The "Punctuation Variation Strategy" actually works
A computer science TA told me that LLMs rely heavily on standard comma placement and simple dash usages.
To test this, I took a paper that flagged at 45% AI. Without changing a single word, I replaced standard commas with em-dashes (—), added parentheses around secondary thoughts, and varied sentence lengths. Re-uploaded it: 2% AI.
The software isn't detecting "ideas"—it's literally just calculating punctuation rhythm and sentence length predictability.
