the concluding sentence rings very strongly of the it’s not X it’s Y concluding pattern plus the usage of colons everywhere. idk everything except for the first sentence just sounds very much like GPT patterns of speech

if you look at their comment history, you’ll notice how many of their comments have the It’s not X but Y concluding sentence pattern that is a GPT dead-ringer. Seeing people try to pass off comments like this is not just frustrating—it's insulting.



I don't know. To me, I would expect GPT to have a comma after "apps" in the last paragraph. To me, it reads like a human writing somewhat badly.

But, even if it was GPT: If a non-native-English-speaker wants to post here, and wants to use GPT to smooth out their bad English, is that terrible? In this case I would say no - they actually had something to say, on topic, that sounded like a reasonable perspective, perhaps even one with some inside knowledge.


think they’re just deleting the em dashes. read their comment history


The first sentences are this way as well:

- positive affirmation - thing is not just one thing - thing is something else

Things don’t feel like how anybody would speak.

Looking at the account I see all comments appear to be AI generated but it makes me wonder if it’s actually just AI translating from another language or something. Which is kind of a fair enough reason to use AI, in low-stakes comment setting like this.
