Yep. I've been accused of using ChatGPT to compose some of my posts here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33930584#33930756

I did a quick detect on some your older posts: found this one from a year ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27568715 with 65 tokens and 99.14% fake. A quick googling shows sentences to be unique. GPT2 released on February 2019, so it would be nice to find older examples than that.

Of course, does the detector have problems when text from its training corpus is used? No idea.

Maybe your brain is just closer to an ideal GPT model than some others of us?

I assume the more clichés and boiler plate you write, that the GPT-like detection of fakes increases. However although I have played with the idea a little, I haven’t yet managed to get detected as very fake. Must try harder.

You can search by date ranges (though the date picker is kind of weird tbh):

I think I've been subtly insulted again... fail the test, more closely aligned to the statistical model of an ideal GPT and using cliché.

I plead guilty to all of them. I clearly took one for the team, let the side down, disappointed at the finish, peaked early and missed by a country mile.

Try harder. Grow a backbone. (Hu)man up!

I think we're all going to get a crash course in how difficult measurement is and how no single indicator can be relied upon, over the next few years. I think we're going to have to develop robust ways of knowing by composing many indicators together, along with intangible/vibes based epistemologies. I think that in the same way "Gen Z" (acknowledging that the concept of generations isn't as meaningful as we might want it to be) grew up understanding things about the internet better than their parents, their children will grow up socialized to use a battery of tools to determine what's real or fictional in an environment of adversarial information.

Honestly I'm worried it won't go very well. I'm writing a personal knowledge base application, with the idea being people can create an epistemology & collaborate with others to pick out what's real & what's not. I've wanted to do this for a few years, but ChatGPT helped convince me it was urgent. Open to ideas & suggestions.

Can I say that the response I wrote about 7% compounding is categorically not GPT and I fail to see what about it, perhaps should I say "them" since I wrote two distinct responses could be held to be artificial writing.

I truly expected it to be one of my more florid prose pieces. That was a minimally factual statement: 7% return on investment is astonishingly well documented, but under appreciated by people addicted to stonks, hodl and lambo talk. Oh dear. More cliché.. I'm doomed.

I think if we ran the GPT2 spotting model against anyone's comment history we'd find a couple comments that scored really high. I doubt it's actually related to your writing style.

Alternative hypothesis is that it's not about how you're writing but where. HN appears to have been used to train GPT3.5. I don't know if it was used to train GPT2, but it might have done. So your comments might be in the training set.
