Not a player either. My understanding is that there are a couple giveaways.

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.

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.
