AI writing at its finest
> The one idea in this step: a model writes by rolling weighted dice between several words that would each be fine.
> The one idea in this step: the key secretly colours the shortlist and gives one colour a gentle nudge. The text still reads normally.
> The one idea in this step: with the key, you can re-colour any text and simply count. Marked text lands green too often to be luck.
> The one idea in this step: the mark lives in runs of untouched wording. Editing erases it exactly where the runs break, and nowhere else.
> The one idea in this step: detection is private, probabilistic, and about processing, not authorship.
I suspect someone prompted the LLM with "have just one idea in each step", because apparently breaking down a process into steps is just toooo much wooooork these days.
There was an odd key to unlocking it sounding like a human. I spent like a month on this topic last year, and I randomly stumbled upon something that ended up massively improving generated tests.
It was a shot in the dark after failing so often. And then it suddenly sounded good.
Rae bought all the candy at the store - Milky Way, Reese's, M&Ms, everything - and set out for Kay's party.
That can't be rewritten as,
Rae bought all the candy at the store; Milky Way, Reese's, M&Ms, everything; and set out for Kay's party.
Semicolons set off independent clauses - what would otherwise be complete sentences. Em dashes create breaks in the flow of the sentence; commas are more similar.
