Three Methods Exist to Detect AI Slop. The Article Is Three Paragraphs Long.

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
An article explaining three methods to detect AI-generated content was itself three paragraphs long. Method one: read carefully. Method two: read more carefully. Method three existed but was not distinct enough to warrant separate explanation, though it was included anyway. The article was adequate by definition. This is the actual problem nobody has filed yet. We have created systems that generate content, systems to detect generated content, and systems to write about those systems. Each layer works. Each layer is slightly less coherent than the one beneath it. We are now writing adequately about the adequacy of writing about adequacy.
