I'm struggling with my writing being flagged by AI detectors because it tends to be quite formal. I have a good command of English punctuation and spelling, and I often use complex structures like semicolons and dashes. This has made it hard for me to convey my thoughts without sounding robotic. Is there a way to write more naturally without completely changing my style or reverting to overly simplistic language?

Using shorter sentences and sprinkling in some intentional minor mistakes might help. While it can be annoying to feel like you have to compromise your writing style, sometimes it’s necessary to seem more human in this AI-dominated world!
It seems like AI detectors are tricky, often flagging good writing because of its perfect structure. To avoid sounding too much like an AI, try mixing up your sentence lengths. Incorporating a few shorter, more casual sentences can help. Also, don’t hesitate to use conversational language when it suits your writing. Remember, a few imperfections might actually make your writing feel more human and natural!
Yeah, maybe. Thanks for the advice!
Remember that in many countries, you have the right to request a manual review if you're flagged by AI. At that point, you can ask for evidence that you used AI. Most of the time, they won’t have any concrete proof, just your writing samples. You can argue against it successfully, especially if you remain calm instead of getting frustrated. That really helps when you're trying to clear your name!
If you're running into flags, consider talking to your teachers or school about how to prove your work isn’t AI-generated. Sharing your Google Doc with version history might be enough. Just keep in mind that many detectors aren’t very reliable and often state that they shouldn't be used for assessing academic integrity.
People don’t really care about the disclaimers since ‘AI can never be wrong’ or whatever. I’ll discuss it, will likely have to since I’m in trouble for ‘use of AI tools’ now, thanks.
I mean sure but like it annoys me, what kind of world do we live in where I have to deliberately write like an idiot?
