This site has gone full Tower of Babel. I've seen at least a thousand "AI comment" callouts on this site in the last month and at this point I'm pretty sure 99% of them are wrong.
In fact, can someone link me to a disputed comment that the consensus ends up being it's actually AI? I don't think I've seen one.
You know how the chicken sexers do their thing, but can't explain it? Like they can't write a list of things they check for. And when they want to train new people they have them watch (apprentice style) the current ones, and eventually they also become good at doing it themselves?
It's basically that. I can't explain it (I tried listing the tells in a comment below), but it's not just a list of things you notice. You notice the whole message, the cadence, the phrases that "add nothing". You play with enough models, you see enough generations and you start to "see it".
If you'd like to check for yourself, check that user's comment history. It will become apparent after a few messages. They all have these tells. I don't know how else to explain it, but it's there.
Yeah on a second look GP might actually be on to something here. Jackfranklyn only makes top level comments, never dialogs with anyone, and I count at least 3 instances of "as someone who does this for a living" that are too seperated in scope to be plausibly realistic.
The tells are in the cadence. And the not x but y. And the last line that basically says nothing, while using big words. It's like "In conclusion", but worded differently. Enough tells for me to click on their history. They have the exact same cadence on every comment. It's a bit more sophisticated than "chatgpt write a reply", but it's still 100% aigen. Check it out, you'll see it after a few messages in their history.
No, it doesn't. The "I'm an expert at AI detection" crowd likes to cite things like "It's not X, it's Y" and other expression patterns without stopping to think that perhaps LLMs regurgitate those patterns because they are frequently used in written speech.
I assign a <5% probability that GP comment was AI written. It's easy to tell, because AI writing has no soul.
I think at this point it's not easy to accurately detect whether or not something is AI written. A real person can definitely write like this. In fact, that's probably where the LLMs got their writing style from.
Anyone who disagrees with this, please check the OP's previous comments. That's all the proof you need.
And then, as an exercise, ask yourself why you were willing to give this comment leniency?

> You know how the chicken sexers
That's certainly a novel and confusing entry in my search history.
I think this might be one of the first times I didnt notice it, but just look through the comment history of https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jackfranklyn , they all look the same.

This article reads like AI
“Comment I don't like is a bot” is the new “Comment I don’t like is a product of the HN hivemind conspiracy”.
The comment isn't saying anything controversial so why would I dislike it or want an excuse to throw shade on it?
It's a bot. Period.

Unclear why you think this is ChatGPT, doesn't read like it at all to me. Many people - myself included - use punctuation to emphasize and clarify.

That comment has tons of AI tells, not simply a few punctuation.

It doesn’t read like ChatGPT at all. It is well written, hardly a crime for a comment section.
Right. It's Claude.
GP defo did not tripper my AI slop detector :/
