I might have to reexamine my attitudes: the entire article felt AI-written to me, which instantly reduced my appetite for reading it.

Which is unfair of course. A) I don’t even know whether it was actually was written by AI and B) even if it was, it still encapsulates a human’s potentially worthwhile thoughts and experiences.

But.. undeniably genAI will lead to a much greater volume of text being written so we’ll all have to be even more selective in what we read and what not?

I don't need an AI detector to see I dislike the AI-like style of the article, the bombastic extra-hype American-style self-brand LinkedIn-lingo.

The article felt honest and personal to me.

Ai detectors are bullshit.

That said, the second paragraph has the distinctive stocatto tone of AI

But AI is shaping how we write, so this could well all be hand written just by someone who spends time with AI output.

> stocatto

Staccato, which is Italian for "detached, separated".

When I see simple Italian words used as technical terms in music or art, I think "oh, this must be what English speakers feel when they work in tech - a lot of common words becoming specific concepts in that particular field".

Thanks for the correction, I felt I hadn't got the word quite right.

Also, he is dangerously close to "stocazzo", which is similar to a very offensive way to say "fuck no!".

AI is also based on how we write. Some people are bound to write in a similar vein to LLMs naturally. See this person’s blog about it [0].

So what? Detecting whether content was produced by AI is impossible. Please stop shilling tools promising the impossible. The mentioned 99.98% accuracy is complete bullshit.
