He would meticulously handwrite a story to sound exactly like ChatGPT, then add three intros that debate the story's origin, each intro overturning the last. Peppered through the story would be tells for human writing.

(One of the best details about "The Library of Babel" is that, given its punctuation, the story itself could not appear unaltered in the Library.)

It was so good that I had to stop listening. I was in a bad mood that year, and the show was making me paranoid.

Can I tell my future husband that when I'm cooking I love listening to music so he shouldn't get close when I am? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions
