I skimmed this criticism of Pokimane and got to the fourth paragraph before I realized I was reading a chatGPT output. The emdashes are the most obvious giveaway, but the constant restatements and trouble with building conclusions are also clear tells, if a little more subtle.
In this case I agree overall with the post, but GPT (or grok - they all write the same) argued the point for the poster and did a mediocre job overall, especially for a post with 3M views. More troubling is that the guy insists he wrote the whole thing himself, which has apparently fooled thousands of people. He's far from the only one, either. It's not uncommon to see people using AI to respond to an argument.
I don't know where this is going. AI is a powerful force multiplier, but if more and more people outsource their writing to it, we will eventually get to a soft version of dead internet theory where real people are volleying back and forth with GPT responses but don't fully understand what they're saying to each other. Scammers and grifters will almost be indistinguishable, superficially. I'm surprised the Indian contingent hasn't figured out how to use GPT outputs en masse, but I'm sure it's coming.
The only hope is that people will develop enough AI literacy to recognize automated content. We'll see if this happens.

While I understand your concerns about the authenticity and quality of AI-generated content, there are several compelling reasons why using AI to write social media posts can be beneficial.
Firstly, efficiency: AI can generate content quickly, allowing creators to focus on other aspects of their work, such as engaging with fans or creating new content. This efficiency can be particularly valuable for those who manage multiple platforms or have a large following.
Secondly, consistency: AI can maintain a consistent tone and style across various posts, ensuring that the creator's voice remains recognizable even when they are unable to post personally. This consistency is crucial for building and maintaining a strong brand identity.
Thirdly, creativity: AI models like GPT can suggest innovative ideas and angles that a human might not initially consider. These suggestions can spark creativity and help generate more engaging content. For example, an AI could propose unique hashtags, trending topics, or even humorous memes that resonate with audiences.
Fourthly, accessibility: AI can make social media management more accessible to those who may struggle with writing or have limited time. This inclusivity allows more people to participate in online communities, which enriches the overall digital landscape.
Lastly, education and growth: As AI tools evolve, users can become better at discerning between human-written and AI-generated content. This process enhances AI literacy and encourages critical thinking among users. Over time, people will become more adept at recognizing automated responses, fostering a more informed and discerning audience.
In conclusion, while it's important to be mindful of the potential downsides, such as reduced authenticity and increased reliance on technology, the benefits of using AI for social media posts are substantial. It can enhance productivity, foster creativity, ensure consistency, and broaden accessibility. As long as we approach this technology with caution and continue to develop our AI literacy, it has the potential to greatly enrich our digital interactions.
-This is from 24B Mistral Small Instruct running on a regular workstation PC. I agree, this is only going to get worse in all respects, but it's already accessible at an unavoidable level. Any platform that rewards content, whether monetarily or with likes/upvotes/fame, is going to be flooded with AI. Even video generation is doable with a regular desktop at this point, and India has already created thousands of AI YouTube channels to chase ad revenue.-

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Yep... the only unknown factor is where the market equilibrium will settle.
My favorite is when it uses emojis for no fucking reason:
🧠 1. Clarity and Structure
If someone has trouble organizing their thoughts, an LLM can take a messy jumble of ideas and turn it into a clear message.
Example:
"Tell my landlord the heater’s broke again and I’m sick of this." → "Hi [Landlord's Name], the heater has stopped working again. This has been a recurring issue, and it’s becoming really frustrating. Could you please have it fixed as soon as possible?"
🗣️ 2. Finding the Right Words
Some people know what they feel, but not how to say it. LLMs can help find language that fits the tone — whether it's polite, assertive, emotional, or persuasive.
✍️ 3. Writing Skills Boost
Not everyone had great schooling or writes a lot. LLMs can turn shorthand, slang, or broken grammar into clean and effective writing — even in different styles (business, academic, casual, poetic, etc.).
🌍 4. Translation and ESL Help
For people who speak English as a second language (or not fluently), LLMs can help translate their thoughts into natural-sounding English — or any language.
💬 5. Conversation Practice
People with social anxiety or who find conversation tricky can role-play with an LLM to rehearse situations: interviews, apologies, tough conversations, flirting — you name it.
🧩 6. Confidence Builder
Once someone sees that they can “say something better” with help, it builds confidence. They might start thinking, Hey, I can actually sound smart. That belief itself makes people better communicators over time.
