genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like

Those readers (who, in my observations, have always been readers and not other writers) have learned a tiny checklist of surface features and now feel deputized to “spot AI,” but they’re often reading for “gotcha” signals rather than reading for prose. That’s a very different skill, and they don’t have it. Noticing an em dash isn’t the same as understanding non-essential clauses. Noticing a sentence fragment isn’t the same thing as understanding why a fragment lands. A hammer can see nails all day long, but that doesn’t make it an architect.

tl;dr the AI Witchfinders need to read more books above the 6th grade level before they start pointing fingers at experienced writers.

adulthood notes:

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

The Cool Binder Rule: by wearing clothes and accessories that are to your taste instead of trying to blend in, people will be more likely to compliment you and show interest in you as a person.
