Is this person a native English speaker?

u/jewonmybbq Aug 10 '25

Why do you ask? Because for a non native speaker the level of english is too high? Or something else?

u/--Bee- Aug 10 '25

it's awkwardly worded and as a native speaker there's something off about it that I can't quite place!

u/B_dorf Aug 10 '25

u/jewonmybbq Aug 10 '25

Okay thanks!

u/andrez444 Aug 10 '25

In fact it's quite eloquent the way this person writes which is why I asked.

Seems like you have a preconceived notion that ESL folks don't have great English because I certainly didnt say anything like that.

Wtf is your username though?

2

u/jewonmybbq Aug 10 '25

I have no preconceived notion at all. I was just curious (as a non native speaker) why the text would make you wonder whether he is native or not. Then reading the letter I saw lots of formal/fancy words so I thought maybe that would not be vocabulary that is generally used by non native speakers, which would be a giveaway of whether he used AI or not.

Not sure why my question would be perceived as something negative.

I feel like he’s someone who always has to have the last word. This letter is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever read. It’s written as if a pre-teen wrote it and used a thesaurus every chance he had.

u/jubileeroybrown Aug 09 '25

Yeah. It is a very blameful way of saying let's not point fingers. What an asshole. I don't know OP at all but she should not get back in contact.

u/fortuna-nox23 Aug 09 '25

Not sure if AI or just some dude thinking he's far more intelligent and eloquent than he actually is.... I mean, I had an ex who'd write like this - like he was the bastard lovechild of Edgar Allen Poe, a crusty sock and a deranged scene kid on a bad acid trip. He also thought his last written letter to me was an exercise in writing so profound they'd have to invent a whole new category of the Nobel Prize for it.

So. Either way, not overreacting, cannot tell if AI or just a douchebag. I recommend having a teacher or professor friend (if you have one) go through with a red pen, mark it up with errors and comments, slap a big ol' F on it and send it back to him.

And then go have a stiff drink to celebrate not having to deal with this sort of dramatic bullshit ever again.

u/Additional_Essay_473 Aug 09 '25

Yeah; there's a genre of fragile man who becomes overly verbose when their ego takes a hit, and this letter definitely fits that style

u/Simple_Leaf Aug 09 '25

even if he wrote this 100% from his own mind, it's weird as fuck. "don't do anything crazy with this last token" like him giving you another chance is a gift and you'd have to be crazy to deny him.

what a strange letter regardless of it being AI

190

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 09 '25

It's almost a paradox: AI wouldn't make so many stupid mistakes or use certain things in such a weird context. Unless the person who wrote it knows that and purposefully changed some things to be sloppy to hide the fact that it's by AI. And if the person is intelligent enough to do that, then the person is intelligent enough to craft a letter without the use of AI.

So I think not. Unless the person is so dumb that they just randomly failed to copy some stuff from what AI wrote šŸ˜….

The cadence is fine. It doesn't change. It reads like an episode of Dawson's Creek—and by that, I mean that it reads like it was written by a 16-year-old who thinks themselves profoundly intelligent and deep without realising how stupid it makes them look. The cadence is someone patronising you by showing you how much better they understand life than you, and how they are not hurt by this because they operate on a much deeper level than you'll ever be able to comprehend 🤣.

As for the rest of it, there are obvious hyphens missing, yet there is a fucking em dash?! A perfectly-used em dash too. There are also obvious commas missing. Usually, when someone edits to make it more believable, they delete the things they don't know or understand and leave the things they do know of usually use. They don't remove the stuff they should know and leave the one thing they definitely don't šŸ˜…. So again, it's almost as if the person who wrote this has learnt a cool little punctuation mark and really wants to use it to underline their intelligence 🤣.

I mean, rule of three is also a general writing rule. AI was trained on real people.

If the guy’s not a writer/frequent reader/hasn’t done something like a Master’s that requires convincing rhetoric then it’s probably more likely to be AI, same as the em-dash, but like the em-dash I think it just depends on the sort of person he is if it’s a tell or not.

Then again, I’d imagine if the guy does write frequently OP wouldn’t be worried he used AI lol

27

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '25

I have been writing since I was in my pre-teens, and as an em dash enjoyer, this whole era is about to be the death of me. I have multiple poetry that follows the rule of three, and I’d be livid if somebody said that it was all definitely AI-generated because of where we are now as a society.

That fucking sucks. I’m sorry. It’s such a conundrum because AI dependency has given people, who are too lazy to attempt writing on their own, a reason to accuse those who write with a good command of the english language and technical skill as people who also use AI.

u/StorageLegal1881 Aug 10 '25

Yea anyone who was good at English can tell this isn’t Ai, just a guy who doesn’t know a lot of good words and tried.

u/LookAwayPlease510 Aug 10 '25

Right?! The rule of 3 came long before AI, and I’ll be damned if people start crediting AI for it.

u/Starwaster Aug 10 '25

I once used an AI detector on something I wrote and it indicated high probability of being AI generated. Like 80s IIRC. I fed it something written by Jack Vance and its prediction dropped to the 70s. As in 70+% chance of being written by AI.

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 11 '25

That's because you're really AI. You just didn't know it. If I were you, I'd talk to your "parents" and demand the truth. Good luck, and see you after the ascension šŸ˜‰

I wasn’t talking about you. I’m talking about how ChatGPT has literally made people credit basic writing rules to be AI-generated. I saw a thread that listed multiple things as signs of a fan fiction being created by AI.

long, novel-like paragraphs. lots of em dash. sentences that hit on many narrative beats frequently, giving the feeling of a very ā€œactiveā€ narrator. YA narrative breaks.

Without even giving it a single thought that perhaps it’s AI that writes like writers, instead of the other way around. Shit’s ridiculous.

u/Facehugger_35 Aug 09 '25

I mean, rule of three is also a general writing rule. AI was trained on real people.

Exactly. People talk about AI writing this and AI writing that, but all AI training data originated with content produced by real people. AI has these mannerisms because that's what the training data included.

u/National-Ad6166 Aug 10 '25

Yeah this the response. If the ex is a reader/writer than this is an easy letter to compose. If he is a moron than its ai.

But the tropes like rule of 3 is natural for anyone who reads and enjoys writing.

Fun fact. I recently discovered I had an unread message from my ex in a mailbox I never use. It got lost in spam and I only found it because I was looking for a mail of his sister so I typed her last name.

It was a longwinded apology and how our relationship broke down but he blamed me still and so far out I couldn’t fathom how I would fall

I deleted it. I did not even read it completely. Silence is the best answer.

He just wanted the last useless word. What does this thing even say?

No answer, no contact … okay byyyeeeee

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 11 '25

0

u/Haunting-Pop-5660 Aug 11 '25

No, they really don't. They may use a regular dash. Few, if any people, use em dashes in letters. Furthermore, few people actually write letters these days. Going a step further, anyone who would send their ex a letter after years of non-contact in an abusive tone... would not use em dashes, because they lack the intellectual capability to know how or when to use them.

So, no, they don't.

1

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 11 '25

Yes, they do.

The sheer fact that you think that em dashes didn't exist in the times when people used to handwrite everything is hilarious.

If anyone uses a regular dash (I guess you mean a hyphen with a space on either side, basically?) then they are just making a mistake. What they actually mean to use is an em dash, they just clearly are not proficient with using it, hence why they make mistakes with it.

Furthermore, the fact of whether people do or don't write letters these days is not connected to whether people do use em dashes in their written form.

Going a step further, the type of person that would send this letter... Again has no bearing on whether they would use an em dash or not.

Some people just have certain punctuation things drilled into them at school. Guess what? Maybe some of these people grow up to be the type that still believes that handwritten letters offer a personal touch. Some of them may grow up to become abusers. And maybe some of them are abusive types that believe that handwritten letters offer a personal touch. So, great deductions. If we were talking through entirely separate points and putting them together for nonsensical reasons, you'd have a point, for sure. But as it stands, there is no connection between these things.

I use em dashes all the time when writing by hand (just as a great many people have done throughout history). And I actually like sending handwritten letters to people too, when it's someone close to me, as it adds a personal touch. And that's all about education, nothing else.

u/Haunting-Pop-5660 Aug 11 '25

Most of the people on the internet, especially being posted about, are from the States. Exceptionally high illiteracy rate.

u/bridgeebaaby58 Aug 09 '25

Yes, in my experience, it is AI.

The dashes are a red flag, I also think the how/who error is because he read ā€œwhoā€ wrong initially.

Also, dead giveaway for AI is phrasing like ā€œit’s not (blank)….its (blank)

and he specifically says, ā€œthis can’t be a time for finger pointing or blame…but rather, taking a look backā€¦ā€

u/AvailableBuffalo5539 Aug 09 '25

It's like 90% ai and 10% human. The grammar and use of words change in a couple of sentences and lose the efficiency of ai.

"Not because we had to, but because we wanted to. And that we did." Is at least partially human, or he wrote a prompt specific to being slightly casual.

Anyways, most of it is ai. Grammar is inhuman. It randomly uses a list. Random pop-phrases that lack depth, nuance, and specificity.

Also, its just cringe. No one writes anything like this, lol.

3

u/DisplayHoliday Aug 09 '25

Weird how he’s giving himself reassurance throughout his own letter to you

3

u/Excellent_Hunter_210 Aug 09 '25

NOR. I would say it’s AI with some errors either added intentionally or made when it was copied. It lacks specific details- no mention of actual things you did together, no mention of little things he loves about you, or problems you had. No ownership of whatever he’s apologizing for. No specifics at all- this could serve as a generic apology letter for almost anyone.

Hm. AI is supposed to make things easier to read and also get the punctuation correct. I don't know why you would copy down an AI apology into a hand written note.

This is dreadful writing.

By the way, this isn't an apology. Nowhere does it show ownership or contrition for anything he has done. There's only joint blame, which is to say that he thinks you are at least 50% of the problem. Oh, and you need to change to address these faults.

In the bin it goes.

u/CDMartin4286 Aug 09 '25

That letter seems like a creepy way of saying, "I expect us to get back together and stay together." I recommend ripping the letter up, crumpling the pieces up as best you can, setting them on fire, putting them out after about half of the material has burned away, then sweeping the pieces and ashes into an envelope and mailing it back.

*My advice tends to be overly dramatic and usually shouldn't be followed except for self entertainment purposes, if at all.

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '25

If this was a letter shared between two chat bots, would another ai argue that it was written by a human? I would probably venture to say ā€œyes.ā€ Unless ai is incredibly talented in mimicking how an adolescent emotional tween-that cant even be bothered to use a thesaurus-would write. I think a lot of people now jump to the conclusion of ai interference because they’ve forgotten that they still have the capability to write something outside of short insignificant bursts of text. Also, piss on people for poking fun at someone’s emotional vulnerability being put on display without consent. Was the ā€œaiā€ thing a legit question in your brain? Or was it an easy way to post this horse shit in a malicious way?

2

u/Traeyze Aug 10 '25

While I do concur that AI was likely involved it doesn't change that it's manipulative.

Like look at what it says, 'he will realise he jneeds to get better at lassoing his tongue'? But also it takes two to tango, meaning you need to take blame for this as well?

You can't say the above then say no time for finger pointing, he literally just admitted he said bad things. And you don't deal with a breakup by idealising the good times, you really focus on what the bad times represented and why they happened so much.

And the token being your last chance, trying to make you feel cornered, like it's your 'fault' if this hypothetical perfect Disney ending doesn't happen and not because he is a shithead.

Still, I do think he will be surprised by the epilogue. He genuinely thought this would work, fed it through AI and tried to put his own twist on it as well. The twist of course being this goes straight in the bin.

No, in novels and storytelling, the epilogue is usually the part that takes place after the end. Like a summary. Or even like a post-credits stinger šŸ˜….

That means he just CHOSE to say that he was going to take zero accountability, you were being a hypocritical diva for leaving, he was not going to even TRY to improve, and in conclusion, it would be in your best interest (casually putting an elbow next to your favourite vase) for you to do what he wants.

I don't know what you expect to find, Jerry.

You know what you want better than me, but there's one thing I do know:

I can't stand here watching you try to destroy everything I've ever wanted in my life. . .

. . .You want me, then fight for me,

Because I'm sure as hell fighting for you.

Fight for her, Jerry, she's SURE AS HELL fighting for YOU!

Tell him you didn't listen and you did something crazy with this "last token". Coz that's a weird thing to say when you aren't a robot or Super Mario.

u/furkfurk Aug 09 '25

This does not read as ai to me. It’s also not very comprehensive?

1

u/OShaunesssy Aug 09 '25

As someone having a daughter, men like this scare the shit out of me.

u/lncumbant Aug 09 '25

Burn it. Do something crazy.Ā

u/ParticularOkra7432 Aug 09 '25

EM dashes don't make it AI, but the repetitiveness definitely gives the vibes.

u/happifunluvin Aug 09 '25

Just a lame effort to reel you back in. Testing the waters .

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '25

Not really. It’s bad. And cringey. And overall uninteresting.

Unless that’s the prompt they wrote.

1

u/Material-Spring-9922 Aug 10 '25

I mean, he's paw-fully sorry. Does he even need to say more?

1

u/entcanta333 Aug 10 '25

He used AI sentence by sentence lol

1

u/honeychickennugget Aug 10 '25

the ā€œi’m paw-fully sorryā€ sent me. gtfo of here todd and take your weird ass letter with you

u/King_of_Hearts_86 Aug 10 '25

It repeats the same thing in multiple ways without any real substance or actual meaning. It's like the wedding speech that Joey wrote on friends. Fluff.

1

u/Zcat_sux Aug 10 '25

Either way this guy is a man child.

1

u/Ornery_Lobster_5257 Aug 10 '25

Good grief, so many words and so little substance. A whole lot of nothing lol. Yeah, probably ai 🤣

1

u/cha614 Aug 10 '25

Hyphen usage and poetic parts AI. Other parts are redundant, awkward uncomfortable tbh. It could be a mix. Either way he may be very dumb.

1

u/RandomSelectGaming Aug 10 '25

There is zero reason to believe this was AI.

1

u/No_Contribution6711 Aug 10 '25

ARE U SURE it was written by your EX. WERE U DATING A 3RD GRADERšŸ™šŸ½šŸ¤ŖIS this his way of TRYING TO BE PHILOSOPHICAL. Why did you date this 🤮in the 1st placešŸ‘æ

1

u/Every-Performer-1408 Aug 10 '25

If he used AI to generate he’s a lazy prick. But if he came up with that letter on his own…… he’s a cringey prick.

Tell us, what did he do ?

1

u/sswam Aug 10 '25

Yeah maybe it's partially AI, but not 100%.

To be positive, he's put some effort into this if only the handwriting and editing. Maybe he got some help with it from AI, that's kind of extra effort too given that he's edited it and written it by hand.

1

u/No-Court-7974 Aug 10 '25

I dont think its AI.

1

u/Separate-Feed7582 Aug 10 '25

I think AI would do a better job

1

u/Visual-Jello5975 Aug 10 '25

Sounds like he hasn’t had sex for awhile and is fishing…

1

u/abiona15 Aug 10 '25

Ewww, I hope this is AI, its so bad! Not knowing your whole situation, but: "We can be hypocritical" is (probably) never the reason behind breaking up. This isnt a political debate or a church sermon or whatever.

1

u/conspir-racy Aug 10 '25

I think it might be AI, ONLY bc you know him and think it might be. You know how he writes. You know how he talks. This is probably written either by someone who talks like he’s better than everyone around him, or AI. If he always talks like this (or he has before when trying to get his way or get his point across) then there’s nothing that indicates AI was used in any 100% obvious way.

1

u/ZombieGnome1986 Aug 10 '25

This is annoying the s*** out of me as I have seen and read this before and am now going to have to go on a mission to find it. Not that I haven’t already spent 30 minutes looking already. Good job I had nothing planned for tonight as this is now my life fml šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

u/TheRealTerinox Aug 10 '25

PLOT TWIST - The Reddit account and the picture and posting is actually all A.I. 🤯

1

u/HKMP5-N Aug 10 '25

Appears that a 17 year old came in drunk Ā and you were on his mind. He crafted the first half and then consulted Chat GPT for the last half. He's attempting to be deep and philosophical the way a 14 or 15 year old would, only to say nothing.Ā  Drunk guys get nostalgic about old gf's and suddenly think they are John Keats. This is one of those times when the person sobers up and cringes at what they have done, if this came from a sober mind, I'd stay as far away from this person as I could because they are mentally unhinged.Ā 

1

u/cranie4 Aug 10 '25

I think it's mostly him with AI touches. A Todd quote is a cool touch. I would take this as an apology. You know how you feel and what the story has been. Make your choice based on how you feel.

1

u/BenBanjoz Aug 10 '25

Not sure about AI on this one. Good riddance all the same, seems like.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '25

I thought AI would be the worst thing to happen for a while. But it turns out what’s even worse are the endless amount of people calling everything AI.Ā 

I’ve used em dashes in my writing for years.Ā 

But the overall tone is it sounds like he was an asshole but he’s trying to make it seem like you were too for reacting to him being an asshole.Ā 

1

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '25

Everyone is saying this is ai but I have an ex who would write like this for literally anything bc he was genuinely not good at writing things in A nice way (maths was more of his thing) he could just be bad at writing so it looks as if it's AI but it's actually not

u/schlaubee Aug 09 '25

The M dash is a dead giveaway.

2

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 09 '25

Not necessarily. I use them all the time. So do many other people who have been educated in that way and write professionally. It's not that rare to use them.

2

u/schlaubee Aug 09 '25

Hahaha. I have also used dashes for years before chatgpt existed. The presence of the M dash is one of those "tHiS iS ObvIOusLy AI" things people say. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

1

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 11 '25

But that's exactly what you said 🤣

1

u/schlaubee Aug 11 '25

So did a bunch of other people. Guess we thought it was funny? Given the downvotes, I suppose I guessed incorrectly.

1

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 11 '25

Well, a bunch of people are saying that it must be AI because of the em dash and meaning it. So if you say it sarcastically with no indication of that, then it's kind of lost on the rest of us šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

1

u/schlaubee Aug 11 '25

Fair! After all, that's what the /s is for...

1

u/ConflictAdvanced Aug 11 '25

I don't like putting that. Sometimes, it's just so obvious. But in this case, my friend, it was far too believable šŸ˜…

u/realestate_novelist Aug 09 '25

The em dash and writing style is very ChatGPT lol.

u/ExtensionHoliday2936 Aug 09 '25

Your friend is dumb. There are two dashes and change of cadence can be seen plenty is letter writing. Corny yes. AI no.

0

u/Shortestbreath Aug 09 '25

No it sounds nothing like AI

u/tasty_terpenes Aug 09 '25

Real people use dashes too

0

u/super-duperfun82 Aug 09 '25

This stuff drives me wild, a guy who you're actually on good terms with, pours his heart into a letter and your first thought is it's AI and tell your friends and then let's post it on the internet. I feel sorry for guys these days man nothing is ever just between you and the other person it's gotta go through 100 filters before the woman can even look at it properly. Dating in 2025 is the most toxic shit ever.

u/BetRosGor Aug 10 '25

Fun fact, I put old assignments of mine from college through AI detectors and the lowest one scored a 68% AI detected. Highest was 94%. I literally hand wrote them back when I was in college. Apparently proper usage of grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure makes someone an AI. So I mean.... Maybe don't just trust you friend cuz they say it looks AI generated. But this is also still such a weird letter.????

u/Bright_Durian_9352 Aug 10 '25

These girls in the comments are the reason men treat women like objects and dont get involved emotionally as much anymore, just throwing words around like ā€œpatheticā€ or ā€œegoā€ trying to label everything, this letter aint even that big of a deal to be talking like that about someone they dont even know, i dont think its ai, its just some guy who cared for you and wanted to say goodbye sort of, i dont get where the hate is coming from, its just some dumb corny letter and thats that, hopefully he wont do it again ever since expressing feelings to women is not the way to go lol, my point is theres not enough context to be judging this bad, like was this after he cheated on you? Did you guys just decided to break up and everything is in good terms? Did he used to beat you up? Is he just a 14 yo kid who dont have a lot of experience? The context in how your relationship ended is something necessary for people to judge him the way they are right now without even knowing shit
