is rumored to have said:

> Bayes seems to get them most of the time, if you train it well. As more and more of this is AI-generated the "catch" rate goes up incidentally, as AI is, well, certainly artificial but not very intelligent :-)

It is also worth noting that Bayesian spam filtering is conceptually related to what LLM "AI" tools do. They assemble texts word-by-word based on the likelihood of each one being next based on the preceding series of $bignum words. They write artificial banality that is ideal for Bayesian analysis.
