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.

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.

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

  • 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.

    • The message is 100% AI written. And if you click on their username and check their comment history you'll see that ALL their comments are "identical". Just do it, you'll see it by the 5th message. No one talks like that. No one talks like that on every message.

  • 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.
