Comment on I wish I was as bold as these authors.

Fake friendliness that was outsourced to an ai is worse than no friendliness at all.

It feels like you didn’t quite understand… If you’ve ever read an AI essay, you can see some of the way they currently write.

I’m currently getting AI spam and it’s also quite easy to see and detect. It’s the same thing.
Someone used an AI tool to write a cover letter and sent it to me. I’ve seen this a few times. It seems very obvious when you come across it.
