You've written nearly a Bible's worth of content here! [1]

I wonder how much you and I singularly contribute to the training data being used for tech-focused AI bots now; presumably they're training on software-people-websites?

I'm quite sure we're all in the training data. The biggest downside is that I keep getting accused of being an AI! I will write a long, well reasoned comment, and then get messages to not post AI slop.

Well I can't help it if my writing trained the AIs in the first place! We all did. That's why we all sound like AI!

Having seen many of your comments over the years, I don’t think I have ever seen an emdash, so I believe you when you say you’re not AI.

You're absolutely right!

Actually, I use em dashes a lot in my longer form writing -- and have been for years.

I've had to do it less to avoid accusations of being an AI.
