The funny thing is I’ve never seen an author of a post chime in and say “hey! I wrote this entirely myself” on an AI accusation. I either see sheepish admission with a “sorry, I’ll do better next time” or no response at all.

Not saying the commenters never get it wrong, but I’ve seen them get it provably right a bunch of times.

I've seen this happen many times here on HN where the one accused comes back and says that they did in fact write it themselves.

Given how easily people throw around such accusations based solely on things like "it has an em dash", I think it's entirely reasonable to ignore them at this point.
