Stop Trying to Beat AI Detectors and Find Your Voice Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stanford researchers ran 91 human-written essays by real students through seven AI detectors. The detectors flagged 61% of them as machine-written. (Liang et al., 2023)Not 6.1%.

The Substack Notes algorithm changed.From late 2024 through mid-2025, Notes was a growth bonanza. Some creators were adding thousands of subscribers per month. A single viral Note could bring in 50–100 new subscribers overnight.Then it stopped. Growth rates dropped 50–75% for many writers.
