I suggested that there should be a rule against obvious AI-generated posts in this thread in September last year, some agreed and said it should be added, but apparently, most of the people disagreed and said that it falls under the plagiarism rule and there is no need for another rule specifically for it.


Mostly, it's the writing pattern that gives it away, and not the punctuation. For example:

This should be detected as AI-generated:

"In short, AI spammers are a curse and should be banned. Without that, the forum will turn into a spamfest in the near future."

But this shouldn't:

"In short, AI spammers are a curse and should be banned, because if we don't do that's not done, the forum will turn into a spamfest in no time."

You see, I might have used the correct punctuation in both, but if you notice, the pattern in the first one, where there is an introductory word in the beginning, and then there is another one in the middle, making it two sentences instead of one. In the second one, even though it has an introductory word as well, but it's a whole sentence with a "because" in the middle to almost give the same meaning, and that's not the pattern an AI would usually use.
