If you can tell that it's AI, that's probably because it is low effort. Higher-effort attempts pass more easily.

(Of course, that also requires an understanding that there are ways to apply effort to making a short request; and believing that it would make a difference; and noticing for yourself that the first output is bad; and trying. Quite a lot of people seem to lack at least one of these.)
