Flagged: this trips my internal GPT detector (patent pending) at 83% certainty and seems to be a lengthy meandering response to an article describing Google preventing ad blockers. The article is about Google asking for more content on the site before approving ads.

Is this more sarcastic or do you actually have a classifier built that returned 86%? Genuinely curious.

Yes, sarcastic, poking fun at myself for having a gut feeling -- so no, no classifier, afaik it's impossible to reliably. Though I would like to take a test and see my recognition rate, I wonder if there's a site for that...

You get a pretty good sixth sense for detecting GPT posts after a while. Nobody uses connectives that much.

FWIW, I was certain this was GPT by the second paragraph.

Eerie..I looked at the account after I posted my comment...it made several other comments I noticed this week.

Nearly every single comment I remember seeing and thinking it sounded like GPT, and yet, had enough content to be not-GPT, and I figured I was being cranky.

Same vibe here except blatantly off-topic, and less content than the others

Curious what you make of their other posts

I don't think it is "pure GPT" because of the "As someone...". It seems more likely that this is someone who is using GPT to make their comments longer or "fancier". Or it might be a rare example of someone who actually talks like that.
