alt Hacker NewsI've never seen the word "delve" show up with such frequency in the pre-AI era, but now it's an overwhelmingly large signal of LLM-generated text, so I'm not sure where that came from. Ditto for vomiting emojis everywhere.

The rise in prevalence is recent, but older than transformer models by a comfortable margin.

I have heard that the human trainers for early LLM models were overwhelmingly from West Africa, so some of the word choices reflect that, including a preference for the word delve. This now means that humans from that part of the world are now frequently unfairly suspected of being AI.
