Sometime in 2023, a client asked me to AI-check my work before submission. That was the first. Then, the fear that AI would take our jobs was at an all-time high. So, for that reason, I wasn’t open to using AI to write because by using it, I believed I was helping AI do my job, so there wouldn’t be any for me in the future. This explains how shocked I was to see that the AI checker rated my article 50%+ AI-generated.

I couldn’t submit it like that. So, I started rewriting the entire piece. Yet, I couldn’t prove that the article was 100% human-written. However, I managed to beat down the AI generation rate to 20%.

I texted the client and informed her. She told me it was fine and opened up to me about how hard AI has made our jobs as writers. However, she told me that 20% was okay and that I could submit it.

Since they started checking for AI, our work has become more challenging. This motivated me to find out how to avoid getting flagged as AI-written.
