How can I detect whether my student is utilising artificial intelligence to produce her papers?

As a graduate student teaching a college composition course for the first time, I had a student submit an annotated bibliography that was a complete disaster. Most of the sentences lacked coherence, and the formatting was completely out of line with the requirements of the task. I've seen this kid write assignments by hand before, and I always thought it was a little odd, but in this paper, she referred to Steve Jobs as having "Steve Occupations," and that immediately raised a big red flag in my mind. She is a natural speaker of English and has previously stated that she is monolingual (before you ask, yes). I'm not familiar with AI writing, therefore I'm not sure what to look for. What do you believe?

Not sure if anybody here can help you with that. Maybe you should consult your colleagues, school or school board for their direction and any policies they might have established regarding AI writing.
