The problem with assessing nerd writing for whether it's AI-assisted is that the AIs themselves are trained on nerd writing.

If you were talking about some essays I wrote in the early 2000s, you’d be buttering your Stetson. It’s hilarious to me that several of my blog posts from 20 years ago have been called out as AI generated lol.

I agree. I've written like this too, but these days when you see it it's more likely to be AI.

I actually think if I were writing blog posts these days I'd deliberately avoid these kinds of cliches for that reason. I'd try to write something no LLM is likely to spit out, even if it ends up weird.
