I use either KATE (used to be Notepad++ on Windows) or LO Writer to count characters (Mac/Win/Linux) and formerly other programs CP/M, DOS, Windows etc.

Why go online?

@0xabad1dea if you're on MacOS you can use WordService by DEVON for local-only character/word/line counting: https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230905-use-wordservice

It's frustrating that if you follow the rules of grammar and punctuation, you're accused of being AI.

Maybe to prove we're human, we should insert an image of a stop signal or fire hydrant. That seems to be good enough when logging into sites.

That icon in the "Yes, Remove AI" button sure looks like a middle finger gesture to me. Made me laugh.

@0xabad1dea i wish mastodon was counting characters for us. I mean character limit is cool and all, but it could also show the char count

@0xabad1dea @cford as someone said, “the key is sincerity: once you can fake that, you’ve got it made”

@0xabad1dea An #AI asked you if it could rewrite your text so that it isn't #AI written anymore?

@[email protected] "Give me money for my AI removal AI" is right up there on the offensively brazen stakes I have to admit.

@0xabad1dea assuming that everyone who needs an online character counter uses it for LLM output probably saves a lot of energy and it’s correct in most cases
