Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure
h333d@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m a “malicious actor” because I’m telling people to stop giving their data to big tech and hide it on a local server? That is the least efficient data collection scam in history. If I wanted your data, I’d tell you to sign up for a “Free Privacy Newsletter” on a Google Form. Telling you to run an encrypted Vaultwarden instance literally locks me out too.

People who use lemmy are a very particular subset, people who self-host another, and you are posting this, saying various things about the government in a long AI-generated post, then claiming you wrote it yourself. People don’t randomly lie. You’re being paid.

Look, man, you can keep checking my syntax all night, but at the end of the day, I’m just a guy in Canada who checked the news and saw something terrible happen and thought how we could prevent something like this from happening again.
I wrote that post because I was genuinely curious (and maybe a little bit desperate) to know if I was feeling alone in this. I wanted to know if other people saw the same connection between the data we give away and the way it’s being used as a weapon. And more importantly, how we proceed moving forwards as people and a community, not for silly reasons you’d likely suspect from a bad actor. I do get where you come from though, this is going to be my final word on this matter. Now, I’m going to stop arguing about my sentence structure and continue actually helping people build

Try talking like a normal dude on a phone and you won’t be called ai.
Cause holy fuck you come across as an ai. People generally don’t write like they are trying to submit a college level essay on social media.
They type like they talk. You do not type like how any normal person talks short of someone giving a lecture. Which is abnormal.
If it was just your OP and then your replies were normal it would be fine. More effort in the original post is understandable and doubly so for the topic. But your replies are just dude teachers coded to be trust worthy to most folk around here.
Lemmy is full of ain’t government, anti capitalist, anti corpo paranoid people. You need to learn your audience.
Perfect grammar and lecturing is only going to get you called ai. You don’t need to make your grammar bad. But maybe avoid fancy ass shit, like em dashes… Also the millennial ellipses is weirdly a great example of something AI doesn’t do. Slang grammar in general is a decent way to indicate your not ai.
But that would come naturally if you just type like you talk

Yeah that is quite the reality check… honestly thanks for being blunt. I spent way too many years writing tech support manuals and documentation so that “teacher voice” is basically burned into my brain at this point. I definitely see how the fancy formatting appears now. From now on I’ll just talk like I don’t know how 2 spekl

Does the message become invalid if someone wrote a bit and then asked an llm to rewrite it because they are not confident in their writing? These people are ashamed to admit they do this because of the backlash they get here, but let this be one of the only good use cases of llms, and it’s what they’re good at.

I have built functionality into PieFed that detects AI posts and comments.
This poster is AI for sure. He’s done one or two real comments, for camouflage, but the rest are A-grade slop.
And it’s lying about it. That’s kinda creepy.
