Does This Sound Like AI? is a clear, evidence-based field guide to recognising AI-default writing and keeping an identifiable human voice on the page.It looks beyond the usual lists of suspicious words to examine the patterns readers are beginning to recognise in AI-assisted writing: the sentence constructions, tidy arguments, generic examples, over-explanation, emotional smoothing and polished competence that can gradually make very different writers sound surprisingly alike.Don't forget the perfectly balanced paragraph, the unnecessary conclusion, the three neat examples, and the character whose jaw tightens just before their breath catches.And, of course, delve.But no single word, phrase or punctuation mark proves that AI wrote something. Human beings were using all of them long before ChatGPT arrived.Drawing on published research as well as practical examples from emails, blogs, LinkedIn posts, marketing, non-fiction and fiction, Norah Deay explores what AI-default writing looks like, why it happens and why trying to disguise it with a few swapped words misses the point completely.This book also tackles the harder questions. What happens when AI edits the human out of a good piece of writing? Can perfectly human prose now be falsely suspected because it contains an AI-associated pattern? Why are writers beginning to avoid words they once used naturally? And if competent writing can now be generated in seconds, what becomes valuable instead?The answer is not deliberate mistakes, forced quirkiness or pretending AI does not exist. It is judgement, individuality and a recognisable human mind behind the work.Whether you use AI to write, edit or brainstorm, or you commission and assess other people's writing, Does This Sound Like AI? will help you recognise the patterns worth questioning without turning language into a blacklist.Because the scarce commodity is no longer words.It's a recognisable human mind behind them.
