LLMs consistently prefer LLM text. This maybe implies future AIs discriminating against humans as a class.

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and itβs both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

With first approach of light, we must be risen,

Yon flowery arbours, yonder alleys green
