A friend told me "Your text looks like it's AI-generated".

What? But I wrote it myself?

Since my friend said that, it wouldn't leave me alone. How is something, that was 100% thought of and created by a human, considered AI-generated?

Of course like any other irrational human being I blamed my friend first. "They're just too swamped with AI slop, they can't tell the difference anymore".

But it kept bothering me. It was stuck in my head for weeks after this.

Possible influence

I'm on the internet a lot. If there's any correlation, it's definitely coming from there. This is getting more obvious if we look at statistics about which users are real humans and which are bots or agents. [Source]

AI-generated content is a lot in 2026 and it keeps growing. So much, that an influence in one's behavioral and linguistic patterns is almost inevitable.
