How about your reply here? Was that AI-generated? If not, are you conscious of how much you're starting to sound like AI? Is that something you see as a positive thing, or something you'd like to avoid?

I actually find this somewhat interesting, because it seems that a lot of people who weren't comfortable with expressing themselves verbally are feeling more empowered in that area. We're hearing new voices for the first time, albeit heavily-filtered ones, and I have to believe that's a good thing.

But part of me still finds it offputting for some reason. It's interesting to think about whether that's more of a "you" problem, or more of a "me" problem.

Interestingly I haven’t had such a challenge in the past but regularly am accused of being AI. In my case I think it’s because I have experience writing philosophy papers which trend towards a more stilted tone. For this response I’m also probably exaggerating it a tad.

A lot of it is that good argumentative/persuasive writing follows the structures that AI writing follow. Groups of three, not only x but y, etc. It’s all stuff that’s considered a best practice. It used to be comments structured like that meant you were writing overly formally now it’s so common people see it as LLM output.

Oh as for how I feel about this… couldn’t care less if people think I’m AI or not. Im not in it for the karma, I don’t care if people think I use AI even as someone who’s anti AI.

Or maybe it's you who sees agents everywhere... could it be?

It's an interesting idea. Tools like Grammarly exist to help with business communication. I wonder if there's a space for a Social Media or online writing assistant to help people. I for one could probably benefit from a tone shift away from acerbic troll.
