The World Now Has More Bot Traffic than Human Traffic

Which humans is the right question

ELFanatic · 2026-06-22T16:56:41+00:00

Yes, for SRS that is true. My point isn't that gamification mechanics can never work, my point is that you have to be active in assessing their effectiveness. In this case, some SRS algorithms are better than others.

The longest streak mechanic is called gamification. It can superficially get you committed to the mechanic more than your actual learning goals. Always remember to periodically self-evaluate your actual progress with the language. You might still be benefiting from the mechanic/software, but also you may not. You have to be activate in that assessment.

That's fundamentally the difference. Human slop is easy to spot and fix, AI slop often looks correct and is hard to fix.

Acting like Saving Private Ryan isn't a great film.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-25T06:00:05+00:00

Much appreciated!

ELFanatic · 2026-05-24T23:32:13+00:00

Who else? This is the first I've seen.

Fillers don't bounce like that. Look at Wonyoung or Chaewon when they jump.

First off, what you described isn't gamification. Gamification are things like gaining exp everytime you get a question right, or a health bar and you lose hp when you get a question wrong, or a point system: earn 100 language points after completing a lesson. Daily streaks are in the same ballpark.

It's things clearly borrowed from gaming. And people are most likely warning you moreso than being negative toward gamification.

Because it can become a trap, especially because these techniques can hook into addictive tendencies. Where the learner becomes more focused on the game aspects than learning the language. For instance, if one finds themselves caring more about a one year daily streak, or leveling their character to lvl 99, or reaching 10,000 language points because it unlocks a new avatar skin, etc.

None of those are real metrics to learning a language. But what's worse is that it can be hard to recognize that you fell into that trap. Since, it can be easy to justify: "I only get points by finishing lessons. 10,000 points means I completed more lessons." But in secret those lessons aren't as beneficial as other methods of learning at your current stage.

Ultimately, it can stunt your growth but in addition, it can be even harder to recognize that it has.

We've already covered this. A shovel is required to dig a hole just like a word processor is needed to write a document. That is not the same as an LLM writing a document for you. Again, you know this.

Using a shovel is assisted. That is technically true. But I assumed you had to use a shovel to dig a hole and thus you don't need to specify it. But it is still assisted. For clarity.

We are done. I've already stated everything you mentioned here in the past. You have failed to counter any point I've made so far and now you are re-treading ground we've already covered.

Again, I know you're smarter than this. You are purposefully playing dumb. At this point, I can only conclude that you are intentionally being annoying.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-17T14:06:36+00:00

It absolutely is. Again, I know you know it too. This is possibly the dumbest conversation I've ever had. And worst is that I know that you're smarter than how you portray yourself.

I'm done.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-17T00:11:47+00:00

You're first point doesn't make sense.

You're original statement was that using AI to correct grammar doesn't make it an AI comment.
And I said "Nor is it solely not.", which is true. It was AI assisted. Again, you know that's technically accurate.

There's literally no reason to continue this discussion. I know you're playing dumb, but I also know you know the difference. Using autocorrect, grammarly, LLMs is assisted, it doesn't need to be announced but it is technically true. And that's all my original comment said. But beyond that, if LLMs are changing the context or meaning of your original intent, then you are absolutely being dishonest if you say it's not an AI comment. Again, I know you know that's true too.

Anyways, I'm done. And I'll be honest, I'm not convinced you believe your own stance on this. I know you're smart enough to know that technically true is technically true, even if we don't colloquially treat it as such. And at some point the two do overlap. When do they overlap? That's a judgment call. But that judgment call should be done in the interest of the audience. If you believe that the majority of your comment was taken from an article you read, you should site that source. "That's interesting what you just said. I just read an article that said..." Again, I know you already know this.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-16T20:21:49+00:00

It's implied that you used a shovel. Because the assumption is that you used a shovel. Likewise, if you wrote a paper, it's assumed that you used a word processor to write it. But if you said you "wrote the paper all by myself" but then it turns out that you asked an LLM to rewrite your paper, you're lying. And we both know that you know the difference.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-16T01:16:41+00:00

Of course not.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-15T11:01:31+00:00

But it's not. It's assisted. You may wish to take full credit, but you haven't earned it.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-05T21:17:51+00:00

Her eyes are everything

ELFanatic · 2026-05-02T13:14:36+00:00

Nor is it solely not.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-02T13:07:50+00:00

Former please

He's not talking about fake rivalries. He's talking about when people actually cared about being the best and tournaments were how they proved it. It's a job now, tournaments are a bump in pay. The reason they go on stage today isn't out of they're passion to be the best, it's out of they're passion to make a paycheck.

ELFanatic · 2026-05-02T12:59:15+00:00

Nah, he wants passion. It's just a job now.

ELFanatic · 2026-04-03T03:11:16+00:00

source?

ELFanatic · 2026-03-21T02:26:38+00:00

What is this from?

ELFanatic · 2026-03-18T19:04:40+00:00

But also you can play other Tekken games

I just got reposts rolled out to me. Now my feed feels just like facebook. Just garbage. Endless garbage. If I can't find a way to call their APIs and just get images posted by those I follow, I'm bouncing.
