People Are Writing Like This To Prove They Didn’t Use AI

[SkyBubble]

This is what happens when you have overreactive AI detectors.

These days, I see a trend in online writing. It’s where people intentionally write with spelling mistakes, basic grammatical errors, and weird lettering.

You can find it everywhere!

Why are they doing this? To prove they didn’t use AI to generate the text.

Here’s an example:

i am WrItiNg dis post to share this brilliant insite I just had — my original insite of course, and also not ai generated at all. you probably Didnt knew this
— A LinkedIn post from a real rocket writer

See what I’m talking about?

Also, a writer friend pointed out how some people were even promoting bad writing as their USP or proof of being “real.” Oh c’mon! Seriously?
You can’t justify poor language skills under the guise of “authenticity.” Please no!

As someone who can’t even write a WhatsApp message to a friend that way — let alone a post on a public profile — I find this trend repulsive. Because I believe in respecting the correct expressions, be it of English or any other beautiful language on this planet.

Don’t purposely be clumsy to prove you’re human​

Don’t purposely be clumsy to prove you’re human

Why not? It seems like a clever way to fight back.

I've been saying since day one the way to avoid this is to have some imperfections in your writing. It's not rocket science.

And means I'll always be safe because my writing has always been imperfect

I don't deliberately mess things up, but I do ignore some of Grammarly's suggestions, often because I don't agree with them.

Writing realistic dialogue which uses slang is not something AI generally does. Words like "Gotta, gotcha, I'm goin to...are not actual typos but will prove you real.

So, it doesn't have to be clumsy.

I don't deliberately mess things up, but I do ignore some of Grammarly's suggestions, often because I don't agree with them.

Even the editing in Word has me wondering why they're making certain suggestions. I imagine it falls under the nothing is really set up for fiction issue.

 

[KittyOfSteele]

*Raises hand* I will accept that challenge. Who else wants to write dadaist erotica?

I put it down to the writing style setting. Sometimes, Word and Grammarly disagree.

It can't work because people will just start corrupting what they get from the AI generators by introducing misspellings and shit. Hell, someone is probably already working on an AI option you can select at prompt time to make it generate distorted text so you don't have to distort it yourself. And "AI detector" implementers are certainly already working on including this in their detection.

I genuinely believe that backlash against AI content (text, music, video) will ultimately lead to a new golden age of popular absurdist art

Do you think that's what's going on here? (link to Bluesky post about text quality)

I predict something similar, though differentiating absurdism from digital hallucination might not be easy. Is that five-legged bull ironic or is it AI slop?

No, this is just scientists who should know better not knowing better and trying to cut corners and use gen AI slop instead of actually putting the work in. Or not using it at all. It's lazy and honestly makes them look foolish.

Well, it could be very well happening. A while back memes revolving surreal humor rose up among Gen Z. I wouldn't be surprised if they are the ones championing this trend. Then you have us millenials and older Gen Zs returning to analog, with some younger Gen Zs and Alphas getting curious about old tech, plus a lot of people introducing inconveniences in life. DVDs are popping back, social media is starting to be federated, old stuff like Geocities are coming back in the form of Neocities. Even in art there's tons of people going traditional instead of digital.

In my case I wrote an entire first part of a murder mystery novel in a notebook. My challenge of writing about the same thing every day I'm doing it on notepads, and I'm using the last notepad, hence I'm counting how many pens I've murdered. I also just bought two notebooks because I want to do that again, but using the opportunity to learn how to write erotic poetry with the very same subject matter as before.

Nevertheless I wouldn't mind giving a shot to make dadaist erotica. Sounds like an interesting challenge.

E: I didn't finish a sentence.

Not exactly dadaist, but I've got some notes and fragments for some magical realism smut for the 750 challenge

@StillStunned You're up. Can you do it in 2nd person?

You bitch! I'm in! Just throw some butt stuff in there and put it on Anal, right @StillStunned ?

Well now you're just talking about Chuck Tingle!

@PennyThompson! The book!

Edit: Oh, you're here already. Hand it over, please!

"Love is real" - Dr. Chuck Tingle.

 

[PennyThompson]

@PennyThompson! The book!

You reach your hand down the front of my shirt, seeking the Big Pink Book of Wanda's Kinks. While searching around in there you find an apple. A crucifix. A pipe which is not a pipe. A SURPRISE.

We truly don't talk about Chuck often enough here, and I'm not sure why!

So THAT'S where I left the portable tapas bar!

I've noticed that AI has certain tropes it LOVES. Ask any of the public AI's to write a story about a romantic triad and it will refer to the "geometry of love" or the "geometry of the relationship" and one of the characters will be the "Architect of the relationship."

 

[YmaOHyd]

There was a story published today that includes the line:

I have a 'puffy asshole, not a tiny tight "onion" sphincter like you would imagine.

And first, AI could never. Second, what kind of allium are we thinking here, folx? Yellow? Cocktail onion? Pearl? Maybe a green spring onion, or even a shallot, if we want to get kinky?
