  • “If it is legit English and succint to the point, I dont mind AI or not. The moment you start labelling good and bad info as Claude or not (even if could be Deepseek or OpenAI or human that adopted AI way of writing) you ended up stopping yourself growth on genuine good info. Is like seeing perfect numerical operations and claim you use calculator didnt you.”

I entered into Gemini Pro (at the highest level of reasoning) and it calls it human written text and provides a far more detailed description of why: "If an LLM was used here, it was likely just used as a grammar checker or "polisher" rather than a generator. If we had to flag anything, it would be this section:... .his reads like a standard, high-quality comment from a technical forum like Hacker News or Reddit's r/analog. If the user utilized an LLM, they likely wrote the entire comment themselves and merely passed it through a tool like Grammarly or ChatGPT with a prompt like "Fix my typos" without letting it change their voice or vocabulary." I tried ChatGPT and Claude (all the most recent models I have access to) and they all agree: human text, slightly modified to be more readable.

There is a lack of tools specifically designed to effectively distinguish between human-written and AI-generated text, which is crucial for content creators and moderators to ensure compliance with moderation rules.
