I've found there's at least one person in most comments that will claim anything is written by AI. Too well written? AI. Poorly written? Bad AI. More commas or dashes than they'd personally use? Definitely AI.
I very much doubt this was AI. Why? Because it actually figured out what was wrong about what the guy had done. AIs don't do that, and this guy clearly had no idea.
You can ask an AI to write an apology for you, but you have to tell it what you're apologizing for doing.
Hey chat, can you write an apology for this post that doesn't open us up to liability? (Paste post here)
Edit: here is what it gave me when I asked it
Tap for a.i. slop
We hear the feedback we've received about our recent post, and we understand why it upset people.Our intention was to celebrate the energy and commitment of our community, but the way we communicated that missed the mark. We recognize that parts of the post came across as encouraging decisions that shouldn't be tied to employment opportunities or professional advancement. That was not the message we wanted to send.
We're sorry for the confusion and concern the post caused.
We've removed the post and are reviewing how we communicate our events and recruiting activities to ensure our messaging better reflects our values and responsibilities.
We appreciate everyone who took the time to share their perspective. We'll do better.
Somehow I doubt that was the full prompt because it knew about "encouraging decisions that shouldn’t be tied to employment opportunities".
It also didn't mention anything about paying people to have their tattoos removed, something which was key to the original post, and if that hadn't been addressed the firestorm would have reignited.
It was the full prompt, in that I pasted the original post in the part where I said (paste post here), instead of literally writing "paste post here", or omitting it from the prompt
