Same. The api error says "Sorry, you have been blocked", but I think the request was blocked (not the account).

I guess this status page can't be trusted (as usual).

I think ChatGPT uses it a lot because it was trained on articles that use it, just because it's a common phrase, no?. It's actually something I started saying while recording screencasts, so it just became a phrase I use often.

I think you're right, it does sound "artificial", I should avoid using it.

In the comments of my original post someone also mentioned: "These days, I personally find articles with minor grammatical errors more interesting than AI assisted/enhanced/corrected content, because AI generated content often comes off bland and loses the rawness of author's intentions.".

I agree with your points, it's amusing though that we need to adjust the way we naturally speak and keep some errors, to not appear as AI.

I wrote a blog post and submitted it to HN yesterday. At first the upvotes were coming in quickly and it even got to the front page, but then some comments started saying that it's '100% written by AI' and it ended up being flagged. I wrote the entire thing with no use of AI, and only used chatgpt to proofread it.

I think it's amusing how people are paranoid about wasting time reading something that was generated by AI, and I can relate to it. But it was strange seeing how sure some people were that it was written by AI, when in fact it wasn't.

That's a good point, thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! That's a great point.

I'll try to work on making my writing more concise, based on the comments here.

I see what you mean, I was trying to come up with a title that gets readers interested in reading the post, but I guess it came out too click-baity.
Thank you!

I'm new to writing about marketing, so I hope to improve as I go and offer better insight with more practice.

I wrote the entire thing with no use of AI, but I did use chatgpt to proofread and improve my English (not my first language).

I'll try to make my next post more concise.

Haha it was actually written by a human (me) but I did use AI to proofread (English is not my first language).

So the other way around...

I thought it's allowed to try to post the same article more than once no?
I'm new to blogging about marketing so just doing my best, I usually write about technical topics.

Happy to hear what I can improve for my next post, if you have advice.

I started using chatgpt a lot to come up with FFmpeg commands for me.

I made a small cli tool so that I can do it right in the terminal: https://github.com/alexkrkn/help-cli

And made a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOda6TDBqcY

Hope someone finds it useful as well!

Very useful!

I started using chatgpt to come up with ffmpeg commands, just so much faster and easier to find what I need.
