AI threads - clever but detectable ?

Am I unreasonable in thinking there are suddenly a lot of AI-written posts that sound like they are trying to use a standard Mumsnet formula and phrasing? They are actually very good matches for the forum, but there is just a certain cadence/feel to them that stands out. ?

Massive giveaways (to me) include ‘I’m curious’ and anything about ‘navigating’ a situation. But yes, I reckon a significant proportion of OPs are now AI-based.

Yes, it's definitely in trying-too-hard phrasing and world-building scene setting.

Yes, I think so too.

It's some unlikely phrasing, or an odd metaphor in a wall of text written by someone who seems unusually occupied with describing a situation like a picture, not a person being thrown about by it.

And it is weird, because it was so clunky before that it was immediately identifiable. But now it is more subtle, with spelling mistakes and edits.

Or, I could be completely wrong and paranoid 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t know but AI responses to threads are becoming very common and quite annoying.

‘I asked ChatGPT and it said’.

If people wanted to hear from chatGPT, they’d have asked chatGPT.
