Im not sure if anyone else has noticed, but rhe clouds while traveling.  Man, just stare at at the clouds, and realize the torns sky is basically mother nature’s lava lamp. One minute you’re seeing a dragon cruising through the universe, the next it’s your old math teacher(Who I secretly had a crush on, she was like 60 but she always gave me candy and she smelled divine), riding a dolphin made of mashed potatoes. That’s the beauty of the clouds, dude they don’t judge, they just vibe. It’s like the universe handing out free imagination with every puff floating overhead. Sometimes I think the clouds are just the earth exhaling its dreams, and we’re lucky enough to catch the show if we slow down long enough to watch it.  I also saw a duck and a dinosaur which I felt was pretty amazing as well.

What have you guys seen from the clouds?

Did you know tho that on every July 19th if you do 5 UAE trips  back to back (im talking no dumping e or n)at minute mark 1:49:43 On your last trip.a golden cloud appears for 4 seconds if you click that your transported to  Chedburns Private Moonbase and he congratulates you by telling  you that "you won Torn."

Bro I cant with the EM dash like seriously this would have been a semi-decent idea if you had written it yourself and not with AI.

 

 

BjornOdinsson89 [3666214]

Oh for fucks sake, the em dash has been used Long before ai, writers naturally used the em dash to create tension, pause, and dramatic flair.

 

Knowing how to punctuate and format sentences clearly is a sign of someone with more than a 7th grade education, not fucking AI. 

CoolguyRuler [2183404]

Also... I have a bachelor's of English. I dont know how to properly use the em dash, hell, I dont even know how to access the button to put it into text.

 

Unless someone is using a bunch of fancy words with impeccable grammar and has a decent amount of tech skill, then the em dash is probably legitimate use by a human.

 

If it appears in a paragraph with artificial typos. Then yes, clear giveaway that is a AI generated text(probably passed through a humanizer to make it seem more human)

RikiTrikiTavi [3974756]

The clouds you see are all dark and grey.  You need to chill my guy. -- this is just a random post on a text base game. Stoop and go look at the clouds.  I suggest the trip to Africa. 

RikiTrikiTavi [3974756]

For someone that seems to pretend he has a bachelor's of english; he doesnt know that the em dash is widely accepted as  a way to replace quotation marks. He's just old fogey like myself but he's just paranoid of this new ai.

Cool story bruh (did I do that gen z thing right?), lets do an experiment, go to google and look up the opening to Chapter 1 of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (written in 1818, loooong before AI, or so we think?) And paste it into your fancy little AI detector tools, Bet you will get the same result i did. 

 

Thing is, ALL AI is trained on classic writing, human language, and loads and loads of data, those AI detectors worked when AI was still young, but unfortunately for the boomers and try hards, we are past the the uncanny valley when it comes to LLM's.

Okay, "sure"  Im an a.i. robot.  beep boop beep boop.   Go look at some clouds my guy, you take random writings too hard.  Learn to enjoy life --live in the moment.  you're anxietymaxxing friend.  Trust me, learn now.  Life never gets easier. (more interesting I would say).  

Penetration [2340613]

Likewise, someone in modern day seems ignorant to the fact ChatGPT is widely known for em dashes and as a result they are widely not accepted any longer. 

 

Every correct use of an em dash can be replaced with two properly written sentences. They are handy occassionally in reporting or scientific explanation. They are not a valid (socially accepted) product of todays gaming forums. At least not where users want to read actual human written stuff instead of AI.

 

 

TLDR; using em dash makes what you write instantly not credible due to the age of AI.

BjornOdinsson89 [3666214]

What are you going on about? I never claimed you were an AI Lol, my post also wasnt directed at you. My post was about AI claiming Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the Declaration of independence was written by AI. 

 

Unless you are Mary Shelley?!?!?! In which case will you sign my copy of Frankenstein? Please..

Rauhbautz [2108641]

Funny, while reading this post that song by Carly Simon started playing in my head over and over! "...clouds in my coffee..." Classic. 

 

But, tbh, I typically take care of other things while traveling, so didn't notice. 

BjornOdinsson89 [3666214]

Wanna know who else used them? Friedrich Nietzsche, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, the lost goes on. Grok and chatGPT use the word word, and but, and and, and the, and periods!  fuck! They also uses exclamation points ohhh no how will we ever tell the difference when the AI checkers literally no longer work??? 

 

God this whole deal about everyone flipping out about AI is oooooold (I did it once or twice too, im not blameless), but for the love of the God's, who the fuck cares if Bob from england, or fucking terminator wrote it? If its funny its funny, im so over everyones panties getting twisted over proper fucking punctuation because they heard Grok likes to use it alot.
