Tamping down on verbosity, removing em-dashes and adding misspellings are the obvious fixes to apply when your first attempts at spamming get flagged for being too on-the-nose: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=coder-pm&next=487167...

There are "humanizer" scripts that these people like to use. This one is not the typical style I see in my online moderator adventures, which is usually "lowercase everything and remove all punctuation except periods", as if we are repelled by em-dash use and not the tortured prose.

I like the removal of a random definite article, to simulate an ESL writer and garner sympathy for using LLMs as a "tool to clean up posts". Heavens, they would never even think of using their Claude subscription to be a slop factory, that would cross a line.
