A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The article is great. The top comment under the article caught my eye:

but at least I'm real…last I checked.
That's very suspicious since that is exactly what I would expect a bot to write.
Point of order: in order for a bot to write that text, it would need to have been already written by someone else. So if a bot didn't write it before, it might the next time.
That's not entirely accurate. AI can put together novel sentences that have never been written before. Everything is written one token at a time so being written before makes it more likely (as you would expect) but it absolutely does not preclude novel combinations.
