AI models were 'taught' English language by using cheap Indian and African workers who would rate most suitable words to use, so this is not as much an article about detecting AI as it is an article describing the way Indians and Africans talk in English language.

If what you're saying could be considered valid, I'm not sure whether this should be an insult to how the average Indian or African speaks English, or a compliment.

I mean cmon:

> Nestled within the breathtaking region of Gonder in Ethiopia, Alamata Raya Kobo stands as a vibrant town with a rich cultural heritage and a significant place within the Amhara region. From its scenic landscapes to its historical landmarks, Alamata Raya Kobo offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the diverse tapestry of Ethiopia. In this article, we will explore the unique characteristics that make Alamata Raya Kobo a town worth visiting and shed light on its significance within the Amhara region.

If this is how you imagine the average Indian or African who trained AI models to generate prose speaks...well, you may not be too far off because some of them do have a way with words that dwarfs the average American, the banality of AI writing not withstanding.

Any evidence that that is how LLMs were taught? It doesn't match the moderate amount of info I know about their training in general.
