I'm afraid I may be mistaken for a robot and that's why I write with mistakes

Technology has brought a new fear: being accused of using AI to write texts, essays, and emails. The backlash against these chatbots leads many to write carelessly, so that no one accuses them of copying and pasting.

I'm afraid I may be mistaken for a robot and that's why I write with mistakes

People write less and less and entrust their texts to artificial intelligence. Or so it's said, although few admit it, especially if those texts have to pass as their own. Others perform some acrobatics to hide the traces of one of these programs in their writing. “I put small typos at the beginning of an email, I make letter jumps and transliterations to generate authenticity.

Now it's more important to establish the human framework than to send the perfect email,” admits Alberto Benbunan, co-founder of Rebundle (a training and consulting company in AI), who admits that these chatbots write many of his emails. Those who, for now, prefer not to interact too much with the invention are also under pressure, and for whatever reason, they have banished the long dash and are starting to write “dirty,” according to a journalist who asks to protect her identity.
