AI detectors are unreliable, but after reading 30 student essays co-generated (on purpose) by ChatGPT, I can confidently advise you to flag anything that includes "grapple," "delve," "intertwined," "intricate," "ever-evolving," and--its apparent favorite word--"tapestry."

This beautiful high Gothic doorway in St Albans dates from the reign of Richard II (1377-99). We know this as the shield in the top left is Richard’s coat of arms. The shield in the top right is the earliest known civic shield of the city. It’s utterly beguiling.

The Ancient Romans had versions of pizza, and bread has been a stable since before recorded history...but it took humanity until 1718 to invent the sandwich? Feels like a glitch in the matrix.
