"Recent large-scale upticks in the use of words like “delve” and “intricate” in certain fields, especially education and academic writing, are attributed to the widespread introduction of LLMs with a chat function, like ChatGPT, that overuses those buzzwords."

OK, but please don't do what pg did a year or so ago and dismiss anyone who wrote "delve" as AI writing. I've been using "delve" in speech for 15+ years. It's just a question where and how one learns their English.

Same thing as with em dashes. Some of us have been using em dashes from before ChatGPT.

For both of these examples who the fuck cares. I just evaluate AI writing people send me the same as any writing.

If they’re using AI to speed things up and deliver really clear and on point documents faster then great. If they can’t stand behind what they’re saying I will call them out.

I get AI written stuff from team members all the time. When it’s bad and is a waste of my time I just hit reply and say don’t do this.

But I’ve trained many people to use AI effectively and often with some help they can produce way better SOPs or client memos or whatever else.

It’s just a tool. It’s like getting mad someone used spell check. Which by the way, people used to actually argue back in the 80’s. Oh no we killed spelling bees what a lost tradition.

This conversation has been going on as long as I’ve been using tech which is about 4 decades.
