Recently, a well-respected Catholic publication ran the first in what it billed as a series of three articles. Having recently returned from the Association of Catholic Publishers membership meeting, which featured three breakout sessions on artificial intelligence, one of my coworkers read the article and thought that something seemed a bit off. He thought he detected elements of AI writing, and taking a quick look, I agreed. I copied the article and pasted it into an AI tool designed to detect AI-generated content. The tool determined that 82% of the text was AI-generated.

Nowhere in the article or credit line was it noted that AI was used to generate the content. There was no editor’s note explaining its genesis, which leads me to believe that the editors of the publication had no idea what the person whose name was attached to the article had submitted. And the putative author himself had provided a lengthy bio in which he noted that the topic of the three-article series was near and dear to his heart.
