With Stockfish and other traditional engines, yes. With Leela and AlphaZero, no.

Not with Stockfish or even Houdini. They both play magical moves. Note that Stockfish 9/10 can currently beat Leela and possibly even AlphaZero

That wasn’t the question being asked.

Games played by computers (with the exception of NN-based programs) have a generally-discernible feel to them that I believe most grandmasters can spot a mile away.

And that was my point too. Stockfish and houdini both play very human like moves; that's if we can even define human like moves.

Stockfish frequently sacs pawns and minor pieces for space advantage
