This
study investigates the linguistic and structural differences between
human-written and AI-generated content of news articles on mental health, using
The Times of India articles and AI-generated content from ChatGPT and Gemini
AI. Through corpus analysis using AntConc software, the study examines
keywords, collocational behaviour, sentiment, modality, and framing strategies
across three distinct corpora. Using a corpus-based approach and software such
as AntConc, the study examines 130 human-written articles from TOI and 130
articles written by AI between 1 January 2025 and 30 April 2025. The findings
reveal that TOI articles exhibit a richer emotional vocabulary, with frequent
use of terms related to personal experience and stigma, while ChatGPT and Gemini
content lean towards formal, analytical language, with Gemini focusing on
policy and structural framing. Sentiment analysis shows that human-written
articles are more emotionally engaged, employing stronger, assertive language,
whereas AI-generated articles show more neutrality and caution, particularly in
terms of modality.
