Not sure if this is a bad thing. AI uses very professional and correct language (unless otherwise instructed) with well-structured paragraphs. If a system can't distinguish my writing from AI, it means that I'm doing a great job as humans sometimes make typos and structural/grammatical errors and AI generally excels against those.

- beej71 1y agoThe thing is, I think it's possible to outdo AI. Yes, it uses very professional and correct language, but the times I've asked it to help me improve something I've written, most of the suggestions just suck the work dry. It is ignorant of those subtleties of meaning that are so important for proper emotional impact. Human goal: be a better writer than AI. It's been trained on some good stuff, but also a lot of crap. I'd expect its output to be fairly average.
