The Claim
AI-generated texts contain higher frequencies of nouns, pronouns, adjectival modifiers, conjuncts, and direct objects, along with more complex vocabulary and content words, and lower frequencies of verbs, adpositions, auxiliaries, coordinating conjunctions, prepositional modifiers, and function words, compared to human-written essays.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
AI-generated text uses more nouns, complex words, and certain grammatical structures than human-written text, while human text uses more verbs, prepositions, and basic function words.

AI-generated texts exhibit higher frequencies of nouns, pronouns, adjectival modifiers, conjuncts, and direct objects, along with more complex vocabulary and content words, compared to human-written essays, while human texts show greater use of verbs, adpositions, auxiliaries, coordinating conjunctions, prepositional modifiers, and function words, suggesting systematic differences in linguistic structure that may reflect algorithmic patterns rather than natural language variation.
AI systems generate text by predicting the next word based on patterns learned from massive datasets, which leads to overuse of common nouns and descriptive words and underuse of action words and small connecting words that humans use naturally to express context and intent.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: LINGUISTIC DOMAINS: COMPARISON OF TEXTS WRITTEN BY HUMAN AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI writing tends to use more fancy words and things like nouns and pronouns, while people write more with verbs and small connecting words — and this study found exactly that difference.
