> OTOH I’ve had blog posts I wrote two decades ago vehemently called out as AI generated. AI generated style unfortunately means writing that tested positively in human A/B testing, now over represented in a style used largely by AI.

Everytime I see this claim, I ask for links to those blog posts. I have yet to get any links to the so-called "human" pattern that AI uses.

This blog of my idle musings, specifically, has been a source of call-outs. In articles from back in 2013 of all things. I also noticed that( ChatGPT?) seems to have replied to one of my latest (2023) posts, which I find odd and improbable

I get what you mean though, to me I don’t see the hallmarks of AI writing, but you will find the occasional em-dash and contrasted-constructions. I think some people see an em-dash and decide them and there that it’s AI generated, probably because they are illiterate by any reasonable measure of the term.

I used an em-dash once in 1998 so you can't call all my AI slop out as AI slop.

Checkmate.
