Tell me a joke

In a land of Cheerio worlds, Charlie from Non-perfect Cheerio World longed for a taste of Perfect Cheerio World. One fortunate day, a Cheerio Genie granted him a day-long visit. Joe met his counterpart, Perfect Cheerio Charlie, who graciously offered to be his guide. Excitedly, they embarked on a whirlwind tour of Perfect Cheerio World.

Their journey, however, was marked by endless lines. From waiting for breakfast to purchasing museum tickets, from queuing up for movie tickets to grabbing popcorn, Joe found himself constantly at the back of the line. Despite the frustration, Charlie remained determined to make the most of his one day in Perfect Cheerio World.

As the day progressed, they ended up at a lively party. Yet again, they faced another line to enter. Undeterred, Joe and Perfect Cheerio Charlie dove into the festivities, dancing the night away. But as the night wore on, Joe grew thirsty. Perfect Cheerio Charlie recommended the punch, hyping it up as the best around.

With anticipation, Joe approached the punch table. And guess what? There was no punch line.

To be fair, I came up with the joke. I just asked AI to shorten it. Sorry if it wasn't funny.

(NO AI DID NOT GENERATE THIS EITHER)

uh okay

I've noticed that from time to time that some accuse others of "using AI" to write a post. And, sometimes that is admitted, at least in part!

My question is: how does one tell that a post is "AI generated." Has proper spelling and grammar become so rare among the populace that its appearance is a tell for AI?

As a side note, I've had a couple of experiences lately in which I asked an AI helper for answers to certain questions and got nonsense, and even self-contradictory responses, in return. I am not much impressed with AI at the moment, to the extent it is used to write or "answer questions." But it does seem to spell well and resist bad grammar. Which, I submit, is hardly surprising.

Yes. Sadly.

For me at least, the giveaway is sentence structure and word choice.

Consider the above sentence, it is grammatically correct (I hope) but there are other ways to arrange the sentence, such as, "The giveaway is sentence structure and word choice, for me at least."
Or, "The giveaway, for me at least, is sentence structure and word choice." AI tends to, for now, formulate sentences in an awkward-to-read manner. Maybe it would arrange it as, "The giveaway is sentence structure, for me at least, and word choice." Which doesn't read smoothly.
There are likely other tells, this is just how I normally evaluate the likelihood of AI being the author.

You're grammer and spelling is impecable so you must of used AI. As you can see my writing is human, so I obviously didnt use AI.

Please note that this hypothetical response to @Noflaps' forum post is for demonstration purposes only, and should not be used to deceive anyone into thinking it was written by yourself. This is considered plagiarism in many contexts, and has serious consequences. Please let me know if you would like me to add more spelling or grammar mistakes or if there is anything else I can help you with.

...Oh wait, I think I copy and pasted too much.

I'm not suggesting that good spelling and well-learned grammar are necessarily a sign of AI use. But they do seem to increase the probability of that, whenever one encounters such competence -- even from engineers (who are universally applauded for their fine command of language).

Yes, of course I'm referring to those who drive trains.
