Besides a couple of pretty obvious phrases, my standard indicator for AI writing is now length vs. number of links/sources.
LLMs make it so easy to ramble on and on, without having to bother about referencing any of the claims made. Texts that read like cardboard tastes.
New papers from me and @carefultrouble.bsky.social today on the safe adoption of AI - exploring what "safe adoption" means and whether its possible. We analysed more than 300 sources on AI safety in critical systems, outcomes for workers, and environmental impacts and found 5 common barriers

![Wikipedia entry for dinkus
In typography, a dinkus is a typographic device or convention that typically consists of three spaced asterisks or bullet symbols in a horizontal row, e.g. β β β β β or β β’ β’ β’ β. The device has a variety of uses, and it usually denotes an intentional omission or a logical "break" of varying degree in a written work. This latter use is similar to a subsection, and it indicates that the subsequent text should be re-contextualized. Such a dinkus typically appears centrally aligned on a line of its own with vertical spacing before and after the device. The dinkus has been in use in various forms since c.β1850.[1][2] Historically, the dinkus was often represented as an asterism, β, though this has fallen out of favor and is now nearly obsolete.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2zcfjzyocp6kapg6jc4eacok/bafkreiat5pvuu2mdh5bauxt7uxlo4rdf6bue3exmrmskgi5aycbemv5dyq@jpeg)

Billboard in a train station showing a pasta meal with the headline βLunch meal from 3,90 Euroβ, tagged βTruly gigaβ
What an odd recruitment campaign #Tesla is running in #Berlin to attract people to their GigaFactory!
It advertises benefits such as subsidised meals, free gym access, and shuttle services. But it at least downplays its connection with Tesla as a brand.
It uses illegible tags to say βTruly giga!β
