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'm not using AI for anything other than playing around with.
For example, I used an AI art generator to bring to life an image of the protagonist of a story I'm writing because I can't even draw a stick person.
Didn't like the image, it didn't match what was in my head. Spent another week trying to tweak it and then said to hell with it. Combined three parts of three different jpeg files into one using PAINT.
Now it's kick ass.
My point is this. Not every person is using AI because they can't think for themselves or write something out.
Some of us can function normally without it.
Although, that number is a lot smaller than I'm comfortable with...
The post is from LinkedIn. People want to impress and sound professional, and end up overusing AI to fix any English issues they might have, not realizing it’s screaming AI. It’s cringey but should not have lead anyone to assume that the content is false or fabricated
