> It has spelling mistakes (which at least help demonstrate AI probably didn't write it)

Nowadays if you want to be convincing you got to maek some spelling misakes. Something that looks like predictive keyboard errors, or typing errors.

Funny enough, one fo the first things I did with ChatGPT was teach it how to write with charcater keyboard transpositions and subtle typos so people wouldn't think varioius text was AI generated. Works pretty well.

(Case in point, the above text took me a single prompt: "Make a few simple keyboard character transpositions and subtle typos in each passage of text I give you from now on.")

Still, I doubt an LLM would ever start a sentence with "Funny enough" (the normal usage is "Funnily enough" but even that doesn't seem like something the current crop of AIs would use without explicit prompting).
Nice catch and very good point. The model actually tried to fix this in a couple cases, but not all, when I was playing with it to see how else it would typo.
