I took a look at their profile and I’m not seeing anything that looks auto generated to me.

These all reek of ChatGPT to me:

If posts with multiple paragraphs encircling a topic seems suspect, then we're all guilty. Their points are cogent. If they've dressed the arguments in robes of "purple", so be it.

Maybe we need to up our game then. That could very well be mergekit and clever prompting. Their comment history bends in the direction of content engineering and will get less discernible the more accounts are doing it.

Please, these kinds of purple-prosed thesaurus-laden ruminations smack of LLM augmentation - two in the same thread, and neither contributing anything much more than a long winded flowery restatement of the existing state of the discussion:

It doesn’t take an LLM to write long-winded and flowery prose.

Nice new burn, though… “you write like an LLM”.

Is that what we want on these forums, attacking someone’s prose?

never heard "purple-prosed", what's that mean? like rose-tinted?

I'm thankful that I'm 40, and not in school anymore. My general writing style would get my work flagged as "AI-generated" more often than not.

I've run my blog posts through those tools in the past and pretty they consistently fail to be considered human-generated.

At least according to https://gptzero.me/ the submissions are AI Generated.
