Can software reliably tell when something is written by AI at the moment? (May not be related to word frequency). Specifically thinking about something like Google
There never will be. Any software that declares to do this could be used as an tool to optimize a generated text:
AI, please write a text, give it to "The Tool", if this tool says the text is written by an AI, modify the text and repeat, stop if it says that the text is written by a human.
