>I thought it was common knowledge that it was impossible to tell whether text was generated by AI.

Anyone who's been around AI generated content for more than five minutes can tell you what's legitimate and what isn't.

Let's test your skills as a plagiarism detector. Below are two paragraphs. One of them was written by an LLM, one by a human. I have only altered whitespace in order to make them scan the same. Can you tell which is which? How much would you bet that you are correct?

A. The Pathfinder and The Deerslayer stand at the head of Cooper's novels as artistic creations.

The defects in both of these tales are comparatively slight. They were pure works of art.

Unfortunately the essays of your students can not be found on gutenberg.org. You have to try evaluating only the text and it's context to guess what's LLM-generated.
