I wrote a personal story, then used autocomplete to polish sentences. Now it’s flagged as AI. That feels ridiculous.

Polishing can remove informal quirks that signal human writing—like uneven sentence length, small imperfections, and personal voice. Autocomplete often standardizes tone, which detectors interpret as AI-style consistency.

This is why using AI scores to judge honesty is risky. People are being punished for writing well or editing properly, even when the content is genuinely theirs.
