> they write text better

Not if you view text as a medium for communication, i.e. as a way for a sender to serialize some idea they have in their mind and transfer it to the reader for deserialization.

The AI doesn't know what the sender meant. It can't add any clarity. It can only corrupt and distort whatever message the sender was trying to communicate.

Fixating on these tells is a way for the receiver of the message to detect that it has been corrupted and there is no point in trying to deserialize it. The harder you try to interpret an AI-generated message, the less sense it will make.
