How to spot AI-generated text : Unlike human writing, [text generated by artificial intelligence] is often uniform and factual. Look for text that doesn’t include personal opinions, like a dry "robotic" or matter of fact tone and emotionless format writing. 3, record 1, English, - artificial%20intelligence%20generated%20text
