my post are not AI generated...I apologize if my tone/vernacular comes off as generated, but that's just my own voice. down voting my comment based on unfounded assumptions is upsetting and discouraging to a new member such as myself.

You did write the above comment with an LLM, though. Why are you now denying it?

[dang]

We can't know for sure, so it's best not to attack like this. All we can really say is that the posts were getting classified that way.

There's also a large fuzzy area these days where people are using tools to edit, "polish", etc., but do not think of it as using an LLM to write. This is particularly the case with non-native English speakers.

A few recent cases where this sort of thing came up:

I am rather upset, the above user gave me negative karma for what? Defending myself against a false accusation?

This is ridiculous if I use proper grammar and punctuation I get flagged as AI.

`if i talk like this and dont use proper syntax and convention then i come off as an unintelligent and fake version of myself i am watering down to appease whatever algorithm flagged me as ai`

...now I am going to speak like myself again -- AI sounding and all (oh, double dash is not em dash I've been using them for 2 decades)

This is just to highlight how ridiculous this all is and honestly off-putting to a new member, forget non-native English speakers, all AI algorithms do is flag polished post. I don't want to water myself down and act dumb to avoid an algorithm and tip-toe around every post I make.

You're part of the problem with this unsubstantiated and unwarranted proclamation. I did not, and quite frankly your subjective opinion of whether I did or not does not change immutable reality; nor do I particularly care.

But just to be clear: you are absolutely, completely denying an LLM played any role in writing any of your comments on HN? You are certain? You're claiming you did not use an LLM in any way in the production of them? Not even to "edit"?

And for the record you were downvoted by other people long before I saw your reply.

[scritty-dev]

I don't use AI; only edits to my posts are made by auto-spell checker. I have exactly 1 downvote. Just yours....

Again with these demeaning comments "you are certain" -- who exactly are you -- the arbiter of what constitutes human vs AI generated content? Yes, I am certain.

EDIT: After testing my own content on GPTZero, I am curious, is that specific platform utilized to determine if my text is AI generated?

[dang]

I think you may find that this "auto spell checker" is making many more changes to your text than just spelling corrections. We've encountered this sort of thing in many cases already. This is the sort of thing I was describing in my comment upthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48779752.

I promise your post was already downvoted when I saw it. It is possible some people upvoted it afterwards, changing the net karma.

It is possible you were not intentionally choosing to use an LLM to write/modify your posts, but they largely read like LLM output. The tool you're using may use an LLM and may be rewriting significant portions of your text.
