Learn How to Spot AI Writing in ANY TEXT! transcript

So, in this video, I'll teach you how to instantly recognize AI writing. After watching this video, you'll be able to recognize AI writing within seconds in academic articles, scientific articles, uh advertisements for sales properties, and social media posts, and even surprisingly, many social media comments. I'll show you plenty of examples that I pulled from online sources. I explain how it works. I'll point to these different structures.

Then, we'll do a little exercise at the end. Then I'll show you exactly uh which structures are present in which posts and we'll go much deeper than just m dashes. Uh I'll first talk about stock language, what I call stock language, so very general categorization. But then we'll go into detail of things such as modular sentences, overuse of narrative hooks, excessive suspense building, capitalizing dramatic concepts.

Then at the end, most importantly, minimalist triplet phrasing and reversal structures, reversal uh sentences. As I said, once you see it, you will not be able to unsee it. You will be shocked how common AI writing is everywhere around you and you'll be able to uh spot it instantly. But first, before we start, I just wanted to ask you to like this video. Uh subscribe to this channel if you haven't already. It really helps others find this content and it helps me reach my goal of developing this channel to 100,000 subscribers.

Thank you. So, first before we start, I want you to look at the following examples. So I want you to look and I want you to pause because I won't at this point be going through every single example. We will come back to it later. But just have a look at these posts. There is a whole variety of these posts. I can assure you that all of them are strongly uh indicative of AI writing. So just have a look. There's whole bunch of things about uh scientific interesting science news.

There are things about uh geographical wonders, the wonders of of nature. There are things about astrology and astronomy. There are things about business. There are things about recent events that we're all familiar with. Then there are some heartwarming stories about our pets, about our uh dogs. There is history. There are advertisements for different uh kinds of businesses. Uh there are comments like I said there are different comments that I found online. uh some more science even announcements for for technological advancements or new tools as well as advertisements for property.

So as I said just have a look at these uh images and think about first think about what is it that you think indicates AI writing in these uh in these images. Of course you can probably you could probably see plenty of m dashes and things like that. Perhaps you had a general feeling that some of them felt very artificial, but you couldn't really explain what it was about them that felt artificial. So now let's just go into into more detail.

So the reason that you probably saw it and you felt like it was AI written, but you was you weren't sure why it was AI written is is the first thing, a broad umbrella term that I like to refer to as stock language. Stock language. So just like stock images, something that's uh pre-fabricated and very generic. And that's the main characteristic of a written content. of course this talk language we keep seeing the same expressions the same uh constructs the same words over and over again if you're really into uh this kind of thing if you're really using AI a lot or maybe you're thinking you're reading about AI like like I do uh chances are you've probably seen all these expressions so many times like the fabric of space for example and and fictional and fiction writing uh by AI or many other many many other similar examples so so some examples of uh such stock language and then we'll dive deeper into each of these example into each of these structures.

But first let's just look at what it generally uh tends to contain. So things like he didn't just do X, he did Y. So quite dramatic uh structure or nobody expected what happened next but what happened next was this. And then it wasn't just X, it was Y. Again, this is something that we'll talk about uh at the end. So this is a a reversal structure and very commonly just light, no fuel, no emissions. So triplet phrasing.

That's something we'll also look at in this video. Not to mention metaphors like even in death uh his echo is airborne. So uh just big over-the-top metaphors and generally dramatic expressions showing the scale of something such as the kiss that broke the timeline. So all of that is is stock language. Like I said, things that are pre-fabricated, they are very common and the the these models are being trained using this sort of language.

So they they end up uh overusing this sort of language. So now let's go into detail of each of these common structures. And after we do we'll look at different examples and I'll I'll show you how it happens in practice. But the first thing are modular sentences. So modular sentences are basically sentences that are kind of disconnected. Sentences that are disconnected, they're like puzzle. they they can be moved around and the the meaning of the whole does not really change.

Sometimes it involves the triplet phrasing which we'll talk about separately. Uh so three things being listed one after another short dramatic things but it's it's a it's a separate thing but these also can be of course of course shuffled around but it's more than this. The whole sentences and the whole paragraphs usually can be shuffled around. It's not just about the social media post that I'll show you because it will be very very clear on these posts that this can be done but importantly an academic writing and I constantly work on academic uh academic writing academic uh assignments articles that people uh send me and I constantly see that the whole feels kind of disjointed and disconnected.

So you're reading it kind of makes sense but you're actually something is off. Something is off. You feel like it's almost like repetition but it's not. And this is also usually the indication of modular sentences because it just means that there is no narrative flow. The whole thing the whole argument is not flowing naturally. It's kind of it almost feels like just listing different concepts except that at the level of paragraphs.

So these sentences rarely rely on the previous sentence to build uh to to present their argument. There is very little connection, very little uh use of connectors between the sentences such as which, while, because so very little connection and each sentences, each sentence is basically a complete sentence in its own right. But before we move on, just look at these sentences uh take taken from some of the examples I prepared.

So for example, this one about solar train post. It helps power a better future. A train in Germany now runs entirely in solar energy. No emissions, no fuel, just light. Apart from all the drama used in this uh this example, we'll come back to this shortly. Just look at uh an alternative order of these these sentences. A train in Germany now runs entirely on solar energy. It helps power a better future. No emissions, no fuel, just light.

It's possible to to turn to shuffle these things around. And this one definitely a businessman takes risks for profit and entrepreneur takes risks for purpose. One builds a company, the other builds a future. You can say one builds a company, the other builds a future. An entrepreneur takes risk for purpose. A businessman takes risk for profit. So again, you can easily do that. These are small examples, but you can and you'll see that you can do this to whole paragraphs and whole sentences.

So modular sentences. Before we continue, don't forget to look at my website and different services that I offer which aim to help you plan and conduct your research study. Apart from one-toone tutorials and data analysis services, I also offer an AI humanizing service. So if you have any text that you wrote using AI or AI supported you in writing that text, it's likely to get flagged by Turn It In. I have a service where I offer a deep editing of that text which not only reduces uh the AI flagged content but also increases the quality of your writing.

So I'm making sure that it's of high academic standard. It's a deep editing service and I guarantee the highest possible standard of academic writing as the final output. But now let's get back to the topic of this video. So the second thing that we often see in AI writing is the overuse of narrative hooks. What is a narrative hook? Basically it's a very common AI structure which is there is a hook, there is a twist, there is some dramatic stakes and then there is the final reflection.

So it often starts with a quote or reaction or observation that feels pretty dramatic. Then it goes on to the unexpected twist and then there is something shocking happening at the end. So of course it's based again on internet content on clickbaits and it's meant to draw your attention instantly. So you can see this structure for example in the Coldplay post which starts by she smiled like it was all hers. Alyssa Stoddard was supposed to be the witness but her viral reaction at the Coldplay concert unleashed the most shocking backlash in corporate memory.

So there is so much drama in this in this particular post but we'll also unpack some other devices some other tools used in this particular post because there are plenty in this one. So some uh some very common phrases of these uh these dramatic hooks are things like no one expected what happened next. So you want to know what happened next but then she did something no one saw coming. The whole internet was watching.

That's when everything changed. So things that are building that that drama and building that um engagement and and drawing your attention to to this post and this basically merges with the next one. So suspense building it's basically a very similar thing and all of them go uh together. All of these devices are used as you'll see in the examples that I'll show you together but especially the this dramatic hook and generally the overuse of that uh suspense structure.

Then another one uh also short one and also related uh to these ones is uh capitalizing dramatic concepts. So just use using of uh capital letters to indicate that something's big or dramatic. In general AI likes to use capital letters. You probably know that but but it also likes to assign these capital letters capitalize these these concepts that are supposed to be dramatic. So the witness, the cheating couple, corporate memory, the edge of the world, all of these things are used in the posts and the in the screenshots that I uh that I pulled from these these online posts.

So the final two now are what I believe to be the most common thing in AI writing. Whenever I see that, I'm 90% sure already that is AI writing. So the first one is uh minimalist triplet phrasing. So it's basically a phrasing that u presents three short simple elements in a in quite a rhythmic pattern as well and it's used to emphasize or clarify something or develop some sort of again dramatic effect or emotional uh emotional impact.

This happens everywhere. It's not just uh so the first form of this, the more let's say dramatic form of this is when they are separated by a full stop. You'll see that in a second. There's plenty of that in the in the post that I prepared. So this is pretty dramatic. But what also happens is is that it also likes to generally list things in threes and this is extremely popular. So of course you won't see all that dramatic uh stuff in academic writing as if you ask Chad GBD or some other device to to make it academic.

It will it will not make it too dramatic. However, it can't help itself. It will still list uh things in threes. Whether they are uh the effect of something, whether they are the outcome, whether they are uh some sort of a practice or strategy employed by you know clinical nurse, it doesn't matter. It loves listing things in threes. So, one of the the first things that you you should do or you want to do if you're trying to humanize that context manually, that content content, you should break these into a different structure.

So, into pairs sometimes, break it into different sentences. But if it goes in threes, then it's also being flagged easily by AI detectors. We'll go back to that shortly. And now the final one and this one is probably the most uh used structural is uh reversal structure reversal sentences. So basically sentences that state what something isn't and then flip to what it was even without asking. We don't do that normally we don't do that.

Sometimes, very occasionally, rarely, uh this structure can be used and and has been used probably by authors and writers. But uh in general, by default, we don't do that if not asked. But AI loves to tell us what something isn't before or after telling us what something is. So these are the most common structures. You'll see that they all go together. they quite often overlap and there is usually an AI written post includes a whole bunch of them not just one of these structures.

So let's just quickly look at some of these posts again and I'll explain just the first things that come to mind when I see them. So I made some notes before I recorded the video but firstly just so you understand the whole post uh definitely feels 100% feels like AI. It's not just these things that I selected. These things are just a quick things that I wanted to to point out. Most of these things that I selected and they are mostly selected in orange um are the the reversal structures that I just mentioned.

So so like here French bioengineers have develop artificial blood vessels that don't just carry blood they become part of you. So apart from become part of you is also pretty dramatic. I didn't underline this one. Uh so very dramatic statement in general nobody asks what they are not but they are telling us what they are not. They don't just carry blood they are they become part of you. And then there's a triplet structure.

So no rejection, no immune response. And and the third thing that I know how to pronounce plus generally dramatic feel to it. They bend pulse and repair. And again a triplet structure. There's a lot of drama in all these poles. So silently endlessly in this one. Um and then the reversal sentence again. So it doesn't just protect the land. It quietly captures wave energy and so on and so forth. Uh also just the the wording of quietly captures is also very very uh common among AI and it feels a bit uh dramatic.

Then you can see it's efficient, silent and built to last. Again uh triplet structure there's plenty of that uh in this pose but I'm just giving you some uh some examples. So here I also selected the use of some emojis which is at this point we all know that AI loves emojis but the magic of uh so basically it's it's a post about geographical place but there is in red I selected some of the dramatic and and metaphoric metaphorical metaphoric I don't know but very very colorful language to describe things then there are triplet structures in green and some more drama so natural rock pool feels like a hidden portal to another world the most massive black hole collision ever recorded.

It's just pretty dramatic again. And it loves, like I said, it loves uh highlighting that something is extremely big and massive. And this sort of thing send violent ripples. Again, just a lot of dramatic language. And uh for somebody who's familiar with AI, I've just seen this this exact structure so many times at this point. Then in orange you have the reversal structure and also record-breaking event which is something that absolutely I absolutely love to do and it redefineses what we thought we knew about the universe.

Again a lot of drama. Here are some modular sentences. Most of these uh post that I'm showing you do contain modular structures so that I'm not commenting on every single one of them but most of them can be shuffled around. So here you can see that plus uh some triplets plus um reversal structure. what entrepreneurship is not about. Uh so now we have the concert situation and we talked about this a lot. There's plenty of capitalization.

There's plenty of everything that I discussed in this video. The most shocking backlash, a lot of drama, a lot of capitalization. Uh there is this whole uh hook, narrative hook at the beginning. She smiled like it was all hers. There are triplets raw, visible, and cornered. Uh which also sound very dramatic. reversal structures, all sorts of things. This one is screaming AI with arrows. I'm selecting whenever we can easily shuffle things around.

So, just pause it if you need to and have a look. So, whole paragraphs that can be uh shuffled around. And then you can see the final one also super dramatic. Um I don't have to explain at this point, not to mention the use of emojis. Here we have some example of very poor ChiBBT humor. And again, things I've heard millions of times at this point, stirring into my soul, things like that. So, uh, and then of course, reversal structural.

She doesn't sit, she poses. Uh, plus just dramatic use of very short punchy sentences. All sorts of things that could be shuffled around in this one. This guy I found online absolutely loves these reversal structures. And the same guy here, things can be shuffled around. There is reversal structures. There's a lot of drama. So, this one, like I said, is pretty simple and obvious here. Green arrows to indicate what can be shuffled around.

Uh, no planes, no cars, no shortcuts, triplets, triplets, and a lot of drama as well. It's it's just these are just some things that I find, but have a look and you'll find every single thing that I said in this video and these in every almost every one of these posts. Here's some business ad. You're not just customers, you're the sweetest part of my story. very sweet and dramatic and a reversal structure. Reversal structure triplets reversal structure.

The claim that she's not coming to earth is symbolic, not factual. Nobody asked what it was. Why are you saying that? Here a reveal of some tool. So it doesn't just load pages. It organizes, summarizes, and protects. So it's it's two in one. So it's a use of triplets. Again, three things. Um and the reversal structure. plenty of AI structures in this ad. You can just have a look. Uh, so triplets, reversal, and some drama.

So, this is it. It turned out to be a long video, but I hope you can use it as a good guidelines for how to spot AI and all sorts of texts. I also have several videos about how to manually humanize this sort of structure. Hopefully, this helps you understand how AI writing works and also how to humanize it. But I do have several videos where I explain exactly how to humanize, how to turn, how to edit AI written text into something that's not uh going to be flagged by AI detectors.

And also, as I said earlier, I do offer a service where I do this uh sort of editing manually because in academic writing, these things are just as present as they are in these social media post. They are just kind of hidden more skillfully. But if you really look at academic writing done by Chajbd or any other AI tool, you'll see that it's exactly the same exactly same structures are being followed. It just they are more subtle and gentle.
