How can I tell if content is written by AI?

Telling if content is written by AI usually starts with reading for patterns: repeated sentence structures, generic claims without specific numbers or examples, and a certain smoothness that avoids strong opinions or memorable specifics.

AI detection tools exist and can flag likely AI generated text, but independent testing has shown they produce both false positives and false negatives often enough that no result should be treated as certain proof. Heavily edited AI drafts, in particular, frequently slip past detection.

For most purposes, the more useful question is not whether AI wrote a first draft but whether the final piece is accurate, specific, and genuinely helpful, since that is what actually determines its value to a reader.
