Should modern writers worry about proving their work is not generated by LLM ?

No. Nobody should worry about proving the falsehood of an accusation.

Just don't use LLMs. Avoid tools like Grammarly that may suggest style changes to your writing that flatten it down to slop that looks like LLM output (technically it is). Have confidence to write authentically as yourself. Then if a publisher wants a statement that you didn't use AI, you can give one truthfully.

They're on high alert, having reason to believe a serial fraudster, terrorist, rapist and child molester will be in the area, and they're only used to dealing with one of those things at a time.

What was the hardest writerly lesson for you to learn? Or unlearn?

The one I haven't learned (or unlearned) yet. Whatever it is. Maybe it's not even that hard, but nobody has pointed it out yet.

I will mention one I'm *resistant* to learning: that everything non-essential should be stripped out. It presumes I can know what's essential on behalf of all possible readers present and future. I can't know that, sorry,
