lsusr was this written by AI? BTW, I’ve read a lot of your posts—I think you have some really goodones! One think I value about your posts is your writing (thinking?) style. I’d describe it as terse and imperative but also Zen and Socratic.
Anyways: I’m pretty sure this post was written by an AI! ‘I know it when I see it’, I can recognize style. Basically every paragraph is very AI-y. Look at these passages: - “—not searching, not lingering—” - “Jokes either land or don’t, and nobody rescues them. When there’s a pause, it doesn’t itch. It just waits.” - “Only afterward do you notice that nothing needed fixing. No apologies. No recalibration. No lingering tension.” - “There’s no resistance, no awkwardness—just a quiet sense that something was already decided.”
Yup! This was an experiment. I wanted to find out if anyone would notice and call me out on it. Good job!
The high level structure was mine, but all the individual sentences were written by AI. That’s why there’s no jokes. In all of my experiments so far, ChatGPT has been completely unable to emulate my humor style. It can’t even do indirection.

I had not twigged that. I am no longer interested in any sequel.
