❗️The rise of AI writing is leaving a stylistic footprint on the web. Pewresearch: "And as more AI-generated content appears online, these and other AI “tells” have become more common across webpages. Comparing the internet of today to a snapshot from 2023: • Em dashes appear about twice as frequently. • Oxford commas see a 63% increase. • Certain words that AI models like to use (such as “delve,” “interplay” or “testament”) have more than doubled in usage. • Using “negative parallelism” to structure a comparison (“it’s not just X, it’s Y”) has nearly tripled, although this is still fairly rare overall." @aipost 🏴
