I agree with everything you say. But wow, does that comment sound like AI. Probably Grok?

Not saying you are AI, you might just be a heavy user who picked up the same patterns

    If it were an old account I might have given them the benefit of the doubt, but they literally just joined to make this comment. There's so many green accounts popping up which reek of AI now, like I've seen ones where all of their comments are almost exactly the same length.

    It's a brand new account that reads 100% like a ChatGPT response where the author just swapped out the em dashes for hyphens when posting, knowing it's a common "indicator" people look for.

    It's more surprising to me that it seems to have already fooled a bunch of people looking at their replies to you.

    I like your AI slop detector, is it part of your consciousness ?

    The "is key - ", is a key giveaway.

    EDIT to expand the evidence: It's placing unnecessary emphasis on a one off mention in the article (differential fuzzing) and then writes a bunch of bullshit around what it thinks it means (it's wrong, differential fuzzing isn't running them both in parallel during a transition, it's a testing methodology based on inputs/outputs).

      Which many people use. Heck, go to Stack Overflow about 10 years back. You will see people using it. It's a style.

      I think it's a giveaway that it's human! A hyphen is incorrect punctuation.

        According to British style guides an en-dash would be correct in that usage, and the difference between an en-dash (–) and a hyphen (-) is pretty small. Seems perfectly defensible to me unless you are publishing a book or academic journal

        AI is trained on human output, so that's not really a good differentiator.
