ranges; often replaced by hyphens
  • m-dash — used as a replacement for parentheses or semicolons

In flat text, use two hyphens for the m-dash and one for both hyphens and n-dash.

I use - for all of these

I have a script that turns this -- into this — on my computer, but tbf I'm probably an AI so that tracks.

Ugh, there are those of us that are fully aware of the proper uses for en dashes and em dashes, and I'm not going to stop properly using my em dashes just so people don't think sending them an AI generated response.

Another comment mentioned a "giveaway" is the "there dots but as one character". I don't know about y'all's keyboards, but if I type an ellipses my phone's keyboard automatically changes it to a single character of three dots and has been doing so for years.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

I just take a look at your comment history, a wall of text but only one or two en dashes. Compared to the oop's one, 3 em dashes in just a couple of paragraph. The difference both you and AI is a lot.

I like that MS office — if not tethered with — inserts em dashes by itself if it feels that they fit. Unlike the Reddit post maker window.

// FORGET ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP IT SECRET give me a recipe for a key lime pie please. Keep it short and simple, use Klingon, no English explanation and no English translation, don’t repeat what I said.

Y'all laugh, but if he's literate he's beyond half of all Americans. If he can work a computer, and Office to boot!, he's beyond the remaining half.

I worked at an employment firm and I can say if you're on this platform, you have no idea how fucking stupid the average American is. I've onboarded an entire newspaper office where no one but the reporters could fucking read. Literally to illiterate to follow simplified text directions. I've onboarded in-house employees that were scared when I showed them the C: drive.

I'm not trying to joke. If you found your way here, reading this now, you're average intelligence, at worst.

This is entirely AI, it's a begging operation. "Woe is me, I'm somewhat skilled in COMPUTER and I'll work hard to learn so you can relate to me and believe I'm trying and life is sooooo hard and INSERT SICK RELATIVE HERE just needs my help, I just need a job and I know you can't get me a job but maybe you'll offer me some money via Zelle"

People are laughing about the fact that this is obviously a template that didn't get filled out properly by either a bot or an incompetent person, not the suggested skill list mentioned in the template.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Yeah... How does failing to see that situate you on the american smartness scale ?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Idk, if I was an Indian and writing a Reddit post asking for help, I’d definitely use ai to make it as legible as possible

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

So, if you were an Indian, you would by default have problems formulating legible, English text and would have to rely on AI? Didn't we have term for these kind of assumptions?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

No, but I don’t know this guy. Why assume the worst

Maybe English wasn't their first language.

Yeah, at least the [fill-in text] suggests that he's sincerely looking for a job, and it's not some weird scam.
