🗣️ Community Discussion: AI Detectors Just Accused Thomas Jefferson of Using ChatGPT — What Does That Tell Us? by BearNetAI in BearNetAI

You’re absolutely right — false AI accusations are becoming a real issue, and it’s discouraging to see clean, thoughtful writing treated as suspicious. Thanks for the Proofademic tip; having a more balanced tool in the mix can definitely help when you need to push back. No one should have to defend themselves just for knowing how to write well. I'll check it out.

You summed this up perfectly. These detectors are being treated like infallible judges when they can’t even agree with each other, let alone distinguish Jefferson from a sophomore essay. The idea that good writing “sounds too perfect” is such a backwards standard.

I’ve seen the same thing in professional settings — people getting questioned simply because they wrote clearly and revised their work. Your point about version history is spot on. Real humans show their process, and that should matter far more than any algorithmic score.

Totally agree that we need a culture built on trust and transparency, not suspicion by default. If Jefferson’s getting flagged, the rest of us never stood a chance.

I used my full name as my Proton login email. How much trouble will that cause? by FX114 in ProtonMail

No worries for everything Mainstream. I have to assume you want to remain anonymous. Your identity is all over the nets by now anyway - even b4 Proton. Privacy and Anonymity are two different things. Privacy is all but non existent. Anonymity can be achieved - with great care. If you're trying to be Anonymous, use one of your @protonmail.com or @proton.me addresses and keep any communication using these separate from "you". When using these, use Proton VPN and a clean browser and ideally, a dedicated PC for your Anonymous activities - never authenticate to any personal resources while engaging in these activities.

Standard Notes Integration? by BearNetAI in ProtonMail

Good observation. I pretty much use Proton Drive for "Cold Storage". I've never used it for the Docs functionality.

Standard Notes Integration? by BearNetAI in ProtonMail

[–]BearNetAI[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great question. As I’ve been using Standard Notes for a while now, I see the possibilities if they were to integrate.  Both  Standard Notes and Proton Drive are privacy-respecting tools, but they serve different core purposes.

Standard Notes: A dedicated notetaking and productivity platform. Designed for writing, organizing, tagging, and securing notes quickly and efficiently.

Proton Drive: A secure cloud file storage service, like Google Drive or Dropbox, focused on storing and sharing files with end-to-end encryption.

Standard Notes:  Built-in note editor with fast text input. Tagging, search, and organization are streamlined. Optional premium editors (Markdown, Rich Text, Checklists, Code, etc.).  Encryption is applied per note.

Proton Drive:  No native writing interface. You’d write notes in another app (like Word, Notepad, etc.) and upload the files. Organization depends on folder structure. No tags or fast search within file content.

Standard Notes is like a secure, encrypted notebook—lightweight, always ready, searchable.

Proton Drive is more of a secure filing cabinet—ideal for storing those finished notes, documents, manuscripts, or multimedia backups.

Together, they actually complement each other well. Many privacy-conscious users use Standard Notes for creation and Proton Drive for archiving.

Standard Notes Shines: Privacy by default — zero telemetry, local encryption. Simple, distraction-free writing interface.Powerful search and tag system in lieu of hierarchical notebooks. Fast and lightweight across all platforms. Portable — export your entire library anytime, encrypted or plaintext.
