Question to fellow HNers, do you recognize that this comment was written by AI?

No, to be honest. However, as soon as it was pointed out, I checked again and it made sense.

In my opinion, these kind of intuitions have to grow over time. And every time it’s pointed out, you learn. So please, keep pointing it out :).

I did not. Post-conditioning by your comment and the other one,I can see some signs such attempting to be unusually comprehensive. The 'atoms in your liver' could be an awkward human trying to be poetic about scales.

I still don't see idiomatic markers of AI so that's scary if your claim is correct.

I guess not, and I feel dirty now. I'm logging off for the day.

Interesting enough, I skipped it when scrolling through the comments the first time. I think I instinctually do that to most karma whoring comments, no matter if manual or LLM generated.

Only noticed it because I did another pass and saw the replies talking about "AI".

Yes but as a feeling (hunch?) not as something my brain analysed and reached a conclusion.

Weird how I'm already somewhat conditioned to spot it on a intuitive level.

Kind of. It reads a bit too much like tech support you'd get when asking one for help.

when it started going on about all the different cases in the second bullet point... yeah

Yes, stupid comparison with atoms in the liver and a bullet list below? I stopped reading.
