The frustrating part is that huge companies have scraped so much from the Internet that the stuff it writes is pretty indistinguishable from human written text.

On the Wikipedia page, it cites various habits of AI writing — use of em dashes, its meticulous and often superfluous way of bolstering the points it writes, and its love of the Rule of Three.

It’s not just these three, but also how it expands and bends its vocabulary to avoid repeating itself too often, like this example.

And I hope you appreciate that I’ve deliberately used a lot of the examples from the linked page while writing this.

And I’d hate for the takeaway here to be that you have to sand the corners off your own writing style to avoid being accused of writing with AI.

Humans are wired to love the rule of three, I love the Oxford comma - and sometimes I’ll use dashes just for the sake of it.
