really compelling article about the number of "obvious ai tells" that are also… how a lot of people educated in english writing in colonized nations are taught to write. i.e. highly formal english rhetoric.
I'm calm. I'm calm. I promise.
I *feel* like it's broadly known, but maybe this is just because I'm a teacher, but "ai writing detectors" discriminate disproportionately against ESL writers (that is, they falsely identify legitimate human writing that is ESL as AI writing at a higher rate)
And that means YOU, random ai witchhunter on your internet crusader horse, are quite likely to also accidentally discriminate .
Don't accuse strangers of AI writing based on vibes.
Sit with and process the fact that a lot of times you can't tell and you don't get to know for sure. It's frustrating and scary. You'll be a better person if you learn to manage those emotions.
