Hey guys,

Figured I’d share something I messed up on, in case it helps someone else avoid doing the same.

When I first joined Bitcointalk, I wasn’t too sure what kind of posts were expected, so I thought using an AI tool to help me word things better would be a smart move. It wasn’t like I was copying stuff I was just using it to make my posts sound cleaner.

Turns out, that wasn’t a good idea. A couple of my posts got flagged for being AI-generated, and honestly, I get it now. They didn’t sound like me at all just too polished and robotic. Looking back, they probably came off as fake or soulless, even though that wasn’t my intention.

I’ve realized that people here value real, honest opinions not perfect sentences. So yeah, lesson learned the hard way.

From now on, I’m just going to write the way I actually talk and think, even if it’s a bit rough around the edges. At least it’ll be me and that’s way more important.

If you’re new here like I am: don’t overthink it or try to sound too “professional.” Just be real, share your thoughts, and you’ll get better with time. The forum is full of smart people who appreciate honesty more than anything else.

Appreciate the folks who called me out and seriously It helped more than you probably realize.
