Lol. I use hedging terms constantly, because I'm autistic and precision in language matters to me. 99% certainty is still enough uncertainty to justify a "likely." I'm not planning to change that even if more and more people think my writing is AI.
I do the same but I've started to add casual language to it to make it seem less AI. E.g. Rather than "likely" I'll say "pretty likely" or "I've heard" or something else that doesn't seem very AI but still conveys slight uncertainty.
I cycle through phrases just because language variety also matters. I'm fighting myself not to edit a recent comment because I used "still" twice in one sentence. Lol.
Just drop a few casual shitweasels and I think you're good
