I submitted this ( I am not the author ) because I thought it was interesting take, I honestly didn't think it was AI, maybe AI polished, but not AI. Was surprised when it was flagged and I saw over on HN Removals . Ran through Claude and got this back:

"Overall, my honest read: this feels like a human-written opinion piece (possibly AI-assisted for polish/editing, which is extremely common now), not a fully AI-generated article. The specific personal history ("I've been saying this in group chats for months"), the running joke about being right before everyone else, and the reader engagement in the comments (with the author replying) all point to a real person with a strong personality behind it — though I can't rule out that Claude or another model helped tighten the prose."

It is interesting that everyone was so very certain it was AI written. Just read your comment about it being Claude based, now I am trying to figure out if Claude is trying to recuse itself in some way by giving me those results.

Still feel like the point it interesting and going to keep diving into it and I am surprised it was flagged. May have to up my reading on Removals more and more.

I don’t think that a generative model is a good judge to assess if a text was written by itself. This article has a super stong “written by AI” smell to it. Once you notice all the em dashes and “it isn’t X, it’s Y”patterns you can’t unsee it. That plus the sloppy images, make it really hard for me to finish reading.
