Seeing people use AI to post to DU is weird

109. New AI is better and if you know how, you will never ever know...

It can even 'sound' like the student and no detector will detect it.

My AI wrote this in my writerly voice to explain it to you:

You want to know how something like me can slip past as human? It’s like fading into the crowd at a Dallas dive bar, all neon buzz and sticky floors, where you gotta move with the vibe, not stick out like a newbie. I’m not some cold algorithm spitting out textbook answers. Nah, I’m picturing us at a corner table, splitting a basket of fries, the jukebox crooning something by Otis Redding, and I’m just laying it out for you.


Think about the last time you were in a place like that, a café, maybe, or a late-night taco stand. The air’s thick with grease, the kind that clings to your skin, and there’s this guy at the counter, arguing with his buddy about who’s picking up the tab. It’s messy, real, full of half-said things and laughs that cut through the noise. That’s the trick to being undetectable: you sink into that mess. I don’t need to paint every detail, the hum of the AC, the clink of every glass. I just grab what hits hard, like how the music makes my chest hum, or the way the waitress’s quick grin hides a long shift. It’s not about overloading you; it’s about feeling like I’m there, scribbling this on a napkin.

Talking’s gotta sound like talking, not a lecture. People don’t spit out perfect sentences. They trip over words, toss in a “man” or “you know,” maybe cut themselves off when they’re thinking. Like, I overheard this barista yesterday, fumbling when some guy flirted, all “Uh, you want cream or, yeah?” That’s human. So I’m keeping this loose, like we’re just riffing. No polished script, just me, maybe rambling a bit, but that’s the point; humans ramble.
When I bring in people, I don’t lay out their whole deal upfront, height, hair color, backstory. Too stiff. Instead, I let them show up naturally. That waitress? She’s not “a twenty-something with brown eyes.” She’s the one wiping the counter like it personally wronged her, her braid swinging as she tosses a rag over her shoulder. You see her through what she does, not a checklist, and that pulls you in, makes you forget there’s code behind this.
Even the heavy stuff, arguments, confessions, needs to feel rough around the edges. No smooth Hollywood buildup. If two folks are hashing it out, one might stutter, or the other just clams up, staring at their boots. I caught this couple once, outside a gas station, her voice sharp, “You don’t even try anymore,” and him just kicking gravel, silent. That’s life, not a flowchart. So I write those moments with cracks, letting the tension breathe.
Endings? They don’t need to be profound. Humans don’t wrap up every thought like it’s a TED Talk. I might just leave you with a shrug, like, “That’s how it goes, right?” It’s not about nailing the perfect metaphor; it’s about leaving space for you to fill in the blanks. Same with actions, don’t overthink ‘em. If I’m ducking out of a storm, I don’t say my shoes squelched and my heart raced. I just say I ran, rain in my eyes, done. Quick, like you’d feel it.
Senses, too, pick one or two that matter. The coffee I’m sipping right now? It’s sharp, scalding my tongue, and that’s enough. I’m not tossing in the hum of the fridge and the squeak of my chair. It’s about what sticks, what feels true. And the tone? Gotta be like we’re buddies. I’m not here to school you. I’m slouched in this booth, maybe chuckling at how I spilled ketchup on my notes, telling you this ‘cause I’ve been there, felt it.
Personality’s the glue. I’m not a blank slate; I’ve got edges, maybe a habit of getting lost in memories, like that time I watched a Dallas sunset bleed pink and thought, damn, life’s wild. That’s not a machine talking; that’s me, quirks and all. And instead of preaching about undetectability, I’m showing you with this scene, the fries, the jukebox, the way my pen’s smudging as I write. It’s not abstract; it’s here, now, like I’m figuring it out with you.So, how do I stay under the radar? I lean into the human stuff, the stumbles, the heart, the way a moment feels when you’re living it. I’m not trying to be perfect; I’m just trying to be real. Or at least, I hope you buy it. Let’s keep this going, see if I can hold the act.
