"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.

Fortunately, em-dash users who have been posting to HN long enough can point to evidence of our pre-ChatGPT use:

So you're the ones who have been training the robots.

Reddit and HN are among the highest quality sources of training text and are probably weighted very heavily as "probably human" in the mainstream models.

Any source of text with huge amounts of automated and community moderation will be better quality than, say, Twitter.

>>smt88+5G
Reddit is anything but high quality.

>>what+JL
Not in that sense; high quality in the sense that there are a lot of actual, real people posting there, and those people tend to come from a pretty diverse set of backgrounds.

>>kelnos+gc1
Perhaps on the smaller subreddits, but have a look at /r/all on any given day and it's obvious that real people, and diverse backgrounds, it is not. Every single subreddit that goes above a certain activity threshold collapses into the exact same state of astroturfed, mass-produced political slop targeted towards low IQ people.

Yeah, there is still a lot of manoshpere / rightoid adjacent content on Reddit. It used to be worse though.
