As an editor, it's actually been really disquieting to see people decide that polished writing and grammar are "AI tells." I saw a whole discussion about how humans don't actually use em dashes because "no one knows how to type them" (alt+0151).

The thing is, short of consulting the metadata, there's really no way to tell what's gen-AI and what's not. Trying to 'sniff out' gen-AI like this is problematic at best; at worst, it does harm to writers 🧵👇 [1/10]

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

I tried writing and posting my first fic this year and that's already a lot 🫰
What's something NEW that you tried in a fic this year?
