    It’s not ai written. I used duck.ai to suggest ways to improve the flow of a few paragraphs after I wrote them and then rewrote the paragraphs myself further based on the suggestions. I liked the word tapestry so I kept it, but I guess using it 3 times is too much, you’re right.

    The long dashes were all me. It’s just proper grammar.

      Duck.ai is an anonymous front-end for AI LLMs, most of which are ChatGPT models.

      I would put forward that a manually tweaked version of an AI’s rendition of your original writing is, in my subjective opinion, difficult to distinguish from untweaked AI writings.

        You can easily go through my 8+ years of essays that i never used that tool on and see my writing style is consistent. Regardless, I don’t owe you anything, you’re not my boss. I can use a thesaurus or sentence structure formatters if I want.

          I did not suggest you alter your method of writing, I only gave feedback on how the end result of that particular method came off to me, which I made sure to mention was only my subjective opinion. If you prefer that style, then by all means, continue to employ it.

            I’m undecided if I want to keep using it, but it did save me a lot of time. The thing I always struggle with is I rewrite each sentence dozens of times until it feels right because of my OCD. Using that tool, I only had to rewrite the sentences 2-3 times and managed to finish the essay in a day when it usually takes me a full week at least.
