Oh shyte, I use (and have used) these for a long time. Guess everything is classes as AI nowadays just yield and use it (everyone thinks you do anyway)
This comment certainly does not scan as AI! Look, this isn't perfect, but it's the best we've got, and so long as AI writing is meaningfully worse than human writing, people are going to try to tell the difference.
Nah, human writing will bleed through as imperfect (in a quaint way).
Not everything of course, not because of a few phrases, not your comment. But the recent omnipresence of these is just hard to ignore.
I suspect the entire concept was vibe coded. There's a reason fraud detection uses machine learning.
