Sometimes I wish I were an AI, but sorry, I'm not. English is the lingua franca for properly accessing programming and science, but since I'm a non-native speaker, I end up relying on machine translation for some difficult words, or I just speak using only the limited vocabulary I know. It's really hard as a non-native speaker. Every time I do something, people call it AI.

Honestly, it feels a bit racist. If you just look at the content, it's clearly not a comment that AI could have written—but just because I used a few em-dashes and have limited vocabulary and formal phrasing, I get called AI and downvoted. It feels like they're saying non-native speakers should just go away. And the downvotes come without any counterargument to the actual content. Does this feel a bit more human now?
