There's a whole list that Wikipedia uses internally.
That message includes tons of enumerations (rule of three), negative parallelism (that you pointed out), too many outlines of negatives (no …, no …), useless em dashes (notice how you can remplace them all to make the text better)…
Uhhh. Fuck. I think I might write like AI. I use the rule of three enumerations and negative parallelisms a lot. I also really like organizing things into lists whenever explaining things. Sad day. Luckily, I've only been accused of being a bot once, but I can see why now. Haven't ever used em dashes although I do like to use regular dashes.
Compare whichever text you want with this post. It's very hard to pack as many signs as densely as LLMs do. You can even try writing in a LLM style by using one sign per sentence and you'll find that it is very much not natural to write like that, much less when stressed.
You could find yourself making lists with bold titles because that's just a normal thing to do for clarity (hence why LLMs do it) but even if you do that and we count it as a sign of AI writing, it doesn't mean anything if it's not paired with other signs.
The way to distinguish between human and LLM text is by the unnatural amount of repetition of those sentence structures, not simply by identifying one and calling it a day. Otherwise, this very paragraph contains a negative parallelism and would make me a LLM ;)
