People are deliberately writing badly to hide that they used an LLM

Here's a wild trend: people are intentionally messing up their grammar, spacing, and punctuation to make their AI-generated content look human-written. The logic? Since everyone assumes "polished writing = ChatGPT," they figure "sloppy writing = must be real." But does it actually work? One Reddit post perfectly captures this—someone shared advice that's clearly well-thought-out, but sprinkled in random capitalization errors and spacing mistakes. It's like they're saying "see? no AI here, just a messy human like you." The irony is thick. We've created this weird arms race where people are now *worse* at writing to seem more authentic. It's spreading on LinkedIn especially, where everyone's suddenly typing like they're texting at 2am. Makes you wonder: are we actually fooling anyone, or are we just collectively deciding that "authenticity" now means "visibly flawed"? Read the full breakdown to see how absurd this has gotten.
