It was in 1964 that Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, asked to define obscenity for the purposes of law, wrote his famous heuristic: “I know it when I see it.” But when it comes to AI-generated content, we may think we know it when we see it — but our methods are far from perfect. We’ve each assembled our own set of tells to look out for: too much “delving” and “fostering,” absolute phrases, negative parallelism, or just too many em-dashes. But nothing is foolproof.
