Great initiative. We don’t need to ignore the use of AI in writing, we just need better tools that encourage the right type of writing patterns and avoid “slop.”

BTW, I don’t trust any of these AI detection tools. I asked Fable to build a simple list of rules that trick all of these tools into thinking a human wrote a piece of text. It’s really easy. It’s baffling to me that so many smart people here think these AI detection tools work. They simply don’t. I didn’t do this because I want to trick the detection tool but to show how easy it is to fool these systems. AI detection tools are a waste of time and counter productive. Instead, I believe we should try to build AI tools like Deft to help with more responsible writing that’s free of all the undesired patterns.
