That time a bot actually helped me win an argument on Reddit
I was on a gardening subreddit arguing with some guy about whether you really need to soak beet seeds before planting. He kept saying I was wrong with these super formal paragraphs. After like 10 messages back and forth I ran his writing through one of those AI detectors and it flagged him at 92%. I screenshot everything and posted it, and the mods actually banned him for breaking the bot policy. Kinda wild that a tool designed to catch bots ended up saving my argument.

...and honestly @jessem59 hit the nail on the head there. Those detectors are garbage for anything serious. I've seen them flag old reddit comments from like 2015 that were clearly written by a person, just because they used semi-correct grammar. The whole thing is a joke. But in that specific case, it worked out because the guy was actually a bot and it gave you the proof you needed. Still wouldn't trust one to settle a real debate without backing it up with other stuff.
