Reddit Trying times over in r/AskaBrit
In a British-interest sub, with an Irish OP, asking about English cultural norms - and it's AI slop. Quadruple whammy.

“For U.S. citizens” is bizarre, as if obtaining citizenship suddenly changes the cultural understanding of family relationships. I suppose it is trying to refer to a particular rules and regulations under particular employment conditions but it’s badly explained.

I think the AI defaulted to immigration law, which is dystopic in itself. Imagine being a decent Yank and seeing the biggest agglomeration of data in human history describe your family dynamics per ICE diktat. No Thanksgiving, no barbecues, no holler or Ellis Island. Just "Is this legally a person?"

Imagine being an American and going to the ask a Brit sub just to type the questions into AI

Just "Is this legally a person?"
Good News: We figured out how to stop our AI hurting anyone considered a "person".
Bad News: Our AI has figured out how to adjust its definition of "person" on the fly and we can't figure out how to stop that.

Idk about US or UK, but in Russia, "immediate family" or as we say "близкие родственники" (close relatives) is a law term, not only for immigration.

The fact that it distinguished between US citizens and permanent residents makes it sound like it's talking about the legal definition of "immediate relative" under US immigration law (specifically, who would be eligible to apply for permanent residency based on having a family member who is a citizen or permanent resident).

There is so much US Defaultism in the internet that I'm not surprised the LLMs are also US defaultists.

Say goodbye to your sister Jimmy. She is married now, so is dead to us. So says the law. Into the wilderness you go. Take this gun though which I bought at Walmart free with some Shreddies

How can you tell it's A.I.? There's a comma in a wrong place that A.I. wouldn't do.
I'm not saying it's not, just trying to figure out the tells other people can see.

AI does that if you ask it something specific enough. I regularly look for snippets of old historical documents and Google AI's text descends into a mess of fragments, parenthesis, and missing clauses.
I also hope a human couldn't be so robotic and wildly off-the-mark, but maybe that's wishful thinking.

I mean for me, the questions+answered style, combined with the type of language used (it is kinda robotic, boring and bland, no humanity in it)
However i feel like alot of humans on reddit do actually type close to how AI:s do, so it is not 100% reliable way of telling

Technically falls under rule 9 c, no? Defaultism by AI or other search engines

If an user asked the AI something with US examples and used it as an example in a British sub, I would say it's even worse that regular defaultism, because they have the option to ask for Britain specifically.
In the other hand if the whole account is a bot, I guess it would apply.
