When Jared Hewitt’s co-worker claimed last winter that Hewitt used AI to write an incident report for the day care they work at. The co-worker pointed to the words ‘juxtaposition’ and ‘circumstantial’ as evidence of a machine-generated influence. “I don’t write in a casual way but a much more serious, precise way,” he says. “And I’ve paid the price for living in a ChatGPT society.” It wasn’t the first time Hewitt’s prose has been pegged as AI, and he thinks he knows why. He has a stutter, and when he’s typing, he can speak uninterrupted. It is a luxury he takes full advantage of.

The effect is that everyone is trying to figure out who is LLM and who is human. Sometimes, we are getting it wrong. “People are going off vibes,” says the historical novelist Kerry Chaput, who was horrified when a reader thought a social-media post she wrote about her neurogenic cough was ChatGPT generated.
