For me it was the "it's not x"/"it's y" stuff and some other structures Claude is very fond of using all the time. Perhaps humans are starting to write like LLMs!
Perhaps, just perhaps, LLMs are just statistical models that literally can't create novel things, therefore any structure LLMs write was learnt from human writing?
What kind of human writing has "it's not X—it's Y" in every single paragraph?
The answer is none. LLMs haven't accurately modeled human writing for years, current models have been smacked on the head with the coding RLHF bat so much, they all write distinctly inhuman text.
The thing is, people are screaming “AI” when they see a single “it's not X—it's Y" pattern in a post, despite this being a fairly common construct.
People are nitpicking every tiny thing in their search for proof of AI. It’s not useful and ends up dominating the conversation. AI panic is degrading the value of forums at least as much as actual AI at this point.
The user thing is what I currently do too. I've thought about containers but then it's confusing for everyone when I ask it to create and use containers itself.
So don't let them interact with anything external. You can push and pull to their git project folders over the local filesystem or network, they don't even need access to a remote.
Obviously if you're running Claude Code you need a token for that and an internet connection, that's kind of a given. What I'm talking about is permission (OS level, not a leaky sandbox) to access the user's files, environment variables, project credentials for git remotes, signing keys, etc etc.
I'll be sticking with Lightroom 6 (non-subscription) and the old cameras it supports, until the sad but inevitable day I can no longer run it.
I don't find editing takes much time, because I now have so many custom presets I can apply on import or in bulk that do 90% of the work.
What does take ages is picking out the best shots, but really the only way to make that quicker is to take fewer photos. Which I suppose shooting film actually does force you to do. (But so would a 2GB SD card.)
I don't understand how they found nothing in the raid, wouldn't they normally bring drugs with them to plant? If they forgot those that's a whole new level of police incompetence.
Anecdotally I know approximately zero 'normal' (non-tech) people who are intentionally using generative AI, several who have been badly misled by Google's AI summaries, and quite a few who are vehemently anti-AI (usually artists and writers).
(Except when mandated by their employers, which nobody is happy about or finds particularly useful.)
Every single person I know outside of my profession is using it, including all relatives of all ages. Even if it's at the top of the google search results :)
