I wrote a blog post where I'd transcribed a conversation with a non-native speaker. Someone on Reddit was convinced the mangled syntax of the written-out words meant it must be AI-generated. (I'd also used some emdashes...)

I think the real problem is people being sure they can correctly identify AI (while they're actually just guessing wrong). Honestly, I do appreciate the efforts to weed out AI-generated content. Maybe someday we'll come up with more fool-proof detectors.

In the mean time, those weren't meaningful consequences for me. But one of the big newspapers ran an article about college students wrongfully accused of using AI, and then facing academic discipline for cheating.
