  The lie of the existence of reliable detection served its purpose when it was originally claimed this content would poison the corpus of our whole culture. Now that conversation has passed and they don't have to answer the question anymore.

  It's weird that people ever thought that it would. The whole goal of creating an LLM is to make an AI that convincingly writes like a human, which makes it immune to any form of writing detector.

      const pattern = /I hope this (\w+) finds you well\./;
  
      if (pattern.test(text)) {
        console.log("is ai.");
      } else {
        console.log("not ai.");
      }
