Author here. Fair enough — though for the record, if I were going to offend anyone with AI prose, I’d at least be consistent and say I used Gemini, not ChatGPT.

Jokes aside, I get the fatigue. The post wasn’t trying to win on voice, just to surface a pattern I’ve seen repeatedly in expansion decisions. Totally fine if the style alone is a dealbreaker.

Is there a (non-ironic) reason you used AI for this reply as well?
What specifically made it read as AI-written to you?

I’m not asking to dispute the reaction. I’m trying to understand which parts trigger that response now: repetition, structure, tone, or something else. There’s a lot of ambient fatigue around AI-generated text, and I think it’s bleeding into how we read almost everything.

If there’s a concrete signal you noticed, I’d honestly find that useful feedback.

Look I don't know what to tell you, but your repeated attempts to launder AI responses as not AI is incredibly off-putting. Anyways, you do you!
