  I know someone in college that writes very well and has to dumb it down a bit so it doesn’t get flagged as AI by some stupid scanner they use.

  So yeah…

    Yeah… We can’t even use hyphens anymore since they can get your paper flagged as AI. We’re literally having to dumb down our writing

  Those that use AI stopped writing, and those that don’t have felt the need to change certain things about how they write to avoid looking like AI.

  The article even makes that claim comparing answers from those who only used an LLM, those who used it to help, and those who avoided using one.

    Also the study would need to have a control which is impossible because every system that used to track commonality and changes in human writing no longer works due to polluted datasets. For all the researchers know, the changes were organic and AI had no effect what-so-ever. Also, it doesn’t really matter if there were or were not changes, we can assume every major socioeconomic event caused changes, it’s basically saying “humans react to stimulus.”
