They seem completely unaware of what has become of North Korea. It is an act of freezing time itself, a path beyond self-destruction into degeneration. The situation in Iran is no longer simply a matter of democratization or religion; it has become a question of common sense VS. senselessness.
I get incredibly stressed out every time you call my writing "AI slop." And when my carefully crafted articles get flagged, it hurts even more. I'm not a native English speaker—you're right about that. When I write my articles, I rewrite and revise them over and over, agonizing over every detail. I can't pretend I don't use tools like Grammarly and AI writing assistants in that process. But I write these articles based on what I've actually experienced, staking my entire career on them. Maybe it looks like garbage (slop) to you. But for me, each piece represents a tremendous amount of thought and effort. You said I didn't major in accounting, but I actually have substantial knowledge in accounting and hold an MBA degree. I've also worked in the IT industry for over 10 years. Lately, every time I post something I've written on HN, I hear "AI slop," and honestly, it's been devastating.As this year comes to a close, I really needed to share this.
++ I'm a native Korean speaker, fluent in Japanese, learned English in high school and polished it during a college exchange program. Maybe that's part of why my writing feels "off" to native speakers?
Your English is excellent -- a bit too excellent, perhaps, when many native English speakers are inconsistent about grammar and spelling. Also, there's an informal, slightly sarcastic tone that people use online that differs from the typical AI output.
If you have time, I'd appreciate it if you could check my recent comment history. I got into a discussion where several users kept insisting I was using AI to write my responses. Even after I repeatedly explained I wasn't, they didn't believe me. That's what prompted this post.
