The problem is on a thread where there is 1 AI post, people will identify 10 posts as being AI.
People latch onto the word "delve" or an em-dash or the idiom of "it's not X it's Y" as being proof that something was written by AI, without ever considering that AI is largely just writing in the style of how internet commenters write since that's a lot of the training data.
Now we've got students re-writing their homework to avoid looking like AI and commenters self-censoring against words and phrases that trigger AI suspicion.
I'm deeply skeptical that people can correctly identify human-written vs latest AI model written HN comments with sufficient accuracy.
