TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:

  • Use of the em-dash (—)
  • Parallel sentence structure (e.g. “It’s not just X, it’s Y”)
  • Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
  • Delineating line breaks with emojis
  • Odd/unnatural verbiage
  • Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
  • Exaggerated and empty praise
  • Weird analogies and similes
  • Restating and overclarifying points

TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:

  • Including anecdotes
  • Written in the first person
  • Tangents and nonlinear storytelling

      Not really. Spell check would only correct typos and grammar. It’s still your style, your thoughts, your expression with the language.

      If you’re putting your whole essay into a AI tool, yeah… It’s going to turn it into garbage with the list above. And that’s on you.

        AI is stupid and often does more than told, even if the text is short.

        And replacing the hyphen would not be replaced
