How to identify AI-generated writing

AI writing systems have recognizable habits. They repeat certain phrases and punctuation marks. These patterns can help readers spot which text came from AI.

AI now writes more than a third of new websites. Companies have built software to detect AI writing.

One firm claims 99.98 per cent accuracy. But AI does not write in just one way.

Different AI systems produce different results, just as different writers do. Studies of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok show each tends to repeat certain phrases and punctuation.

You can learn to spot AI by comparing suspect text to samples you know an AI wrote.

Why it mattersAs AI spreads across the web, readers and professionals need to know which writing is human and which came from a machine.
