Lesson
Knowing a text was machine-written is useful, but it does not settle accuracy either way. The better question is what the system was told to do. A prompt that asks for a persuasive op-ed produces a persuasive op-ed, facts optional.
Treat generated text as an interpretive layer with no custody of the record. Check every fact against its source. Then read the structure for the instruction behind it: what was emphasized, what was omitted, and what reaction the piece is built to produce.
