What a turnaround for typos and grammatical mistakes. After years of being irritants, they are now quaint and charming evidence that the text was written by a human being.

That really sucks for those of us who have always been fastidious about writing in grammatically correct, properly spelled, well-structured English. Now we're going to get lumped in with the AI bots.
I speak pretty formally and use broad vocabulary in the classroom, and have been told on a couple occasions by students that I sound like an AI or a bot.
That's really depressing. It's like in the America depicted in the movie Idiocracy where people who are well educated are targets of derision. We've been heading there for years, but this AI shit is acting as an accelerant.
This is already happening. I took a part-time job to see what goes in to fine-tuning AI, and was let go for this very reason. They couldn’t believe that a PhD could write error-free content without AI. Amazing.
I had an art teacher who told us - much more eloquently than I’m about to - that fingerprints on pottery were proof that it was made by an actual human and not mass-produced. Never thought I’d see the day when we had a literary version of that.
Indeed, it’s fascinating how peccancies once deemed ignominious have transmogrified into quaint vestiges of human cogitation. Typos are no longer mere blemishes but idiosyncratic imprimaturs—proof of sapient deliberation, ineffably organic and irreducibly authentic.
An exquisite paradox, is it not? Those erstwhile derided solecisms have been reconstituted as emblems of veracity in a world inundated with algorithmic exactitude

Sic transit gloria mundi.
Typos and grammar errors are human. But too many of them indicate either carelessness or intellectual limitations.
