What got me was "I keep seeing the same shape next to billing events in other people's reports".

Clicked off after that.

I'm extremely bullish on AI, but I am tired of people not using their own words. Is everyone so insecure about the personality they project in writing that they need to replace it with some AI bullshit?

(To the author: if you didn't do this, which I accept is a possibility, I'm sorry -- you've been caught by the storm of fatigue that has plagued us due to those who do replace their words with AI crap)

Hmm. You are making a good point, and I wouldn’t give the benefit of the doubt to this post’s author. But you can’t just unsee “this is twice load bearing”. Some people will wonder if it’s a training, self-reinforcing feedback artifact. For others, it will work like a memetic virus[^1].

The paradoxical thing is that those of us who have English as a second language should have an easier time producing non-AI-English by the mere act of directly writing what we want to write.

Have you thought about the fact that the author is in the Philippines and English isn’t his first language?
