Fascinating data presented in a clearly AI written or at least heavily edited format that makes it really hard to read without massive skepticism.

Probably AI translated. troet.social is a german instance, there's a link to the original text at the top.

Edit: The German text also has some AI-like features.

+1, I have actual trouble reading stuff like this, even though the content is interesting. My eyes just glaze over. I would rather read someones unfiltered low effort garbled mess of a post than a polished article sounding like ai

Please provide some evidence that this is AI written.

The phrasing and pacing sound repeatedly “but wait there’s more” style that AI seems to favor. Always trying to re-emphasize a point already made to make the reader interpret it a specific way.

Not to mention the em-dashes.

Sometimes good writing sounds like that too, but good writers also know to not use and repeat that same style over every paragraph.

Not posts. Relationships.

One paragraph in and the DiGiorno pattern (it's not x, it's y) is an immediate red flag.

I'm not saying humans don't do this, but it's overwhelmingly an AI thing now.

Notably, AI does it all the time when there isn't any good reason to highlight a contrast, like here.

Dude, AI detectors do not work and those idiots running them are increasing the harm done by AI, because now people and students have to defend themselves against AI-usage allegations. Your tool even says "confidence limited" and "We believe that this text is 100% AI", which is really idiotic.

You asked for evidence.

List out the evidence you accept.

JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org · 1 pts · 15h (1 reply)

Let's ask the author.

Hey @martinmuc@muenchen.social can you help us here?

XLE@piefed.social · 1 pts · 14h

You never had a standard for accepting evidence? Why did you even ask then?

Aside: that is a very nice font.
