Looks like you should have instead investigated the (not very well documented) ActiveModel::Conversions class

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/3-1-stable/activemodel/lib/active_model/conversion.rb

  include ActiveModel::Conversion

  def persisted?
    false
  end

would have done the trick, same applies to Rails 4.2
