AI play very differently than people. ~~The thinking* for AI is shortest term and it's my understanding that it's obvious to people that play.~~ See below.
It's possible to look up optimal* moves based on the board state. I would imagine that they'll keep an eye on your browser/system to keep an eye out for such tools.

Just look at the elo of someone. Yes you could be the new Magnus but chances are that if it rises too fast the person is using an engine to decide their moves.

It's the opposite, chess engines think so long term, that moves that look stupid to humans can often be the best technical move.

Engines are slow in certain time controls and infinitely fast compared to classical. Gothamchess has beaten stockfish cheaters just by moving back and forth in a defensive posture causing cheaters to time out waiting for their move.
