Tools like Turnitin or GPTzero don't work well enough to trust. The real issue isn't just detecting AI writing. It's doing it without falsely accusing students. Even a 0.5% false positive rate is too high when someone's academic future is on the line. I'm more concerned about wrongly flagging human-written work than missing AI use. These tools can't explain why they suspect AI. At best, they only catch obvious cases. Ones you'd likely notice yourself anyway.

A lot of small indie or fan games love to hide on Discord. Got banned? Appeal it on Discord. Wanna submit feedback? Come on over to Discord!
What do they gain from this? Besides making their content impossible to find in search engines, clearly they're optimizing for maximum inconvenience and peak exclusivity. Nothing says "accessible community" like forcing players to re-ask the same questions in a walled-off chat nobody can Google.
Stick to a small circle of trusted people and websites. Skip mainstream news. Small blogs, niche forums, and tiny YouTube channels are often more honest.
Avoid Google for discovery. It's not great anymore. Use DuckDuckGo, Qwant, or Yandex instead. For deeper but less precise results, try Mojeek or Marginalia. Google works okay only if you're searching within one site, like site:reddit.com.
Sometimes, searching in other languages helps find hidden gems with less junk. Use a translator if needed.
