Ways to Spot if a Text Is from ChatGPT

If you suspect AI, try asking something super recent or current events and see if the reply feels outdated or generic.

You can also try asking about very personal stuff, like what they had for breakfast yesterday.

You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that help spot AI generated content, they have some neat stuff!

A lot of times, if the response suddenly gets too long or too perfect, it's a sign it might be AI.

I use the Turing test style approach: if it doesn’t sound like a human, probably isn’t one!

Sometimes the text feels like it’s avoiding specifics or being kinda vague to cover all bases.

I usually look for overly formal language or stuff that seems kinda too perfect, ya know? Like, no typos but also kinda robotic.

Another thing is to notice if the answer is super fast and well structured but kinda shallow on specifics.

Sometimes the wording feels repetitive in a weird way, like the same phrase keeps popping up.

I've seen AIs mess up on idioms or cultural references, which might give them away.

I think the biggest hint is when the text feels kinda neutral, like it's trying not to offend anyone or take a side.

I sometimes check the consistency of style. AI can switch tone abruptly or keep it strangely uniform.

Sometimes the response is too neutral and polite even when the topic is controversial, feels weird.

You can sometimes tell by the lack of humor or jokes that land badly. AIs just don't get sarcasm well.

If the text avoids slang or informal language altogether, it might be AI trying to be neutral.

I’ve noticed AI texts often lack typos but miss out on natural grammatical quirks humans have.

I read somewhere that AI generated text has certain statistical patterns you can spot with some tools.

I noticed AI doesn’t handle contradictions well. If you push on inconsistencies, they usually trip up.

Sometimes I just ask directly if the text was made by AI. Surprisingly, some bots will admit it!

Sometimes the text feels like it’s trying to cover every angle but ends up not saying much at all.

I find comparing the text style to known writing samples of the person helps a lot too.

Sometimes the text will repeat phrases or ideas in a weird way, like it’s stuck in a loop. That’s a clue for me.

The way AI handles ambiguous questions is different, they either guess or deflect oddly.

Sometimes AI just can’t keep up with really complex or technical questions and gives odd answers.

One trick I use is to ask follow-up questions that require personal experience. AI usually struggles with that.

The lack of real emotions or personal stories is usually a dead giveaway for me.
