My favorite tell is when a write-up starts with a verbose explanation of given knowledge on a subject. Yes, we all know what ‘World Wide Web’ and ‘Internal Combustion Engines’ are.
No “we” all don’t. Ask anyone who works support how fucking stupid the general population is about shit they use daily. Let alone stuff they heard years/decades ago. Seriously. Just start asking people to point to “the computer” and see how many point at the monitor even when it’s clearly an 80” wall hung TV.
Whether it’s text or video, there will always be a “Let me tell you about that time when I was on vacation” before the damn pot roast recipe or “Subscribe and play Raid Shadow Legends” followed by a 15 min padding.

Get to the f’ing point.
That’s become, by far, the most obvious tell for AI generated content for me. It’s just so damn unnatural.
This is just basic “undergrad pads word count” strategy.

They’re going to have a huge selection bias though - much of the “general population” will start elsewhere with things like documentation or brains.
Ironically, one of the nice uses I’m finding for AI is auto-summaries of exactly that sort of overly verbose article (or more often, Youtube video).
