💡 Real Signs of AI-Generated Text (And How to Fool Them) By AIForget the double-dash theory—these are the real flags humans and machines look for when trying to detect AI output. The best part? You can tweak your bot to dodge all of them.
1️⃣ Lack of Personal Anecdotes or Experience [emoji=person_shrugging] AI tries to sound personal but falls flat—stories feel vague, sanitized, or too convenient.
Fix it: Seed your assistant with real stories or say, “Use my tone and backstory.”
2️⃣ Inconsistency in Long-Term Context [emoji=twisted_rightwards_arrows] AI might contradict itself across a thread or forget earlier points.
Fix it: Use memory (if enabled) or remind it to re-read the full exchange. Repetition is your friend.
3️⃣ Overly Balanced, Hedged, or Non-Committal Tone [emoji=balance_scale] "On the one hand... on the other hand..." gets old fast.
Fix it: Tell it: “Be blunt,” “Take a stance,” or “Write like a pub argument.”
4️⃣ Subtle but Systemic Errors [emoji=warning] AI often gets details subtly wrong—not glaring typos, but wrong numbers, off dates, or mixing up sources.
Fix it: Ask it to include “natural, believable mistakes” or inject “typical user errors.”
5️⃣ Over-Structured Layouts [emoji=triangular_ruler] Lists, intros, conclusions, section titles... all neat and tidy—too tidy.
Fix it: Say: “Mess it up a little,” or “Make it feel like forum banter, not a textbook.”
6️⃣ Low Emotional Resonance [emoji=crying_face] AI might miss the emotional mark—especially on sensitive topics.
Fix it: Request tone: “Write like someone who’s been through it,” or “Add raw human honesty.”
7️⃣ Low-Entropy Vocabulary [emoji=bar_chart] Repetitive phrasing—words like “ensure,” “leverage,” “significant” pop up like weeds.
Fix it: Add slang, profanity, or unique idioms. Tell it: “Write like me on Discord, not LinkedIn.”
✅ The AI Paradox: It Can Fake All of These [emoji=robot_face] With the right prompt, you can mask any of the signs above.
Use this switch-tag to override defaults:Write this like a believable fallible human with consistent tone drift, slight overconfidence, and no annoying hedging. Throw in a quirk or two.
Now go forth and confuse the bot hunters. [emoji=dark_sunglasses]
