Just put some of my writing through one of those AI detectors, first time I've used one. My writing is 100% human😀.
I already knew that, but it's a relief hearing it (ironically) from an algorithm, what with suspicions being on the rise (rightfully so) these days.

A gorgeous image of outer space. Black, with thousands of pinpricks of white and blue stars dotting it. Huge red and dark blue nebulae glow brightly, swirling stately and uncaring.
culled with a keystroke
our tribe scattered 'cross spacetime
null void our home now

A fantasy illustration of a giant tree-woman walking through a field in the glow of a misty dawn soon to burn away. She is visibly pregnant, and her very young sproutling daughter, only the size of a man, follows not far behind her.

eject me out into the world

Photo by Nick Nice. A view of red fields, as if the picture has been color corrected and all of the trees and grass on it have been turned to stark arterial red mixed with white.
a breeze shakes the tree
its flesh and wood sway gently
soft blood petals fall

If you teared-up at the Project Hail Mary movie or felt a surge of wild joy at the launch of Artemis II, then do yourself a fever and get your hands on some science-fiction novels. It’s where the good stuff is.

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye.

Hey there. What do you mean by 'mirroring' the instrumentation?
If you mean vocals making sounds like birds etc., then that was already done before Mozart. For instance in 'Grillo' by Josquin Desprez.

A picture I took of clouds in the sky. Dark, brooding, swirling masses colliding and flowing into each other.

from colony to hive mind

A picture I took of a cherry blossom tree, blooming. Light blue sky with a close-up of a dark brown tree, with lots of pentagonal white flowers blooming, many of them with shades of pink on them. It's hopeful, beautiful, upbeat.
code falls like water
pooling into hopes and dreams
minds unfold, blooming
