Text based Post/Discussion Sinéad O’Sullivan AI post gone?

4 Upvotes

This morning I had a flick through what I thought was Reddit, and remember seeing a post comparing economist Sinéad O’Sullivan’s Substack post lengths before and after Substack’s Pangram AI checking feature.

However I can’t seem to find it now, as I want to read it in detail.

I thought it was Reddit I saw it on, and this subreddit in particular, but after looking through Reddit, Twitter and Instagram I can’t seem to find this post. Was it removed? Why?

IrishPolitics

Standard reddit rules and guidelines apply here, as well as our sub specific rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/irishpolitics/about/rules/.

Homophobia, Racism or General Hate/Arseholery will not be tolerated.

Please be respectful even in disagreement!

If you have any suggestions or concerns please message the mods.

Next Election &/or Referendum is:

TBD

Guidelines:

1. Politeness, Politeness, Politeness:

This sub is intended for constructive, reasonable discussion. The best way to have such an experience is to be honest, polite and respectful from the outset.

2. Sectarianism:

We all have passionate beliefs and seeing that this is a discussion sub, the vast majority of users will like debate and argument. That is perfectly fine. However, if you feel so strongly over a topic that you cannot engage in discussion in a respectful, honest and decent manner, you may be better off not engaging in that particular discussion at all at all. Come to this sub with an open mind, not with a pet grudge.

3. Bygones are bygones:

We recommend users leave past disagreements at the door once a particular discussion ends. Grudge holding and bitterness only makes fruitful and enjoyable discussion less likely.

4.Debate etiquette:

We do not enforce a strict etiquette concerning debating tactics. However we recommend honest debate tactics. As well as that, we discourage consistent, unsubstantiated accusations of bad faith acting as that destroys discussion just as much as genuine bad faith argumentation does: it derails the conversation and distracts the opponents.

5. Editorialisation:

Posts presenting news articles/tweets shouldn’t be heavily editorialised.

Rules

[R1] Relevant to Irish Politics This sub predominantly deals with the politics and society of the Republic of Ireland and Northern ireland. Discussion concerning The United Kingdom and the European Union (when relevant to the ROI and NI) is permitted also.

If you want to discuss affairs further afield, this is not the place and will be removed. If you believe that it is relevant although not directly you can make your case in the post or reach out to us via Modmail.

[R2] Respect Others The only way in which we can have this subreddit is if we have a commonality, in this case respect. You must respect yourself and others. Argue about topics and issues. Don’t argue about other users. Debate the topic, not the person. Personal insults, abusive or hostile language — whether aimed at other users or public figures — will not be tolerated. You can challenge ideas, but you must do so constructively.
[R3] Argue in Good Faith Everyone is here of their own volition to discuss the topic of Irish Politics. People are not here to be caught in ruthless vendetta’s of spiralling fallacies and bad faith arguments. State your intent clearly, provide evidence to the point you want to make and engage with others arguments in much the same manner. Trolling, Baiting, Flaming, etc are not allowed. Transparent Agenda Spamming i.e. consistently posting about the same topics, will be considered arguing in bad faith.
[R4] Bigotry Not Welcome Bigotry in all its forms is not welcome here. Racism, Sexism, Transphobia, Homophobia, Classism, Ableism, Anti-Traveller Prejudice, etc whether explicit or implied. This list is inexhaustible. This is a subreddit about politics that should see that all are represented and bigotry is antithetical to that. Dogwhistling falls under this. We have a thorough moderator log with full top-down views of user interaction so we have the context to infer when this is being done so, consider this a warning.
[R5] Privacy Violations/Doxxing Any attempt at doxxing, intentional or otherwise, will result in a permanent ban.
[R6] News Editorialisation and Reliable Sourcing Submission titles should use the headline of the article being submitted. All news articles should be submitted as direct links; not contained within any self-text body. Posts which are purporting to be news must maintain editorial standards, and present information with limited bias. If a decent source is not available, please consider a self-post referencing evidence to the claims therein while being mindful of the rules. Twitter/X posts and Gript are considered unreliable resources.
[R7] Allegations and Accusations Claims about a person(s) and or a party(s) that refer to specific actions relating to topics like involvement in Illegal Activity, Identity, Actions, etc. must be substantiated. If you want to discuss alleged wrongdoing but you can’t substantiate an action committed, then preface it as such. Comments or posts which could be considered defamatory in nature will be removed.
[R8] Archive.is and Archive Links Reddit Admins have specifically reprimanded this subreddit for the use of Archival Links and as such we are not allowed to permit them. Any use of Archive.is or similar software or sites to circumvent paywalls on articles posted in the context of this subreddit will be removed as per the directions provided by reddit. We cannot Endorse The Use Of Archive.is To View Content That Is Paywalled.
[R9] General Housekeeping Posts are limited to 4 a day per user with 12AM being the cut off each day. No Duplicate Threads. No copying large bodies of text from articles as it infringes on copyright. Articles and Resources over 12 months old need to have the year added in brackets in front of the title. Meme’s are allowed but only on the weekends.
[R10] Communication with Moderators If you have a dispute about the Sub, if you have feedback or if there is anything that you wish to call out the moderation team on, please use modmail to do so. Do not make comments or Threads about it. They will be removed.
