AI seems easy to identify because it writes like a middle schooler doing their homework. Which is kind of a problem when you're a middle schooler doing your homework.

I wonder if a tiny upside could be that we stop teaching students to write like that. The formulaic, vapid mechanisms we teach them aren't merely unpleasant to read. They're opposite to the goal of writing, which is to get a point across. When we teach them to write like Mad Libs, they're not really learning anything about communication.
