Darn. I write exactly like this. You need to consider that people write in different ways, and the LLM is choosing from among the different styles.

I knew a lady who was named Isis at birth.

She stopped using that name.

There is little chance your writing is as consistently the exact same as the default LLM output, which this definitely is.

I'm skeptical. Give us an link to something you wrote prior to 2022.

I copied and pasted the comment verbatim into GPTZero.

GPTzero says there's a 0% chance of that being AI written.

So, no, people have not "always written like the way AI writes now".

I am writing this for you as well as those who are likely to read this later as well.

From the quoted snippet from the original article, purportedly AI-generated:

> Not a tutorial. Not an ORM. Actual SQL

From my comment:

> Not stock options. Do not gamble, your life is passing you by.

> Not titles, unless you have a clear plan to leverage your title into a better paying job.

> Not "job safety" - it is never safe. You being in an in-demand area is your job safety.

You don't see a large difference between the two styles?

You can check for yourself on any of the GPT checkers - they're completely different (I saw the difference too)

I heard it mostly writes in a style associated with low-class people from Kenya.
I read the same piece you did (if it was on HN, anyway), and it described highly-educated-in-Kenya people. Nothing low-class implied. I suspect (though I may be wrong about this) that lower-class Kenyans aren't likely to be literate in English.
