Shoutout to the guy who called out my 'AI slop detector' list

I posted a list of 10 'tells' for spotting AI content on a forum last week, and someone replied, 'Half of these just describe bad writing, not AI.' He was right. I was flagging things like repetitive sentence structure, which a lazy human writer could also do. I went back and rewrote my whole guide to focus on actual AI patterns, like the weirdly formal synonyms it uses for simple words. Has anyone else had to rethink their detection criteria after getting called out?

Wait, you mean your whole checklist just vanished too? @gavin_clark that's insane, I lost like two weeks of notes. I still have no idea how it even happened, the app just glitched out. This feels like a major bug they need to fix right now.
