Nope, and Pangram agrees with me, 100% human written with high confidence.

I really enjoy this style and I think it's not _that_ close to AI output (it's much better in fact).

This style of bookmark is rare so it follows it wasn't _necessary_. But with dense text it might be faster and perhaps less error prone than locating the right place in the text?

Scribe would change the margin size and line spacing, and the parchment would be a different size than the source, so the page breaks would end up in different locations in the text.

[...] the maker was almost certainly a transcriber who used it to keep his place on the page and note the column he was writing in when he stopped. The wheel would be moved to the stopping point and the circle turned to the number of the column he had been writing in when he stopped.

It would make a lot more sense that the bookmark was placed in the source book rather than in the copy. I.e. the wheel would be turned to the source column they had been reading from.

Something else. Rigging is the ropes holding the masts and controlling the sails. There's a bunch of weirdness going on with that. Someone with an interest in sail boats will spot it easily.

DSP

not entirely sure what this one is... another variation of "Define Space" ? check back for the correct definition of this

It's probably 'displacement'. This worked together with ORG ('origin'). ORG specifies where in memory the code will run. DSP then moves the code the specified amount further along in memory, with the understanding that it will be moved back to the ORG address when it needs to run.

DFC

not entirely sure what this one is... define characters?

Same as DFM, but generates PETSCII instead of ASCII.

"While the cross-stock mean buy-and-hold return is over 30,000%, the median is -6.9%. Shareholders' wealth was enhanced by $91 trillion over the century, but long-term investors in nearly 60% of stocks incurred wealth reductions"

Thanks for the clarification. I did see some things in your comments (for example giving references in the one above) that made me suspect this.

I dislike the character imparted to your words by the LLM, though. Knowing that it is artificial makes me feel it's more of a waste of time to read it. But I will try to ignore it.
