Context: A friend asks, Do you and your husband often argue about household chores?

Yeah, we do argue about household stuff sometimes. I think every couple does at some point. It's usually over small things, like who forgot to buy milk or whose turn it is to take the rubbish out. Nothing really serious.To be honest, I don't think those little arguments are actually about the chores. Most of the time it's because we're both tired or have too much on our minds. Then even something small can become a bigger deal than it should be. We usually calm down after a while and everything goes back to normal. I guess that's just part of living together.

How do you find my Engish?
 
Since this is meant to be spoken English, we obviously can't tell whether it's a spontaneous answer or how good your pronunciation is, but in terms of vocab and grammar it's perfectly natural—indistinguishable from that of a native speaker.

Are you sincerely implying that this is entirely all your own work and that you were unaided by AI? It's clearly a much higher level than your piece about the aggressive dog.
 
Yes, it was polished by an AI, which I prompted to be like a native-speaker with the focus on how British people normally speak. I thought I could spend less time of yours and mine for revising my text. My own plan is getting ChatGpt and Grok to craft many similar topics taken from my real life rather than from text books, which I can hardly incorporate into my own life.
 
Okay, but then why did you ask us to evaluate your English if it's not actually your English? What was the point of your post?

I needed to understand whether the polished version is up to the level of an English-speaking community so that I could responsibly rely on an AI capabilities. So your assistance was great. If you assume that it is not mine, you are right based on the classical approach. I have also checked your platform policy. It appears it does not prohibit the usage of AI, (at least responsible one as Oxford and Cambridge now permit and use) Please correct me if I am not right and I will follow your quidance. Again, it is the polished version, not generated from scratch. The chosen AI was carefully instructed.

You can assume that every LLM you can find, whether it's ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, etcetera, will always write everything in perfect English, indistinguishable from that of a native speaker. In fact, that's the whole point of what they do.

What's the 'classical approach'?

I don't know what the forum policy is, or even if we have one, but in my opinion we ought to get one as soon as possible.

I don't know what you're referring to here.

My guidance would be that you tell us exactly what you want to know and why in post #1. If your question here was whether AI can be relied upon to write in natural English, then you should have told us that in the first place. One way to save members time here on the forum is to tell us why you're asking your question when you ask it.
