That sounds like a GPT trope, and seems a slightly weird thing to say: the only reason I thought you might be choosing it because it was European was because your entire comment talked about how you were looking for EU alternatives, and how Bunny is better than other European alternatives.
Come to think about it, this is exactly the sort of output I would expect if a sales person at Bunny had asked GPT to generate a response to sound authentic whilst pointing out out that Bunny is European and better than Hetzner.
To be clear, I'm not saying you're using AI, because I trust you're a legitimate user, and it's also the sort of thing a legitimate user would say, but the style and tone of your comment feels a bit... uncanny. Sorry!
- laszlojamf 4mo agothis might be a case of AI feedback, where people have been exposed to so much AI writing that they are starting to write like AI themselves.
- 1dom 4mo agoI agree! It might even be an issue on my side, where I'm exposed to AI generated stuff that often that everything starts looking like a trope when it's not. Either way, I've seen more than enough in this comment section to make me want to avoid bunny for now anyway.
- onaclov2000 4mo agoInteresting side thought, dunno if it would give any real indication, but I assume the difference between pasting a bunch of text vs typing each character would seem like a potential indicator (for now) whether someone might have used AI to respond.
- dabinat 4mo agoIf my comment is more than a few sentences, I’ll often type it up in my Notes app and paste it in. It means I don’t lose it if there’s some kind of technical issue, and I don’t run the risk of accidentally fat-fingering the Submit or Reload buttons. I do it with text messages too.
- onaclov2000 4mo agoThat's fair, I am typically typing stuff up on mobile, I rarely visit the site on desktop, and while I agree that those scenarios exist I wonder the frequency, dunno, AI identification is getting harder all the time :)
- close04 4mo agoAs a general observation, because I can't vouch for who used AI or not, claiming LLM is also a quick way to dismiss things. LLMs learned from human output so it should be obvious to anyone that enough humans write or express ideas in that style that it became the default for LLMs. Ideas were rarely judged on their merit on the internet even before LLMs, this AI age just gave those looking for a shallow dismissal more options.
- fragmede 4mo agoThis is how the bourgeoisie win. By getting the intellectuals to fight amongst themselves, not about the ideas in the text that might threaten them, but by an offkilter assessment of the idea's provenance. Come on. Maybe We could argue about immigrants instead?
- hk__2 4mo ago> That sounds like a GPT trope It sounds natural to me. Remember that most people here are non-native speakers, including OP.
- letmevoteplease 4mo agoI think you're confusing this with the more classic "it's not X, but Y" trope. That sentence is a comma splice that I'd expect LLMs to avoid by default.
- Lucasoato 4mo agoHere's an answer you can write in Hackernews: I'm really sorry if it sounded like a GPT trope, but that came 100% from me. Not that this is a guarantee of quality (actually it's not), but certainly authenticity. Probably I'm using so many agents lately that I'm starting speaking like them lol If you want I can make it sound more natural, just let me know and I'll change it!
