It might be a more tractable question to ask whether the author wrote the text.
You might imagine, for example, in an academic context combining an in-person Q&A. Or other non-text modalities that currently still are hard to fake.

I dont think you can. If you know who “wrote” it though, you might be able to detect it if its drastically different in tone than what they have written in the past (but even then it might have been ghost written)

Turing said there will come a time when you can't!
