Today, a journal article I'd written was identified as an "AI-written" article, even though I've never used any AI tools. FML

Yeah, right, robot. Not falling for it.

According to an article I read in The NY Times - That’s not the first or only time that has happened… If you need to prove your authorship you might show whoever accused you your notes or early version of the article. I think it’s possible in Microsoft Word for example to go back multiple revisions (it actually keeps track of all the revisions even when it’s not showing them). Obviously if you have multiple revisions prior to submission then it wasn’t AI written… The real problem is that there are lazy people who will use someone else’s or AI’s work and claim it as their own. So people try to check that it’s not a plagiarized version or AI written. But AI learns from what people have written and put on the web and sometimes the styles are very similar.

It was probably flagged by an AI bot. Go figure.

That's an awkward way to find out you're a replicant.
