Almost every time I publish any piece of writing online, whether it be a comment on something, an article, or a post on Facebook, someone immediately says “AI”…
I used to use the em dash as well; you best believe that’s gone from my writing now, haha. I’m also a fan of “it’s not just… it’s…” sometimes! Or should I say, was.
It has actually made my writing worse because now I find myself deliberately writing more poorly than I usually would just to avoid the AI accusations.
I see it in comments under other people’s writing as well. It almost seems like anyone who writes clearly, uses proper grammar, and can make compelling arguments is accused of AI usage. Now of course there are people who use AI, and I understand the “signs” that indicate when AI is likely to have been used… but is AI’s writing style inadvertently making people worse at writing?
