As a user of an unsigned Firefox fork, Turnstile has ruined a moderate portion of the Internet for me. The way Cloudflare doesn’t think twice about eroding user freedoms, for the sake of a gate that can be trivially bypassed with solvarr or similar, is deeply disturbing. They are no longer a force for good on the web.

Isn't it the opposite? They allow you to still use it when it would almost certainly be better for cloudflare and the website behind then to just block you.

Did you base the AI use on the emdash or is this an a common AI phrase (or both)?

“It’s not X, it’s Y” is an absolutely ubiquitous AI pattern. Throw in an em-dash and it’s basically ai;dr

"Not just X -- it's Y" is one of the more irritatingly common signs, especially for sentences like that one which absolutely do not need it.

The Wikipedia article on detecting AI writing is a big help if you need to calibrate your sensors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

It's not just overused phrasing — it's the hallmark of LLM prose.
