Because "Yeah, fair pushback" is AI smell. Either everything this person does is passed through an AI from code to blogs to even their HN comments and submissions; or they use AI so much they're starting to talk like it colloquially. Either way no one has time for that.

"Yeah, fair pushback"

Really hard to tell. Because that used to be a common phrase that real people would use.

So now I have to change my own language in order to not appear like I'm an AI? We are getting in a weird place where Humans have to act/sound increasingly 'odd', to appear not 'perfect' like an AI.

It's really not hard to tell. It's the "How do you do fellow kids" of AI-isms. The presence of "fair pushback" and a single em dash reads as 99% AI generated as far as I am concerned.

Yes, if you don't want to sound like you're cargo culting AI, you do have to change the way you talk because people aren't going to care otherwise. At the very least just because it's boring. That's always been the nature of slang and lingo.

		"not hard to tell" Or, with all of the AI slop, you think you are detecting all AI. And don't realize the stuff that is AI and not noticed. There is a wide variety of tools now, with different degrees of output quality. https://ifunny.co/picture/it-s-been-forever-it-s-been-foreve...
