Your classmates must have adored you for it. 
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 
True. Not many collectors put enough thought on this.
It can be hard to accept… but any of us could not be here tomorrow.

Fwiw i put emergency contacts in The back of my binder for my wife, nobody else is really going to know what i have so had to point her in the right direction in case i dont wake up or something
It is, it has a lot of resemblances to the core of chatgpt writing, and the last part of it is very reminiscent of a Chatgpt “personality” (a style that you can choose for chatgpt to write in).
I am pretty confident that this is AI, and I can provide more evidence if need be.

Yeah. It was the formating that tipped me off. Chat GPT is obsessed with giving everything headings and bullet points.
Again, the sentiment behind the post is nice but why use AI for something that’s supposed to be personal?

OP is a non-native English speaker, makes sense that they would use AI to assist and write a professional-looking article

Ah, wasn’t aware. I understand how that can be a challenge and appreciate the sentiment.
That said, it’s a little hard to read knowing it’s AI. Google Translate may have been a better route.

This article is completely translated by AI. I’m Spanish and the original article can be found at tcgcrosscollector.com 
I’ve been writing articles here since AI wasn’t even a thing, or at least something I knew about! 
First ones were translated by Google.

The Ritual is likely the most important factor for me. And this encompasses what you wrote about both the book keeping and organizing, as well as the shows and community. Stealing an hour from a busy weekend schedule to swing by a LGS or show and chat with enthusiasts is always on the back of my mind.
I also enjoy the “impossibility of it all” in terms of trying to complete a full collection. Like the common saying: journey over destination, I am motivated that one can never really get to the destination of having truly fully completed a Pokemon card collection.
