How to Recognize an AI document (as answered by Microsoft Bing Chat) (right-click will open the reference in a new tab)
Recognizing an AI document is not always easy, but there are some clues that can help you tell the difference between human- and machine-written text. Here are some tips based on the web search results I found:
- Length of sentences: AI-generated text often includes very short sentences or very long sentences that are hard to follow. Human writers tend to use a variety of sentence lengths and structures to make their text more readable and engaging1.
- Repetition of words and phrases: Another way to spot AI-generated text is by looking for repetition of words and phrases. AI models work by predicting the most likely next word in a sentence, which can lead to them using the same words or phrases over and over again. Human writers usually avoid repeating themselves and use synonyms or pronouns to refer back to previous concepts12.
- Lack of analysis: A third way to tell if an article was written by an AI is if it lacks complex analysis or reasoning. AI models can generate factual statements or opinions, but they don’t understand what they mean or how they relate to each other. Human writers usually provide some analysis or explanation for their claims, or cite sources to support them12.
- Inconsistency or contradiction: A fourth way to detect AI-generated text is by looking for inconsistency or contradiction in the text. AI models can switch topics or perspectives without warning, or say things that contradict each other or the facts. Human writers usually maintain a consistent tone and point of view, and check their facts for accuracy2.
- Use of tools: A fifth way to recognize AI-generated text is by using tools that are designed to detect it. There are some online tools that can analyze the features of the text and compare it to known human- or machine-written texts, such as Scribbr’s AI Detector or GLTR. These tools can give you a score or a color-coded indication of how likely the text is to be generated by an AI3.
I hope this helps you recognize an AI document. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me.
