I’ve seen people use that phrase long before AI.

Is this the new thing that’s going to happen now? People use phrases that have been around forever and people accuse them of using AI?

I’m glad I’m not going to college in this environment. How unfortunate and demoralizing it would be if I wrote an essay by myself in a college class and the professor thought I was using AI.

I haven’t been to college in a while. That was long before AI. I do have access to some of my old essays. Based on their tone and some of the wording I was using, I don’t doubt that some people would accuse them of being AI written were it not for the fact I wrote them many years ago.

Will college students now deliberately try to avoid certain common phrases out of paranoia of being accused of this?

What's happening (in the most part) is that because people used that phrase long before AI, that its in the AI training set and being slopped back out at us.

its about overuse of rhetoric in a dilutive way.

sitting with something is for way more personal or emotionally intense shock than one ceo saying other ceos are lying sacks of shit about layoffs, albeit in ceo speak.

a republican party die hard from like the 70s or earlier would be so shocked and disgusted by the modern incarnation that would literally need to sit down for a while just to emotionally process their shock and disgust.

shitty ceos not owning their fuckups, not shocking
