They can choose to not actually read it, but focus on whether or not it was written by AI, or instead they could focus on what the text is saying, AI or human generated. If the sky is red, does it matter if the AI generated those three words vs a human? The sky is red! So it's a good point to make, but it's on them too decide how they want to use it.
