In a study recently published in the journal Patterns, researchers demonstrate that computer algorithms often used to identify AI-generated text frequently falsely label articles written by non-native language speakers as being created by artificial intelligence. The researchers warn that the unreliable performance of these AI text-detection programs could adversely affect many individuals, including students and job applicants.

As a non native am keenly aware of every mistake i make. Sometimes, i fix the same text 4 or five times in row.

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 7 points 1 year ago

I count 4 mistakes. Conclusion: AI generated

Where ? You got me anxious about my writing skill dude...

[-] DeadlineX@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not OC but you forgot the “I” before “am”. I should be capitalized twice. It should say in a row. It’s also a bit weird that you used 4 and then five. Plus it really should be non-native I guess. And since you didn’t specify what you aren’t native to/of, it can only be assumed at this point that you are not a native human. The reason for that? Definitely a bot.

Also honestly don’t worry about any minor errors in your writing. Especially on the internet. Just blame autocorrect.

I didn't specify what I'am not native to because it can be understood from the context. Capitalizing the 'I' feels weird and I juste saw the "in a row" mistake.

[-] DeadlineX@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

In English, I is always capitalized when referring to the self. The “not specifying” comment was me making a joke and calling you a bot. It was just tying the context of the post into my comment.

I usually see mistakes in comments as being caused by crappy phone keyboards, as mine seems to be extra trash recently.

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, phone keyboards do be really crappy.

Lol. No big deal. It's the sort of thing your eyes skip over when checking your grammar.

Should be

As a non native I'm keenly aware of every mistake I make. Sometimes, I fix the same text 4 or five times in a row.

Two of the mistakes were just capitalization of 'I'. You should probably also use either digits or spelling for both numbers, not a mix.

Thanks for the correction.

FTFY.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

hey just to give some validation, I'm an esl teacher and this doesn't stick out as non-native at all. They're all just taking the piss, correcting anything they can find for the joke of it.

maybe saying "am" instead of "I am" but that's kinda just meme speech right

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

That's really nice of you. Thanks !

I have been using ChatGPT to proofread most of my formal written communications.

"This guy is definitely AI."

I'm a college instructor and encourage my students to use ChatGPT this way.
