google "How to do X?"

AI pages are always like this

X is very useful
ads
X is used for a,b,c application
ads
Generic advice about how X can be done which everyone knows
ads
One line in the entire page which nudges you towards how to actually do X
ads
You should really try X

10/10 best impression XD

There are a little bit of variation for other stuff, but they have their templates. Say if you look for some specific thing "the earliest super nova documented" then chances are it will guide you to wikipedia or some valid sources.

But if your search term contains anything that was trending on google, say if you search some hot game's tip, etc. There will be pages and pages of AI generated contents, from some domain you don't really recognize. (so better put ign or gamefaq or Fextralife/fandom wiki as search term now. )

Either that or the article is a giant ad for a specific tool to do X
