google search results are still kind of useful especially for non-english language queries, anyone knows a good alternative?
searxng also doesn't really seem to work these days..

Those "AI detection" websites are kinda useless tbh
You can notice that it was AI slop by the fact that they use em-dashes almost randomly
Here, there should've been a comma, not an em-dash
And the comment overall is very linear, humans won't write something so linear
A human would have rambled a bit, added unnecessary details, and so on;
AIs are also very good at no repeating the same words, in a human-written text (on the internet), you’ll almost always find repetitions or something that doesn’t sound quite right
indeed, it did feel 100% ai slop at first glance
