    That is an excellent point! Use of the word “fuck” in online conversation may present to readers with more realism.

    It is however important to note that use of the word “fuck” does not fully rule out the use of large language models. While most commercial offerings may be trained to avoid profanity, certain models might not be trained the same way.

    Additionally, use of the word “fuck” may be inappropriate in certain human conversations such as:

    • formal conversations
    • conversations with parents
    • conversations with children

    So, while the presence of the word “fuck” may decrease the likelihood of the text being generated by large language models, it is important to keep in mind its limitations, and opt for more robust methods like cryptographic signatures or verbal conversations.

    Is there anything else I can help you with?

      The method I (just now) thought up using to signal humanity was responding to accusations of being an LLM with a “fuck you”. The combination of vulgar language and defiance of the sycophantic tendencies of LLMs feels to me like a pretty effective proof of humanity, at least for now.
