I dont buy it can tell if something sounds ai. Multiple times i have given it direct ai slop writing and it could not tell it was ai written. As a matter of fact, it would insist it wasnt.

This flow sounds like what an intern did in pr reviews and it made me want to throw something out a window. Please just use your own words. They are good words and much better words than you may think.

Original article

I can’t share links from Gemini or Grok. But they both immediately flagged the first one as AI generated and the second most likely human.

I didn’t actually do anything here except told ChatGPT to rewrite it in the form of an article I found from an old PDF “97 Things a software engineer should know” from 2010, then ask Grok did it sound AI generated (it did), ask Grok to rewrite it to remove tell tale signs (it still kept the em dashes) and then I copied it ba k to ChatGPT.

With some human editing to make it sound less douchery or better prompting, do you think you could tell?

Could I tell if the last one is AI? Absolutely. Throwing a few "damns" in there didn't convince me. And all the reworking you've done, while it makes it a little more passable, has made it arguably worse in quality. The point of the final article is so muddy. It has no central point and sprawls on and on about random nonsense.

I agree and I said as much

With some human editing to make it sound less douchery or better prompting, do you think you could tell?

In other words - I did no human editing or even played with the prompt.

For instance, I would have definitely reworded this “a solid meeting isn’t just about not screwing up the logistics. It’s a snapshot of how your team actually operate”

The “it isn’t just $x. It is $y” is something that Ai loves to do.

The larger point is AI is really good at detecting its own slop. Gemini is really good at detecting first pass AI Slop from another LLM and out of curiosity I put a few other articles I knew was written before 2022 to see if it gave false positives.

But it isnt. Why use more word when few do trick? Ai is god awful at sounding authentic and surprise surprise, authenticity is easy to sus out.

AI has a voice in writing which youd need to almost completely rewrite every word to remove at which point, why use ai?
