Very fair pushback -- I did get carried away and will update the article to be more precise. Thanks for raising it!

> For less insane, non-bash shells there is always nc which is usually probably the wiser choice.

For completeness, `nc` or any netcat equvialent I could think of was not available in the image I was trying this with. It would certainly be a better option though.

This is the most Claude pilled comment I've seen here.

[thih9]

This worries me. Some AI writing styles became mainstream; at first it was the em-dashes, now it’s “A, not B” patterns and excessive acknowledging. There will be more.

Was grandparent comment written by an LLM?

Or is this a human who copies a style they saw in a blog post, unaware that they’re copying an AI?

Or is this a human who spent too much time talking to an AI and now they just talk like this?

Or is this an organic human response and we’re all paranoid by now?

I don’t know which would be worse.

When learning a language, I've heard it's good to find a reference speaker, such as a prolific actor, and mimic them in order to absorb several aspects of what makes them sound authentic as a speaker, such as vocabulary, intonation, diction, pacing.

For many in the next generation of language learners, this reference will be Claude.

I think that the fact that AI has a very recognizable singular style is a problem. And this problem will be solved, sooner or later. It probably isn't a very important problem, because I feel that it should be relatively easy to solve (but maybe I'm wrong?).

But certainly with smarter AI I do believe it'll become more fluent with choosing more diverse idioms and phrasing, rather than repeating one thing over and over, to a point of being a comically similar. So people who learn on AI-generated text, will not learn from just one recurring style.

> It probably isn't a very important problem

The amount of languages are decreasing on the earth, I would also say that dialects and accents are decreasing as well. I think this is a problem.

[disqard]

Insightful, and scary! Imitating an imitation machine... even if no one is trying to intentionally do so, McLuhan's "we become what we behold" is inescapable.

[8bitsout]

I'm going to go insane from all of this

[eddd-ddde]

So? That's literally how language works. The importance is not in the writing style, but in the content of the words.

[thfuran]

Those are not separate things.

[mrshu]

It's pretty rough to learn I sound like Claude. Will need to do something about it then.

(For what it's worth I did write the message above manually but I understand why no one would believe that now. At least I did not call netcat "load-bearing" [https://mareksuppa.com/til/load-bearing/] or something...)

[sisve]

I did not think you sounded like claude. Then I looked again after the comment was made and then I saw some of the vibes. Like acknowledging a mistake you have done.

Before that would just made you top 5% (or maybe top 1%) of the nicest people to talk too.. know ppl think you are Claude.

We are all going crazy s a sibling comment said.

[fc417fc802]

It's wasn't "acknowledging the mistake" it was the phrasing and general structure while doing so.

[ffsm8]

I know that feeling

I notice myself getting afflicted with llm-isms after a full workday. And I didn't always notice, sometimes I only realize the day after...

Like it slowly siphoned out my soul, which then reconnected with me over night

[BearOso]

Avoid the backtick quotes, too. Claude also mistakenly uses them outside of markdown.

[ed_elliott_asc]

Ok Claude :)

[tbossanova]

I’m torn. It’s a great thing to share knowledge and take feedback graciously. Maybe this kind of comment will encourage more of that. But you also need people to tell you what is up without unnecessary filters. It’s a challenge

[nialv7]

what would be a non-pilled way of saying the same thing?

[xeyownt]

Yeah. The comments saying it's AI-pilled comments are more annoying and less informative than the comments themselves.

[hnlmorg]

Agreed. I really wish Dang would explicitly add that to the rules.

[WD-42]

Good point however netcat wasn’t available either.

[scubbo]

FWIW, I didn't read this as AI-like. Even on a re-read, it's only the quasi-em-dash, and _maybe_ the polite acknowledgement of "Very fair pushback" (just good etiquette, IMO!) that would ring any alarm bells. You're fine.

[farmerbb]

Not to mention, the typo in the word "equivalent".
