This is a list of writing and formatting conventions typical of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, with real examples taken from Wikipedia articles and drafts. Its purpose is to act as a field guide in helping detect undisclosed AI-generated content.
This is probably one of the best and most detailed descriptions on how to spot AI writing. Some of these points are well known (the EM dash, the frequent use of bold highlights), and others are very specific to wikipedia (eg. inconsistent markdown).
You’ll take the em-dash from my cold, dead hands!
Don’t fret, it’s trivial for them to run the output through something that strips the signs out.
Either people posting ai trash will have to do a tiny bit more work to evade detection (your dashes no longer ostracized) or the AI companies will just keep stripping out AI tell-tales from the output at the source, to make life easier for their customers (same effect)
Whatever happens, the slop must flow.
