It's against the guidelines to do this. The community much prefers you write in your own voice, even if your English is imperfect.

Output from speech recognition, (Aqua).

Is Grammarly considered AI or not? I use Grammarly heavily because I use speech recognition in a stream of consciousness mode. It catches misrecognitions and language where I thought the right word but said a different one.

The below is the above once through Grammarly and a couple of written-by-me substitutions.

It’s the reaction of the audience that matters, not what happened on your device that nobody can see.

If the writing ends up being the same as what you would produce if you carefully edited it yourself, it will be well received.

If it shows any signs of being machine-generated rather than human-authored, the audience will sense it and react negatively.

We advise against copy+pasting any generated text into HN. If you think there’s some fuzziness around the definition of “generated”, well, see what happens.

You do you. There’s nothing wrong with AI. It’s here to stay. It’s really good now, and yet it is presently the worst it will ever be, by far.

Just tell your model to speak more casually, more conversationally, and more like it’s human written. Tell it to avoid any “AI tells,” most of which are BS anyway.

If people accuse you of using AI, ignore them.

This is a bad idea. AI is junk.
