I know, I could've worded my comment clearer. I meant that I specifically introduce them in a way to make it obvious my text was written by me.

AI will clone your idiosyncrasies before you know it. There’s no point
No point? There certainly is a point. The point is that I don't sound like AI now. Sure, one day, some AI lab might build models so that everyone has a model that's indistinguishable from them, and at that point, this method won't work.

But saying it's not worth it is like going back in time and telling a peasant to stop harvesting their crop manually because in 10 years someone will invent the tractor. I get trust of others now, which is something that is useful now. Any benefits I accumulate don't get undone.

Unless you mean they'd target me specifically... which I find very unlikely.

I caught myself watching an AI video on youtube a few days ago where the narrator's AI voice had deliberate instances of stammering and stuttering. It's definitely simple to have these introduce idiosyncrasies just through specific prompting.
from the AI developers end that has function beyond mimickery.

humans often stutter, stammer, uh uh , uhmm, hmmm, to keep the "ball, conch, etc." in thier posession but gain time to complete a response to edge case dialogue. mimickery none the less, but functional, rather than primarily deceptive.

Why would that matter? You still have to read, understand, and respond. If something is important and specific it takes longer to prompt iterations to generate my response. It's nice for spelling and grammar correction.
