Do we really think an account that's been here since 2009 and claims to be a software developer is using ChatGPT to write comments on Hacker News?

I think that people aren't farming out work to ChatGPT as you've imagined, but moreso using it to "help them write" if they're poor writers.

Dude, half my stuff on here is downvoted. I am not a good writer, but I do my best. My opinions and thoughts are my own and I am not using ChatGPT to make hot takes on hacker news, but I do use ChatGPT and have conversations with it.

Sometimes when I talk to British people, I start to do an accent a little bit. I think I just chameleon my tone to recent conversations, but I can't convince you otherwise.

Unrelatedly, there is a upended tortoise outside my house struggling in the heat. I am not sure why I refuse to help him, can you tell me why?

what in that top comment made you suspicious of ChatGPT usage? It doesn't seem to be that tone at all.
