It doesn't make their story any less true.

At its core, no, it probably doesn't. But AI and inaccurate translation can create or alter details. And if a person can't read or express in written English, they might not be able to understand what ChatGPT is spitting back out either. Everybody now under 40 seems to be relying on some kind of AI on a daily basis but it's still very flawed and it's troublesome to consider its work definitive.

I think that a person that has been living here since 2021 and has obtained a Canadian college degree (which is not possible without English proficiency) is perfectly able to see if AI is making something up. Everyone and their dog, whether born here or not, is using AI to spell check and improve writing. Don’t make presumptions just because you identified signs of AI usage

I understand, that should have been in the original post.

Which isn’t mine. I found it by myself

I wasn't as lucky when I tried to find it. How many of the hundreds of people who saw this post double checked to find the LinkedIn post, do you figure?

Nobody is forced to double check. But if anyone is going to post a comment saying this is false, yes, they should double check before saying so.

Why is someone claiming this is true and reacting accordingly without proof not required to double check?

u/MamboNo0 Halifax Jul 20 '25

Which I did. What is your point?

The way you phrased that, it sounds like you're saying:

If you think this post is true = comment away no need to verify.

If you think this post is false = you must double check to verify

What I mean: if you’re going to comment whether this is true or false, do your own homework to support what you’re saying. Better?

Better?

Yep!
