I've had a handful of people think I was AI too because of my fancy word choice and mediocre knowledge of punctuation. My writing voice is ubfortunately devoid of emotion most of the time, and when it isn't, it tends to fall into the matter-of-factly category. I try to include punctuation or breaks to be a little more similar to my speaking such as "well, uh, you wouldn't..." or "I- Yeah, I don't know." I think my personal favourite I do do is "I think it was.. two..? weeks ago?"
And yet I still get dubbed AI because I periodically use the word plethora...
it damn well bloody helps to include a fucking shitload of swearing, e-fucking-specially if it's a mite creative too.
