I routinely use "load bearing" in conversations and writing, both seriously and ironically (like a "load bearing just" or "load bearing paint").. maybe I should stop.
Considering that LLMs output continuously becomes more human-sounding (by design), you’d either have to continuously run what you write through various detectors and keep changing it or you must resign to inevitably be called an LLM at some point.
Simultaneously, because humans subconsciously mimic what we see, we also converge to sound more LLM-ish.
The harsh reality is that no matter what you write and how much research you put into it—especially if you try to be legible to others and not make grammatical mistakes—someone could discount all that and claim you just prompted an LLM. If they want, they can always find some magic “AI checker” that will return a high enough probability. We all know that with a good enough prompt and with round-trip validation against a checker (there are definitely products with this all built in) it will avoid the common tells, it’s just the matter of a few extra tokens.

It’s somewhat demotivating.
