It sounds like you got bitten by the dynamic I wrote about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48467726: that is, using an LLM to process text for a limited reason (such as to improve its English) and then finding that the LLM left lots of other fingerprints, causing readers to perceive the entire thing as genai. We're seeing a ton of this right now!

In case it's helpful, here's something I've been saying when replying to emails:

We understand that our non-native English speaking users are in a special position with all of this, and we sympathize - but we don't have an easy way to treat posts differently on that basis. What we're telling such users is to please write in your own voice and don't worry about any mistakes, because those are rapidly becoming signs of authenticity at this point!
