How AI fluency is forcing human writers to prove their authenticity

Summary

The article explores how the rise of AI-generated writing has created a paradoxical situation where human writers are now being judged for writing "too well" — too clearly, too fluently, too polished — leading to accusations that their work was produced by AI. It reflects on how the Turing Test has been inverted: instead of testing whether machines can pass as human, we now test whether humans can prove they aren't machines. The author discusses how human error, imperfection, and idiosyncrasy have become signals of authenticity in writing, and how this shift is changing our perception of good writing in the digital age.
