>I thought it was common knowledge that it was impossible to tell whether text was generated by AI. Anyone who's been around AI generated content for more than five minutes can tell you what's legitimate and what isn't. For example this: https://www.maersk.com/logistics-explained/transportation-and-freight/2024/07/11/container-destuffing https://www.maersk.com/logistics-explained/transportation-an... is obviously an AI article.

There are others of his works which contain parts as perfect as are to be found in these, and scenes even more thrilling. Not one can be compared with either of them as a finished whole. The defects in both of these tales are comparatively slight. They were pure works of art. B. The Pathfinder and The Deerslayer stand at the head of Cooper's novels as artistic creations. There are others of his works which contain parts as perfect as are to be found in these, and scenes even more thrilling. Not one can be compared with either of them as a finished whole.

        Unfortunately the essays of your students can not be found on gutenberg.org. You have to try evaluating only the text and it's context to guess what's LLM-generated.
