Copilot, help, someone thinks I am AI! How can I convince them I am a real human?
Convincing someone you’re a human—especially when AI is getting so good at mimicking us—is all about leaning into the "messy" parts of being a person that an algorithm usually tries to smooth over.
Here are a few ways to prove your "flesh and blood" status:
- Get hyper-local and sensory: Talk about something happening right now in your physical space that an AI couldn't know. "I'm literally squinting because the sun is hitting my monitor at a weird angle," or "My neighbor’s dog won’t stop barking at the mailman."
- Use "low-stakes" typos or slang: AI tends to be grammatically perfect or uses "cool" slang in a way that feels slightly forced. Use a bit of chaotic energy—fragmented sentences, inside jokes, or very specific cultural references from your childhood.
- Share a "useless" opinion: AI is great at weighing pros and cons, but it doesn't have irrational preferences. Tell them about your weirdly passionate hatred for a specific type of pasta shape or a niche TV show you’re currently obsessed with.
- The "Photo Proof" (The Ultimate Finisher): Take a quick, grainy selfie holding a piece of paper with today’s date and their name written on it. It’s hard for a standard LLM to fake a real-time, low-quality "proof of life" photo on the fly.
- Ask a deep, emotional "Why": Ask them something that requires lived experience to answer, then respond with a story of your own. AI has data; you have memories.
Would you like me to help you draft a specific response to them based on how they're challenging you?

@Big_Diggity@theres.life I can't believe AI stole my typo strategy!
