For comparison, the following AI check was performed on the first two paragraphs of my Grow Your Own Cigars book, Introduction.

I published the book in 2019, before AI was available. It was written, edited, then repeatedly edited probably 5 times.

EDIT: I suppose it reads like the many published books ingested by AI.

I just ran more of my own writing, including a chunk from a Sci-Fi story that I wrote about 30 years ago. Most of it is reported in the low to mid 70s probability that it was AI generated. So the tool appears to be useful only if the AI probability is quite high.

If you scan it in parts you'll find that in total its 88% AI, but the first paragraph is 59% AI, and the rest on its own is 98%.

As most of us know, intuitively, one of the points of a forum is to have human interaction, so passing off ai as your own work isn't in the spirit of what we're doing here. We will give @allen123 a chance to present his human side.

Haven’t seen glass pipes talked about much, here.
Anyone use one?

I doubt it.

I'd be quite surprised to find anyone using a glass or silicone pipe for tobacco. There's a reason you'd want to very thoroughly clean one to remove any residue.

Good thing they didn't know that a millennium ago.

Well, those people weren’t smoking things that they needed to hide from the cops…

Interesting, though. I have to wonder if archaeologists in a thousand or two years will find a bunch of old briars and intricately carved meerschaums, and project from that the religious and ceremonial use of nicotine for hallucinogenic rituals in the 20th and 21st centuries.

They might notice that only a small percentage of people have pipes, and that those individuals often have very many of them. "Those people by the mid 21st century appeared to reside at some of the few locations also containing books made with paper, signifying their roles as would-be luddite sages."

…altars were found through out the settlements, where offerings and blessings were made/recieved. The nature of these offerings and blessings is unknown as no examples have yet been discovered, however, akin to a household or city diety, virtually every citizen worshipped the god called “ATM”.

Those would be the priests, of course.
