Over the past year and a half or so, I've noticed a lot more web content that starts off seeming reasonably good, even if simplistic, but after the first paragraph or two becomes inordinately repetitive, and often drifts off into some vaguely related other subject that just on the whole doesn't make sense.

I suspect that this stuff is AI-written. It could also be just really mediocre human writing, but I've really not noticed this particular quality of repetitive, drifting-off-topic writing until fairly recently.

True, I suspect something is written by AI when - - focusing on the sentence feels like it was written by a native English speaker - focusing on the paragraph feels like author is just trying to fill space

Poor writing in freelanced work/low quality blogs often come from poor grammar and lack of continuity or smooth flow of thoughts. When written by AI, the grammar and spelling seem to be immaculate but the thoughts though linked well just go round and round.
