I've been commenting on the open, public internet in some form or fashion since the 1900s. These models have been trained to sound like me, not the other way around. Fortunately, the bullies at the back of the class who don't pay attention have mostly caught on to this fact, after having it repeated to them hundreds of times. The other day I was thinking about it, and realized it's been a bit since anybody's accused me of using AI to write a comment. I think it's because I stopped proofreading what I write. Leave in those mistakes and the assholes at the back of the room who don't pay attention are too naive to think that machines can't make mistakes, I guess.
What was the Internet like in 1900? IP over Avian Carriers?
No we didn't have birds back then, they hadn't evolved yet.
They still haven't because birds aren't real.
Is this it? My first Lemmy inside joke? I feel honored
If you meant "IP over Avian Carriers", that is a joke everywhere with nerds. It was an inside joke within the IETF. Sorry to break that to you.
