"A viral Reddit confessional about a "major food delivery app" posted January 2nd is most likely AI-generated. The original post by user Trowaway_whistleblow alleged that an unnamed food delivery company regularly delays customer orders, calls couriers "human assets," and exploits their "desperation" for cash, among other indefensible actions. Nearly 90,000 upvotes and four days later, it's become increasingly clear that the post's text is probably AI-generated."
"Considering the delivery app industry track record of exploitation of its drivers, it's easy to see why so many people believed this was the real thing. The Verge put the original 586-word Reddit post through several free online AI detectors, in addition to Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. The results were mixed: Copyleaks, GPTZero, Pangram, Gemini, and Claude all pegged it as likely AI-generated, but ZeroGPT and QuillBot both reported it as human-written. ChatGPT played it down the middle."
A January 2 Reddit post claimed a major food delivery company delayed orders, labeled couriers "human assets," and exploited workers' "desperation" for cash, receiving nearly 90,000 upvotes. Multiple AI-detection tools analyzed the 586-word post with mixed outcomes: Copyleaks, GPTZero, Pangram, Gemini, and Claude flagged likely AI authorship while ZeroGPT and QuillBot identified human writing; ChatGPT gave an inconclusive result. The delivery industry's record of driver exploitation made the allegations believable to many. The Reddit account supplied an image of an Uber Eats employee when contacted via Signal.
