Fair, AI was in the loop. I'm not a native English speaker. I laid out what happened and in what order, and AI turned it into readable English. Nothing in it is hallucinated: every number comes from the raw Play Console exports at the bottom of the page. Without the tool people correct my grammar, with it they correct my style. Point taken though, I'll run the next one through your list.

And yes, this reply went through AI too.

Both are particularly badly written. Story ok. Post and reply vocab tells, fingernails on chalkboard. Broken ESL is genuinely preferable here.

Try to not get more upset when readers coach you than when the LLM rewrites you. Both happen, both are fine.

Ftr, I think you are being needlessly harsh. I enjoyed reading OP's story.

I think HN somehow automatically bans AI comments, so you should probably use Google Translate or something instead. (I know it uses similar tech but it doesn't have the same cringe writing style for some reason.)

Edit: Personally I also strongly prefer reading broken English over LLM writing.

The Broken English write to you we will (wink)

It's quite funny that (I am neither an English native speaker) I cannot tell anything bad and all your writing sounds great to me, but English natives see the AI in an obvious manner.

You can write in your native language and have an llm translate it, or you could write it in English to the best of your abilities and use an LLM to fix grammar mistakes.

Both these options are better than llm slop style.
