I want to point this out as a problem that may have very serious consequences: https://www.reddit.com/r/freelanceWriters/comments/14dzwwq/comment/joxvx2w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Example: My 12-year-old kid wrote a story for the annual school publication. She asked me to edit it. I know her writing and also know that she wrote it without AI. I edited it. I also spell and grammar checked it using google docs. Her advisor ran it through an AI checker and asked her if she had used

AI to write it because the AI/plagarism tool had flagged it. She came to me for advice and my advice to her was to be honest about the process she used. She was and it was published - but this could have gone a very different way.

Apparently, if we write well and have our errors corrected, most detectors will flag it. I ran some of my own writing through a couple of detectors and they came back with 70-90% certainty that it had been written by an AI.

A few older pieces came back with 100% certainty that it had been human written - so I guess I've gotten better at writing - or maybe I'm an AI now.

I also wonder - since I have so much of my personal writing online (decades worth on many platforms and my own blogs) if my writing has been used (almost 100% certain of this) to train the various LLMs which would presumably make my writing style seem to be 100% AI generated.

I've already started phasing out common AI words from things I write - things like tapestry, realm, etc - and funny enough, I used to use those words in my writing. Now I try not to.
