There's a specific writing style for globalized English that AI's use. And then this post also had none of the stylistic flourishes that a real author might add. And then simple things like constructing a table of 68 libraries or whatever organized by relatively subjective categories. That is something that nobody is going to do by hand.

There is a new term "load-bearing" which is used a lot in my usage of AI. Has anyone else encountered this term being used a lot in their conversations? Or is it a quirk of personalization?

[matwood]

I use load-bearing all the time in conversation. People need to be careful that just because they don’t use certain phrases, it doesn’t automatically mean AI.

[tstenner]

I use it all the time, but almost always sarcastically (as in "load-bearing tinyproxy instance").

[codefreakxff]

just what an AI bot would say! ;)

Both you and parent are making a lot of load-bearing assumptions.

As someone who likes to use a lot of em dashes in writing -- the 'heuristics' that AI 'hunters' like to use need a lot of further refinement before I would trust them with anything. And yet there are legions of anti-AI crusaders out there wielding them like weapons.

These folks are reinforcing a bias against all kinds of people, particularly those who are not native English speakers and were very likely taught 'globalized' English in their language training.

been getting a lot of "load-bearing" and "roll your own" lately.

us humans, even if kinda trash at many things, are pretty rad at pattern recognition.

There are also fashions. So people could be using "load-bearing" more because it's fashionable. Like "lets double-click on that", or "spinning rust", etc

I've heard it a lot from podcasts that are towards the abundance movement. I think its common within the rationalise movement.

Personally I really like it for "load-bearing assumptions". Because it let's you work with assumptions whilst pointing out the potential issues of that assumption.
