just got insulted by a particularly offensive dark pattern: I went to the first online character counter I could find to check the length of something I’d written in a web form, and aside from the character count, it popped up this brazen lie that my completely handwritten post was ā€œobviouslyā€ AI-generated. But don’t worry, they can automatically ā€œremove AIā€ and make it ā€œ100% humanā€! By which they mean charge me for an LLM to continuously rewrite it in stranger and stranger ways until it scrapes a ā€œ0% LLMā€ detection score

That’s a dark dark pattern. Yes, it’s double dark how effectively it affects your psychology. I might be feeding this sort of behavior with my posts that I can see AI-writing everywhere and will stop.
