Subdermatoglyphi–

the resistance shoots me. I am revealed to be a Terminator despite misreading the question

You’re right. Looking back I confused a lot of ( with [!

Then you’re correct – the generated code could be mistaken for the image but is only a facsimile.

They turned the Galactic Script code into English code, probably via OCR and a “approximate this into English” prompt. Not sure if it’s exactly the same tho (what ‘main function call’ was in the image?)

Edit: It’s only a facsimile, see Hoimo’s reply

Thank you! (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) ✧

A lot of comments here are suspicious of you, so I’m going to try my hand at guessing whether this was AI.

Since GPTs are hilariously bad at detecting themselves, I’ll venture on the human spirit!

First, we establish truth 1: this is copy-pasted.

Although Moissanite isn’t mentioned twice, everything after “Synthetic Alexandrite” inclusively is mentioned twice. That means this was procedurally copy-pasted. Someone writing on their own would either CTRL+A then CTRL+C and make no mistakes, or not repeat themself at all.

Of course, we can also look at the half-formalized format that indicates something was copied from raw text and pasted into markdown, rather than formatted with markdown first.

copy-paster spotted

Second, we cast doubt that a human wrote the source.

• AI-isms vs. non AI-isms

  • Non-reused acronym definitions.

    Garnets like… yttrium iron garnet (YIG)

    This is probably taken straight from the Wikipedia’s site description for YIG. Usually humans don’t define an acronym only to never use it, unless they’re making a mistake, especially not for just making repeated structure. So either Wikipedia was in the training corpus or this was Googled.

  • 5/23 sentences start with “While” (weak ai indicator)

  • no three-em dashes or obvious tricolons are overused (non ai-indicator)

  • no filler bullshit introduction or conclusion (non ai-indicator)

  • obvious repeated structure that you can feel (strong ai indicator)

  • Suspiciously uncreative descriptions (ai indicator)

    “These stones are not just rare but impossible to find naturally, offering a unique and unconventional aesthetic perfect for someone looking to stand out.” (emphasis added)

  • Repetition of “unusual” and “rare” rather than more flavorful or useful adjectives (AI indicator)

    • We’re talking synthetic stuff. Would a human write about rarity?

  • Superficial, neutral-positive voice despite length and possible source. If this was pasted from a technical blog, I’d expect it to have more “I” and personal experiences, or more deep anecdotal flavor (AI indicator)

    • e.g. use of “fascinating” but doesn’t go deeper into any positivities

Third… let’s take a guess

So it was copy-pasted from somewhere, but I can’t imagine it being from a blog or website, and it isn’t directly from Wikipedia. It has some nonhuman mistakes, but is otherwise grammatical, neutral-positive, and repetitively structured. And it lacks that deeper flavor. So… it was an AI, but likely not openAI.

At least there aren’t any very “committal” facts, so the length but lack of depth suggests that everything’s maaaaaaybe true…

I rescind my mean comment.

Well, I don’t mean downgrade him totally! Give him super strength or something but take it to its conclusion.

Authors realized this problem with Flash, so they added a mildly magic mystery Speed Force thing that solves the too-many-Gs problem with “nah he just slows time down or something and the Speed Force is mysterious and different” iirc.

But without the handwaviness he’d need to watch acceleration and calorie counts and speed up his thoughts and not slip and fall into an inertial death. If that makes sense (-‿-")

All of this stuff makes me wonder how hard it would be to make a fully pedantic story.

I’ve seen books where the hero was on the verge of winning but gets randomly concussed by a piece of shrapnel. Disoriented, hospital.

Another where the hero had hearing loss issues from solo pistol badassing too much, sans ear protection. (Forgot the titles of these stories).

But what would it take to meet everything? Imagine Superman. Now he has to mind his acceleration to save people. He also has to mind distribution of force, since he can’t lift a plane without puncturing it. (Maybe he can make a little energy net under the plane somehow to distribute pressure?) And then he has to mind the Law of Conservation of Energy unless he splits apart matter somehow. And then this and that…

Will adherently realistic changes downrank most stories? I for one laugh my ass off when The Rock flexes his broken arm cast off in F&F.

lmao, what?

Whoa, I didn’t know about this! My trustworthy beloved orange apps were sold to ZipoApps, a company that flips apps into ad revenue.

But has anything changed for the worse yet? I don’t see any odd commits in the history (e.g. Draw). I’ll probably just lock the F-Droid version of the Simple gear I can’t switch.

linux 4.5-rc5 had efivarfs fixed to prevent “rm -rf /” bricking uefi motherboards – so maybe someone can try it out? :]
