LLM-generated stories are a popular use case, but they show very low variability. We sample 20,000 total stories from four current models using five prompts. We find that 11 words occur in 88.3% of generated stories, with little difference between models. These words include names (Elias, Mara, Elara), settings (lighthouses), and professions (clockmaker, librarian). These tokens do not often occur in published literature nor pre-training data, but they are found in preference data that is likely to have been used by all current models. Surprisingly, these "lighthouse" stories are infrequent when compared with the average post-training story, much of which contains references to copyrighted characters or adult content. This result demonstrates the potentially disproportionate impact of small datasets combined with powerful alignment algorithms.

Our tales of AI developing the will to survive, commandeer resources, and manipulate people say more about us than they do about language models.

This is a list of writing and formatting conventions typical of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, with real examples taken from Wikipedia articles and drafts. Its purpose is to act as a field guide in helping detect undisclosed AI-generated content. This list is descriptive, not prescriptive; it consists of observations, not rules. Advice about formatting or language to avoid in Wikipedia articles can be found in the policies and guidelines and the Manual of Style, but does not belong on this page. In particular, this list is not a blanket ban on certain words, phrases, or punctuation; no one is taking your em-dashes away. Nor is it a claim that only LLMs use them. Not all text featuring the following indicators is AI-generated, as the large language models that power AI chatbots are trained on human writing, including the writing of Wikipedia editors. This is simply a catalog of very common patterns observed over many thousands of instances of AI-generated text, especially on Wikipedia. The patterns here are also only potential signs of a problem, not the problem itself. While many of these issues are immediately...

I have been thinking about something Jean Baudrillard said a lot recently. It comes to mind because of the current moment and what is happening around generative AI. He said, "Art does not die because there is no more art. It dies because there is too much."

The best way to understand generative AI art and aesthetics is to consider how previous "synthetics" lost value in the long-run For the first half of the 20th century, white-collar workers wore business shirts made from cotton or linen that wrinkled in the wash.

Automation is often presented as an inexorably advancing force, whether it’s ushering in a threat to jobs or a promise of increased leisure or larger profits. We’re made to imagine the robots rising, increasingly mechanized systems of production, more streamlined modes of everyday living. But the truth is that…

Users have noticed that the remoteli.io twitter chatbot [https://twitter.com/remoteli_io/with_replies], usually faithful to its cheerful messaging promoting remote work, can be subverted with a carefully worded user prompt.

The Google Gemini fiasco shows that the biggest challenge for Google in AI is not business model but rather company culture; change is needed from the top down.
