I use "akin" relatively frequently, and "perplexing" ocassionally, as well as other such "rare" (?) words. Is english vocabulary beyond the top-1000 most common words or anything above 2 syllables considered a sign of AI these days?

If anything marks it as AI, it's the overall tone and phrasing (too "mechanistic"), not the use of ";", "akin" or "perplexing".

I'm not a native speaker either, sometimes I re-read some of my own comments and realise I could have phrased them much better, corrected some grammar but I prefer that they sound like me.

Just found it funny, that even with text is often very easy to tell.

So they were right on the money.

For many of us our "normal online speech" is largely identical to our normal written speech except when writing somewhere where we either are not using a normal sized physical keyboard or where posts need to be severely limited in length.

Now models could be trained adversarially against this GPTZero and you'd have a harder time..

Also, I use akin and perplexing quite often in my text. The semicolon much more rarely however. But when I write professional text, then yes, I use semicolons too.

Maybe that part did not get rephrased.

God. GPT is going to fucking ruin online discourse.

A lot of generative content is becoming hard to differentiate from human created content and it's also becoming common to see people like yourself assign false positives. I think it's good to be skeptical but as a skeptic myself I know there's downsides to considering everything suspiciously. Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever find a good solution for wanting to know if what we're looking at is AI or not.
