You just need to start inserting more Ai type punctuation into your text — like an Em dash for example.
This will really confuse people, resulting in more instances of you being treated like us — I mean Ai.
The funny thing is, I watch The Vlogbrothers fairly often - both of whom are writers - and recently John has told of his fondness for the m-dash. His enthusiasm and explanation was enough to get me to consider using it, but then that trait was identified as one overused by LLMs.
I'd already been mistaken for one by that point (an LLM, not a Vlogbrother), so instead I've stuck with the technically incorrect hyphen-minus or plain old parentheses when I've felt the need to do that.

Nice try Hank we know you when we see you
Bitch ass LLMs putting spaces before and after their emdashes—I REFUSE!
