alt Hacker NewsI think most native English speakers are doing well. The one who will face issues are non native ones. I knew English as my third language since about 10 years but I've only truly become somewhat proficient in it in the past 5 or so years, thus it was heavily influenced by LLMs. So who's at fault for this? Me, for speaking like an LLM simply due to my circumstances? Am I now supposed to learn "human" english?

From what I've seen and read it regularly flags native English writing as AI too. Sometimes even changing a few words is enough for it to change the verdict.
It's not command of the english language it flags (for native vs non native to matter), it's stylistic mannerisms, some of which happen to also exist in some direct translation of some foreign patterns for some languages.
But it detects them in a crude manner, missing obvious AI slop, and misflagging human texts.
