It's actually crazy how it's hard for us humans to tell when an article was written by AI and when it wasn't. I did the same thing but to a bigger extend, which was documented here if you are interested

Mostly it isn't that hard - they always have a certain 'feel' to them... whenever I'm suspicious I run it through a GPT detector and my hunch is usually correct

So far I'm fairly confident I can tell when AI has been used. It's pretty sad if people's reading ability and discernment are so poor that they airways fall for it; though too many people fall for the lies spouted by politicians, so go figure...
From what I've seen so far AI generated text is usually highly descriptive; verbose and has no personality. It avoids expressing an opinion, but instead presents all possible sides of an argument. It's soulless and boring. Just what you would expect...

@blindfish3 @jonrandy sometimes it is really obvious, don't get me wrong. But as someone that picked up english as his 3rd language I would lie if I told you that I can always pick up on it.

So at the end it outputs what any adult discussion should look like (at least in the science-related world, though it won't be true in yellow journalism for example) 😅
