So funny watching the media try to write 2000's era Grand Theft Auto Outrage articles now that the whole country is a casino run by murderers.

sure, important in literature review. less important in a conversation about cartoonish slurs making AI written text seemingly invisible to non Australians?

I'd love to read the review, and I know detection has been difficult particularly on small samples of unknown age and provenance. But it is also true that the state of the art moves quickly. In this specific case of large sample, new writing, and contemporary detection we're not flipping coins
