I rejected 12 AI written drafts last month. Here's the one test that gave them away.

I review content for my project every week and last month I rejected 12 AI generated drafts. Not because they were bad, but because they were too smooth. Every paragraph was balanced, every sentence polished, nothing left unresolved.

The test I used was simple: I looked for a sentence that trailed off an opinion that might be wrong, a thought that wasn't fully closed. AI doesn't leave loose ends, humans do. That one difference gave away all 12.

So for those who review content regularly: do you have a specific signal that tells you "this is AI" before you finish reading or do you rely on gut feeling? And the harder question: if you can't explain the signal, is it actually a signal or just a bias?
