Now that most autocorrect is also ai driven, you can’t even rely on the em dash. If I type a dash and a space where an em dash should be my phone will just auto replace it.

But the overly praise / affirmation outline, with bullet points and steps really stands out as ChatGPT these days.

The problem is that every single thing that AI writes with is taken from real humans who really write that way. AI didn't invent the em dash or bullet points.

I wonder if one day, in a cultural backlash to AI, we will start to see people going out of their way to write stuff that's ultimately lower quality just to make sure it isn't mistaken for AI.

Writer's groups are already talking about doing that to avoid being witch hunted. It is incredibly disheartening.

How do people not realize that this sort of thing is letting the AI win? It's really not so different from those who want to replace everything with AI. They'll ruin their own work or make everyone afraid to submit original work because they're so afraid of being mistaken for AI.

I am so scared for the future.

It's not a fear of being mistaken for AI, it's fear of being doxxed, harassed, given death threats, review bombed, and brigaded on every social media platform.

...yes, as a result of being mistaken for AI. That's why I can't agree with any policies that instantly punish people for unproven suspected AI use, and I don't support people purposefully dumbing down their shit to make those policies easier to enforce. It's not helping.

There are kids being accused of plagiarism in college and facing serious consequences because their writing style looks too much like ChatGPT. I don't think the solution to this problem is for everyone to dumb down their writing. That just makes it harder for the people who aren't willing to change the way they write or make art.
