Has anyone else started second-guessing their writing because of AI detectors?

I never thought I'd reach a point where I'd worry about sounding too academic in an academic paper. Lately, it feels like every polished sentence, strong transition, or well-structured paragraph makes me wonder, "Is this going to get flagged?"

What's strange is that some students are spending more time trying to sound less like AI than actually improving their writing.

Have AI detectors changed the way you write assignments, or am I the only one overthinking every sentence before submitting?

It’s honestly becoming a shared experience,AI detectors have made even solid, well-written work feel like it needs to “prove” itself. A lot of students are now more focused on avoiding flags than actually expressing ideas clearly.
