It can be obvious when a user is using ChatGPT to generate answers on Stack Exchange, and moderators may ban users if they start to give a lot of answers without references. But to copy literal AI answers [is not the only way to use the AI][1].

There are tools like [this one][2] that supposedly detect if a text has been generated by AI and suggest you to modificate the text until it appears to have been written by a human. I wonder if these detectors work properly, as the battle against engine use in chess is a difficult one, and language is much more complex than chess.

So, what if a user gets concepts for questions or answers from the AI but modifies the text slightly? How can Stack Exchange sites that follow Stack Overflow policy and ban AI use detect it? To use the AI itself is not an option (at least ChatGPT), as it fails to detect its own text:

Also, in chess, there have been programmed engines that play in a way that resembles human play, making it more difficult to detect their use in a game. What if human-like AI systems appear on the market? 

Will programmers start the battle against AI use, as in chess, or is it a lost battle?
