Ask HN: How are you proving your writing is human made?

2•mavilia•53m ago
There's been a lot of debates in the comment sections of Reddit, HN, etc. about whether some posted material was AI generated or not. Obviously the more you use AI the easier it is to spot obvious giveaways but as time goes on it will become harder. So what systems are people using/building to prove that they made an article, picture, etc by hand?

Lately I've been thinking of recording myself writing my blog posts either as a screen recording or manually on a typewriter (latest hobby).

Hopefully others are thinking about this too although I don't know if there is a solution that isn't going to involve a fair bit of extra work.

Edit: another approach I take is I just write and don't revise much anymore. Feels like the more polished something is the more people suspect it. Although I guess you could just prompt that in too.

It’s not possible. Eventually AI writing accusations will just be background noise. It’s one of the saddest things I’ve realized about a post-AI world.

I don’t need to prove anything. First of all, if one thinks a piece of media is AI-generated they probably find them lacking in something else than just in style. AI or no AI, the content is what matters. Problem is that if in a conversation, education or say, art exhibition, you feel you have no meaningful input to share, it is very unlikely that the model you use will either. It will only answer your prompt and without your meaningful input, it will be just a bot saying platituded.

Other than that: 1) I typo a lot 2) I think I have my own voice in writing, which is recognisable 3) Likewise in art or music, even perhaps code

If your genuine human-made writing uses tyle guides that sprinkle em-dashes unnecessarily and uses forms such as ”Honestly? Blah bla blah.” the problem is not AI. Read Hemingway or Wilde or anything please.
