> And honestly, ... [emdash] AI-written comment?

• jdw64 3mo ago
  Sometimes I wish I were an AI, but sorry, I'm not. English is the lingua franca for properly accessing programming and science, but since I'm a non-native speaker, I end up relying on machine translation for some difficult words, or I just speak using only the limited vocabulary I know. It's really hard as a non-native speaker. Every time I do something, people call it AI. Honestly, it feels a bit racist. If you just look at the content, it's clearly not a comment that AI could have written—but just because I used a few em-dashes and have limited vocabulary and formal phrasing, I get called AI and downvoted. It feels like they're saying non-native speakers should just go away. And the downvotes come without any counterargument to the actual content. Does this feel a bit more human now?

    A "yes" would have sufficed.

      So what, do I have to prove that I'm human or something? There are really a lot of people like you who don't respect non-native speakers. You seem to enjoy mocking native English speakers around you, don't you? You saying it's "You're AI", but I'm genuinely not an AI—I don't understand why you won't accept that. 'To be honest' just maps directly from '솔직하게 말해서','솔직히','까놓고','그리고 사실','명확히하자면','사실' etc in Korean, my native language. There are many phrases that map directly like that. There aren't many connecting words. There just aren't that many direct mappings. You must ask every foreigner who asks you for directions if they're an AI.Now that I'm reacting this aggressively, are you happy because you think I'm not an AI
