Author here. I did not use AI to write this essay. I write in apple notes and then move to an old app I use called Hemingway that I've used for years.

I've gotten this a lot on the 3 essays I have up, so I avoided Hemingway entirely on the latest one I posted today https://www.terrygodier.com/body-language - I left it significantly more wordy and less edited. I hope someday these sort of comments will ease up a little bit, it's quite disheartening, even if I understand the suspicion and where it's coming from. There is something interesting there, in the way that AI has caused me to alter the way I write to avoid being labeled as AI.

Also, here is a literal blog post that I also wrote without AI about someone using AI to copy my app, which has my entire AI philosophy in it: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/03/22/on-ai-and-prior-art....

AI was trained on their texts, the RLHF slaves thumbs-upped their style of writing, what can you do. It's not his fault ⸻ it's AI's.

Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't. It's your word vs. theirs.

But one thing that is undeniable is that your article reads very much like AI-generated text. While reading it, I couldn't help thinking how ironic it is to write about the virtues of simpler devices using something that is obviously an AI-generated article.

The Pangram report doesn't help your case either: https://www.pangram.com/history/f733dac6-a23f-480e-b18a-6794... (100% AI Generated)
