I think this basically proves your point. There were things about it that made me think it may have been at least "AI-assisted", until I saw your "guaranteed bot-free" thing at the bottom. Anyone doing entirely hand-written things from now on are going to be facing a headwind of skepticism.

The authentic nature of opinions means that sometimes they suck. Maybe GP is commenting that your opinion sucks?

this is a funny phenomenon that I keep seeing. I think people are going through the reactionary “YoU mUsT hAvE wRiTtEn ThIs oN a CuRsEd TyPwRiTeR instead of handwriting your letter!1!!”

hopefully soon we move onto judging content by its quality, not whether AI was used. banning digital advertisement would also help align incentives against mass-producing slop (which has been happening long before ChatGPT released)

I don't have the time or energy to judge content by its quality. There are too many opportunities for subtle errors, whether made maliciously or casually. We have to use some non-content filter or the avalanche of [mis]information will bury us. We used to be able to filter out things with misspellings and rambling walls of text, and presumably most of the rest was at least written by a human you could harangue if it came to that. Now we're trying to filter out content based on em-dashes and emoji bullet lists. Unfortunately that won't be effective for very long, but we have to use what we've got, because the alternative is to filter out everything.
