really compelling article about the number of “obvious ai tells” that are also… how a lot of people educated in english writing in colonized nations are taught to write. i.e. highly formal english rhetoric.
I *feel* like it’s broadly known, but maybe this is just because I’m a teacher, but “ai writing detectors” discriminate disproportionately against ESL writers (that is, they falsely identify legitimate human writing that is ESL as AI writing at a higher rate)
And that means YOU, random ai witchhunter on your internet crusader horse, are quite likely to also accidentally discriminate .
Don’t accuse strangers of AI writing based on vibes.
Sit with and process the fact that a lot of times you can’t tell and you don’t get to know for sure. It’s frustrating and scary. You’ll be a better person if you learn to manage those emotions.

COLUGOS MY BELOVEDS
I LOVE THIS PLANET SO MUCH
colugos are amazing!! there are only two species of them and they’re found in southeast Asia. they may resemble bats, but they’re in their own order (Dermoptera) and their closest relatives are primates!
they’re also sometimes referred to as flying lemurs which is funny because they neither fly nor are lemurs :) they ARE able to glide though, and they eat fruit, leaves, and flowers. their incisors are super cool and have grooves that help them feed and also groom themselves!!! they are so interesting and amazing and more people need to know about them!!!!!!!!
Vinyl records are circular because it’s an efficient use of space: the grooves that encode the music are laid out in a spiral on the disc, so that the needle only has to move as far as the disc’s radius to read the entire thing. Before this clever idea was thought of, the grooves were instead laid out in a straight line, and every LP was a narrow rectangle more than a thousand feet long. To flip an album to side b at least two people were needed, one at each end, coordinating via shouted instructions.
