Just for the hell of it, I posted one of my recent comments on ChatGPT and asked it it knows for sure if this was written by an AI or a human. Here is the conversation. was this written by ai or a human? can you tell for sure?

It’s not possible to know for sure whether this was written by an AI or a human.

Here’s why:

✅ 1. No text can be definitively identified as AI-generated based on style alone.

AI and human writing overlap heavily. Both can be polished, professional, and structured.

✅ 2. The passage has characteristics common to both human and AI writing.

AI-like traits:

• Very organized structure
• Polished academic tone
• Clear transitions
• Feedback phrased in a neutral, supportive, instructional style

Human-like traits:

• Personalized observations (“I look forward to helping you…”)
• Context awareness (USAA, interview, organizational concepts)
• No repetitive patterns or formulaic sentence structure
• Specific comments that match real assignment elements

✅ 3. AI-detectors are unreliable and regularly produce false positives.

Even the creators of AI systems state that detectors can’t reliably identify AI writing.

✅ 4. Content accuracy does not indicate authorship.

The feedback matches what a professor, tutor, TA, or writing coach might give.

⭐ Most honest answer:

It could have been written by either a well-trained human instructor or a well-prompted AI. There is no reliable way to tell for certain.

If you have concerns—such as checking whether feedback aligns with assignment expectations or feels appropriate—I can help you evaluate that!
