Marvelous examination of how to spot 2026-era AI writing, via the Economist - AI likes long sentences with less punctuation; “and” is its most overused word - relatedly, lists of three things, which drives up use of "and" as well - polysyllabic adjectives: “significant”, “increasingly” - scientific jargon ("rate-limiting," “parameter”) - nominalizations (making nouns from verbs: eg, “expansion” from “expand”) - ofc, everyone's favorite: "it's not X, it's Y"
