    Downvote me if you like, but NONE of my comments are AI-generated. I type them out, by hand, with my thumbs, on my phone. Every single one, goddamnit.

    This is one (of many) downsides of AI—people confusing long-form text with machine-generated text.

    (And yes, I used an em-dash here. Eat shit.)

    I hate this, because my son was also flagged his school’s AI-detection system, even though I 100% know he wrote his essay (I watched him do it). The reasoning? His paper was “well beyond his grade level.” It’s bullshit, and I’m pretty irate about it. I taught him all the paper-composition principles we learned in high school: introduction, body / main thesis (including the rule-of-three [no more than three main bullet points], and Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion), summary, and conclusion. And proper punctuation. Fuck.

    So my question to you is this: how does one go about proving a negative? You say I used AI, I say I did not. How can I prove that I didn’t? How could you prove that you didn’t? Yeah, it sucks, man. One thing I actually hate about the advent of LLMs.
