Phantom Obligation, the post that Gruber says brought Godier to his attention, seems pretty AI-generated: https://www.terrygodier.com/phantom-obligation

Here’s a very short list of visual essays I like: https://thenoisyroom.com/ https://www.terrygodier.com/the-last-quiet-thing This one is good but the content doesn’t speak to me like the above. Would have been nice if OP had added a writing style suggestion to the prompt. Vanilla LLM text is sad

even the plain text version’s subheading gets under my skin for some reason https://www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-internet/ascii > You chose the quiet version. No animations. No scroll effects. Just words.

Author here. I did not use AI to write this essay. I write in apple notes and then move to an old app I use called Hemingway that I've used for years. I've gotten this a lot on the 3 essays I have up, so I avoided Hemingway entirely on the latest one I posted today https://www.terrygodier.com/body-language - I left it significantly more wordy and less edited. I hope someday these sort of comments will ease up a little bit, it's quite disheartening, even if I understand the suspicion and where it's coming from. There is something interesting there, in the way that AI has caused me to alter the way I write to avoid being labeled as AI. Also, here is a literal blog post that I also wrote without AI about someone using AI to copy my app, which has my entire AI philosophy in it: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/03/22/on-ai-and-prior-art.html
