There is no way to verify that. Until a method exists to discern real from AI-generated content, we should probably assume it's generated (for our safety).
Sadly, that's the world we live in now. It was kind of like that before, but it's even more so now.
I agree. It doesn't matter. Even if a human wrote it, how does that change anything? It certainly doesn't make it more true or a more honest reflection of somebody's feelings. These people who keep worrying about AI generated content don't seem to realize the rubbish that humans create is not better.
As I read I was thinking this article had been AI-generated. It's too empty, a lot of descriptions of the same images it had just shown, and then some commentary about how they are fake, then repeat and repeat again.

This is an accessibility thing that seems to be very popular on Mastodon and I guess the author put it in the prose directly instead of as mouseover text.
It helps for people using screen readers, people who are in text browsers, people who don't load images by default, and funny enough, AI scrapers.
Author here. I definitely wrote it myself. As another commentator says, this is an accessibility thing. Individual images have alt tags but the Ghost gallery component didn't have an easy way to add those.
How well does that actually work in practice? I was using the demo on Fakespot's site and verbatim output from ChatGPT seems to get detected pretty well, but random HN comments got a lot of (presumably) false positives. "AI detectors" are kind of a crapshoot in my opinion, but I'm curious.
It's my belief that some people run their authentic HN comments through ChatGPT to "fix" their grammar. I've seen it especially with English language learners who are insecure about their abilities.
