11 days agoI think you’re missing the point here. Nobody is saying em dashes are making texts worse.
They’re just one of many indicators that can together allow for a good guess as to whether a text is AI generated or not.
Of course not all texts using them are AI generated, but if you also bold random words, use a lot of unnecessary and obscure emoji, put everything into bulletpoints and end your text with a useless summary, then people might get suspicious.
Couldn’t you simply rent a single server with like twice the bandwidth of your existing server? Unless you want to test automatic banning of IP addresses or something, having it spam your website with requests should have the exact same effect as using a botnet.
I don’t think you can rent botnets with some ready to use software to simulate web scraping or generate fake comments. You’d probably have to write that yourself anyway.
