I consider HN a more serious and knowledgeable crowd, so I try to keep my replies professional and well-reasoned to reflect that. That said, I do like to use AI tools to clean up grammar and phrasing. I also write a lot of whitepapers and technical documentation at work, maybe some of that “leaked” into my response.

To be honest I found it hard to read, it seemed to be more focused on using big words and formal language than explaining the point. Not trying to roast you, just honest criticism. I think that's what gives the "ChatGPT" feeling.

I know someone else that writes like that, he is deeply involved in government bureaucracy and they have this complex jargon that I don't know.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback, really. When I type from a computer, during working hours, that happens.

I don't know if that's something you should be congratulated for though

It would make them more anonymous / harder to link to other IDs if that's what they were after.

For using ChatGPT, or for still being capable of manual writing in the age of AI?
