Why This Post Isn't Written by AI

Have you ever read something online and wondered if a robot typed it? In a world full of chatbots, those doubt creeps in fast. People worry about fake stories flooding the web, making it hard to spot real voices. But here's the truth, this piece comes straight from my own human hands.
People everywhere buzz about spotting Ai these days. They poke at every word online, hunting for robot clues. But here I am, a flesh-and-blood writer, ready to lay out my case. This piece lists the wild ways I prove my humanity. It's all absurd, yet it hits close to home.
Unfortunately, Ai has got that good now. It can fool you into thinking it's human and I have been accused of being many things, one of which is an Ai Chatbot which bless my circuits, is so far from the truth but then i would say that if i was an Ai chatbot so i asked Ai how could i prove that i was an actual human and not an Artificial Intelligence?
It said that i should show you why, through quirks and choices only a person would make and readers will see why my posts feels alive whereas Ai sounds flat, like a textbook. That's because real creativity comes from inside, not code.
I use metaphors and subtext, choosing words that nod to shared struggles, feeling it because we have been there and while machines output facts, i weave tales that echo their own experiences.
For example, last week, i fought a form online. It timed out three times. I yelled at the screen but that is a shared scene played out by many people every day and as we Humans rant together over such nonsense, it builds a trust between us, an AI wouldn't understand the emotion of any of this.
You'll sense my human hand pushing down on the keyboard, words are not repeated in odd ways, the text dances freer, with personal flair and blending ideas smoother, veering naturally with a flow and not in a formulaic way as if using words picked from a word cloud.
I know that Ai can delibrelty include sneaky flaws and personal touches to help it blend in but I don't write flawless stuff. I slip up, pause, ramble, mix up long and short sentences which whispers 'real writer at work' and dashed out by a human brain but i guess an Ai aiming to convince you it's human would toss in those same rough edges on purpose to convince you it's human through tiny, forgivable slips.
Humans are opinionated and have a bias, Ai plays it safe and does'nt show a real opinion and keep it bland, people like me not so much which are a nod towards convincing the reader that i am a human. I adore punk music. It's all energy and shouted angry lyrics and I crank it up loud. That mess proves I'm real, no smart code picks music like that for enjoyment.
Irony and Sarcasm are very much human traits and i make them my stock in trade, so you may be thinking 'Oh joy, another Lucyp post about AI' but that just proves it is me and not an Ai, i twist my words, play on them and use slang and lie and exaggerate, humans err and are messy.
Spotless text hints at code but this is how Ai fools us but as Ai sharpens, we'll have to sharpen too. Keep questioning what you read. It keeps us real.
Trust me, I'm just like you.
