Wikipedia:Signs of AI writing

Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" page is a field guide listing writing and formatting conventions typical of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, drawn from real Wikipedia content, to help editors detect undisclosed AI-generated text. It states that these signs are only observations and potential indicators, not proof, since humans and detection tools both make errors and some human writing shares these traits. The page highlights two recurring patterns: undue emphasis on significance, legacy and broader trends, with stock phrases such as "marking a pivotal moment" and "a testament to," and canned emphasis on notability, attribution and media coverage, such as listing trade publications or stating that a subject "maintains an active social media presence."
