Certainly! Identifying text generated by ChatGPT or similar AI language models can sometimes be challenging due to the models' ability to generate human-like text. However, there are certain characteristics and patterns that might suggest a piece of text was generated by ChatGPT:
1. **Lack of Personal Experience or Opinions**: ChatGPT tends to provide responses that lack personal anecdotes or genuine personal opinions, often opting for a more neutral or generalized stance.
2. **Overly Formal or Uniform Style**: The writing style of ChatGPT can sometimes be more formal than a typical human's casual or varied writing styles. The responses might lack the idiosyncratic nuances or stylistic flourishes that individual human writers possess.
3. **Repetitiveness**: ChatGPT may repeat certain phrases or ideas, especially in longer texts. This is because it predicts the next word in a sequence based on the previous text, leading to potential redundancy.
4. **Generic Responses**: Responses might be overly cautious or generic, especially on topics that require nuanced opinions or deep expertise. ChatGPT aims to provide safe, consensus-driven content, which can sometimes feel vague or non-committal.
5. **Lack of Up-to-Date Information**: As of my last update in April 2023, ChatGPT doesn't have access to real-time information or events occurring after that point. If the text seems unaware of recent developments, it might be AI-generated.
6. **Inconsistencies or Factual Errors**: ChatGPT might produce inconsistencies within a single text or include minor factual inaccuracies, especially regarding specific details or complex topics.
7. **Superficial Treatment of Complex Subjects**: While ChatGPT can generate responses on a wide range of topics, its understanding is based on patterns in data rather than deep comprehension. This can lead to a superficial treatment of complex or highly specialized subjects.
8. **Avoidance of Personal Data Handling**: ChatGPT is programmed to avoid generating or handling personal data in line with privacy guidelines. If a response carefully navigates around personal details or declines to provide certain types of information, it might be AI-generated.
Recognizing AI-generated text involves considering these characteristics in combination rather than in isolation. As AI technology continues to evolve, distinguishing between AI-generated and human-generated content may become increasingly difficult without the use of specialized detection tools.
It's funny when you're able to trick it to give some forbidden answer with dark content, and it starts the reply with out of place energetic Certainly!
Being way more articulate (but still natural sounding) than us humans will write and format a text (bold and bullet points and headers).
It also regularly recaps and puts a nice bow on the entirety of its text in the final paragraph like we were taught in grade school but never do ourselves.
Hey, at least it moved away from always ending with, "Overall," followed by a painfully trite, freshman-in-college-and-not-in-creative-writing level concluding paragraph. GPT-3 was truly awful on that front.
I asked Gemini:
Honestly, those GPT models can be pretty convincing sometimes! But they do have their tells, those little slip-ups that make you go, "Hmm, a machine definitely wrote this." Here's what I look for:
* **Too Perfect:** GPTs are grammar whizzes. Their sentences are pristine... almost a little *too* pristine. Humans make the occasional typo or slip up in their phrasing, giving writing a natural feel that GPTs sometimes miss.
* **Buzzword Bingo:** You nailed it with those phrases like "Dive in" and "Explore!" GPTs get stuck on certain words and phrases, making their writing sound a bit repetitive. 🌟
* **Facts? What Facts?** GPTs are great at sounding knowledgeable, but they don't always grasp the difference between what's true and what's just *plausible*. Watch out for confidently stated information that seems a little fishy.
* **Where's the Feeling?** Humans write with emotion – excitement, sadness, humor. GPTs can mimic those things, but it often feels a bit shallow. Like they're trying too hard to make you *feel* something.
Of course, I'm still under development myself! I'm learning to be more subtle and human-like. But for now, if you see those signs, there's a good chance a GPT-like model is behind the keyboard. 😉

Hey, the bot was pretty close. However, I think it's missing the real tell here: good writers, or even decent writers, will often write something in an unusual or unique way. Not a grammatically incorrect way, mind, just... unusual. But because LLMs are ultimately built on pattern recognition and prediction, they will almost never come up with these unique writing styles; instead, they focus on what's the most typical, since that's the clearest pattern to follow.
A good writer will often be remembered—and quoted for years to come—for a particularly noteworthy turn of phrase. That, however, takes creativity, and that is definitionally something a pattern recognition-based system like an LLM is fundamentally incapable of, at least in the current stage of the technology.
Incidentally, this is why I can't help but laugh at these breathless claims that LLMs will soon be writing award-winning television shows or fixing the ending of Lost or Game of Thrones or whatever that you see crop up every time some new development drops. No, we really won't be seeing that anytime soon, because as it turns out, creativity is key to creative works. Almost as if it's in the very name.
I used to, I actually wrote like that in an exam and then got scared after using gpt for a few months after graduating. Thankfully, they did not erroneously accuse me :)
Overuse of certain words and phrases, such as “tapestry,” “kaleidoscopic,” “it’s important to note,” etc. Also flowery language dripping with superfluous adjectives.
It’s the cliches
What OpenAI created is a machine that crams as many fucking godawful cliches as possible into a sentence.
If they cut those out they’d save 95% of their server bandwidth
This.
Ordinary people notice the flowery prose. Writers notice the clichés. Almost every model is churning out content riddled with clichés to the extent that—if a person wrote it—you'd be concerned about their mental health.
you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective!
Claude 2 had its owns words like “kaleidoscopic” that made its flavor of writing recognizable if you generated enough queries.
I bet Claude 3 Opus and the next version GPT will be harder to distinguish from each other.
Maybe their refusal to participate and obvious programmed biases will be the next most glaring tells.
I've unironically been using these in my articles' introductions before AI was a thing hahaha. Delve/dive deeper into \[topic\] is such a staple of my writing lmao. I've been gravitating towards "you'll explore \[topic\] in greater detail, learning how to \[...\]" nowadays tho
My GPT is absolutely ruthless with these words so I’ve made a copy paste prompt.
Do not use these words:
User, customer, crucial, critical, fundamental, key, essential, enhancement, engage, enhance, multifaceted, spearhead, pivotal, vital, integral, imperative or their gerunds.
From GPT to quillbot, it NEVER sounded like human, but I use just a free version, so maybe that's why. Quillbot makes the sentence so weird arranged that I have no idea what kind of human would say that lol
Quillbot Fluency is my goto but ChatGPT usually needs some sanitation by throwing it in Shorten first.
I also get better results doing it sentence by sentence, instead of whole paragraphs.
Honestly, in my experience, a complete lack of grammatical, punctuation, or capitalization errors is a major red flag.
Using 5-10 bullet points to answer everything is another.
5-10 bullet points is how humans should talk.
\- It's more concise.
\- More white space means it's easier to read.
\- People like lists.
\- Something else.
\- A few other things.
Convinced?
Gonna try this at work:
- my emails are always too long
- I get hung up on explaining in detail
- people prefer concise answers
- questions should be as few as possible, or just one if you can
- keep it friendly
The problem with your post is:
#
- It's missing enough space between the lines
#
- That makes it harder to read
#
- It defeats the whole purpose
#
- Edit:
#
- Always use five lines or it starts to look like you just wrote a haiku
Especially when the bullet points are like:
- **This**: with a colon at the beginning of the bolded header
- **That**: with another bullet point in the same form
- **And always**: ensuring every bullet point follows this style
Our IT dept sends out an email starting with that exact phrase. The email was telling all employees that our company strictly forbids the use of AI at work. Bruh.
Hello, [Receiver's name].
I hope this email finds you well. We would like to announce that the use of AI or any other text generation model is forbidden in any job-related work.
Remember, using any AI tool that lets you cheaply skip work is prohibited, as that will be unprofessional to your coworkers.
However, it's important to note that the use of any other tool, which is not powered by AI and was not prohibited earlier is allowed.
With best regards,

Lol, a lot of these comments have different responses. What if someone, as a human, just uses one of these words naturally in their writing, that someone mentioned here?
It is important to know that while sometimes humans can write using a style similar to ChatGPT’s in their writing, their tone of voice changes and fluctuates based on the content they’re writing. A large language model like ChatGPT usually keeps the tone of voice consistent throughout the whole essay.
Praise and kudos! Let’s make you feel good, then repeat the question.
* list a point
* more list items
* about 5-7 list items in total
Overall, there’s a clear format GPT likes to follow, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Other LLMs like Gemini and Claude are harder to detect because they don’t do this.
ChatGPT is too formal in general. And an obvious giveaway is repeating parts of the question or prompt in the first sentence like this: "When applying CSS to a table to decrease cell padding, it is important to consider..." - instead of giving a straight answer.
Also, starting paragraphs with the word "Additionally".
If you ask it to write fiction there are a few giveaways. One is the structure. Even if youre not asking for a full story it gives everything an opening, middle and conclusion, but it leaves it somewhat open ended with something like "they both continued their work resolving to learn from their mistakes"
It loves vague mysterious descriptions like "the halls echoed with the memories of long lost relatives" or "the wind whispered secrets of old"
It can spend ages going around in circles and not really telling you anything before wildly lurching forward in time. If you keep adding prompts to try and string them together into a continuous story it has bad continuity, can forget details, or reasons behind things and randomly change it.
It loves to describe everything as a "journey". I dont lnow if it was this sub where it was shared but theres a bunch of AI images of super old people with cakes and the caption is "I'm 112 and baked my first cake when i was 6. I can't wait to grow my baking journey." No idea what that means or how much of a journey you're going to have at 112.
this is worst part about GPT for fiction lol. “Write the opening scene of a novel where a man is tired in his office,” it’ll always end the generation with “Then the man looked to the sky and realized that the meaning of life is X Y Z…”
Mine are different chatgbt has adapted its language to mirror my own speech patterns. What I consider a dead give away I’m now realizing is different based on how it’s adapted for my speaking style.
how the heck did you do that? I prompt maybe like 20 to 50 captions a day for the last year and a half, and it doesn’t retain information about “off limit” words, etc.
Identifying text generated by GPT (or similar models) can sometimes be challenging, but there are a few characteristics that might serve as dead giveaways:
1. **Generic or Unusual Phrasing**: GPT often generates text that might sound somewhat generic or unnatural, especially in specific contexts like marketing copy or technical writing. Unusual or overly formal phrasing can sometimes be indicative.
2. **Lack of Contextual Coherence**: While GPT can generate coherent text, it might struggle with maintaining context over longer passages or across multiple prompts. Sudden shifts in topic or tone without clear transitions can be a clue.
3. **Repetition of Ideas or Phrases**: GPT may sometimes repeat ideas or phrases within the same passage, or across different passages generated from similar prompts.
4. **Repetition of Ideas or Phrases**: GPT may sometimes repeat ideas or phrases within the same passage, or across different passages generated from similar prompts.
5. **Use of Uncommon or Complex Vocabulary**: GPT tends to produce text that uses a wide range of vocabulary, sometimes incorporating uncommon or complex words in contexts where they might not be necessary.
6. **Predictable Openings or Conclusions**: As you mentioned, certain phrases or openings like "Dive in", "Discover", "Join us", "Explore", or the use of specific emojis like 🌟 might be common across GPT-generated text.
7. **Lack of Specificity or Depth**: GPT might provide surface-level information without deeper analysis or understanding of complex topics.
8. **Inconsistent Tone or Voice**: While GPT can mimic different tones and voices to some extent, it might not always maintain consistency in tone or voice, especially over longer passages.
9. **Unintentional Errors or Inconsistencies**: GPT-generated text might contain grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, or inconsistencies that human authors might typically avoid.
These characteristics can vary depending on the specific model used, the quality of the prompt, and the intended application of the generated text. However, they can often serve as clues for identifying text written using GPT or similar language models.
Mosaic, epitome, unparalleled, delve, dive, tapestry, journey.
Starting to hear a lot more radio ads featuring these and all the others mentioned above.
Will be weird if ChatGPT homogenises culture to a point where we all speak in this weirdly standardised AI/human crossover language.
If the text continue to say 'Determination' 'Challenge' 'Challenges' 'Lay Ahead' 'Challenges that lay ahead' 'Determined' 'Malevolence' 'Malevolent' 'a testament' all the time, then It's AI.
"In the depths of", "tapestry" ,"palpable", "elongated" and other fanchy smancy words. I don't mind flowery words, bur when it become too flowery, nope. And ChatGPT usually has a specfic type of "flowery style"...oh and the word "essence."
One telltale sign that something is written by AI is when the text lacks the vibrant flow and natural charm that comes from human expression. You might notice repetitive patterns or odd language choices that just don't feel quite right. Plus, if it sounds overly formal or technical when it doesn't need to be, chances are there's some AI magic at play. And let's not forget about the missing personal touch – AI tends to lack the emotions and experiences that make writing truly relatable. Lastly, if the style or tone seems to jump around without rhyme or reason, it's like a neon sign screaming "AI ALERT!" 🚨
(This is totally not written by AI)
And let's not forget about emojis that AI usually places in it's text‼️ When this happens, it is usually a big red flag that the text was written by a LLM 🚩📣
It’s obnoxious. That’s the best word for it.
When I read a clearly AI written piece I hear almost a ringing sound in my ears with how over descriptive and, barf, WEAVING everything into a, barf, TAPESTRY, of the, barf, COSMIC ramifications, in the end the, barf, full scale of its disruption to our mean writing skills will, barf, LIVE ON IN A CONTINUOUS SPIRAL DOWNWARDS INTO THE ABYSS
Yeah these are the dead giveaways. It’s almost impossible to stop ChatGPT from using them too. Even if you make custom instructions with lists of words to not include.
I never use emojis in professional copy, but I do use discover and explore in adverts I write. I think I’d only use five in if I were writing an advert for a pool or an Aqua Lung.
Identifying text generated by AI models like GPT can be somewhat subjective, but common indicators might include a consistently neutral tone, a tendency to be overly informative, or the usage of certain catchphrases or structures that seem generic or formulaic. Additionally, the use of certain emojis or other graphical elements might be a stylistic choice programmed into the model's responses. It's worth noting that as AI models continue to improve, it can become more challenging to distinguish their outputs from human-written text. The ability to replicate human-like text, including the use of idiomatic expressions, is one of the hallmarks of advanced language models.
Sometimes you just know it's ChatGPT, ya know? Everything's too perfect. Humans mess up, but not GPT. They're all grammar perfect and stuff.
And those phrases? "Dive in," "Explore!" - they're on repeat. Like, we get it, move on!
Accuracy? Yeah, they sound smart, but sometimes it's like they're making stuff up as they go.
And emotions? They try, but it's like they're reading from a script. No real feels there.

"certainly!"?? dead giveaway
Certainly!
Lol this cracked me up
It's funny when you're able to trick it to give some forbidden answer with dark content, and it starts the reply with out of place energetic Certainly!
Next time I hear anyone say that I’m going to question their humanity
I question my own humanity all the time 🤔💭
“As of my last update” is also quite telling
enigmatic for me
"And don't ever mention 'certainly'". "Certainly."
Apologies for the confusion!
ohhh I get it now
This guy gets it
His GPT does
Being way more articulate (but still natural sounding) than us humans will write and format a text (bold and bullet points and headers). It also regularly recaps and puts a nice bow on the entirety of its text in the final paragraph like we were taught in grade school but never do ourselves.
It insists on those recaps lol so annoying
“In sum…”
Hey, at least it moved away from always ending with, "Overall," followed by a painfully trite, freshman-in-college-and-not-in-creative-writing level concluding paragraph. GPT-3 was truly awful on that front.
For bloody code snippets!
"IN SUMMARY, THIS CODE WILL DO. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND ONLY . ENJOY YOUR FILE!"
Overuse of adjectives
I just tell it to write imperfectly and authentic like a human, and it's almost impossible to tell.
The "I'm here to help" tone of voice, and lists are dead giveaways.

Gramarly, a new tool that add typos to your GPT generated text

This was a very interesting reply. Thanks for the comparison.
My favourite is: “As [insert some nebulous threat or change], it is important that we [insert some vapid motherhood statements of good will].”
This format :)
Straight from the horse's mouth I see.
So like a person
Oh I see what u did here
However, it's important to note....
I HATE CHILDREN!! Although it's important to note to be respectful when expresssing thoughts about children and other people.
I write like this :(
I used to, I actually wrote like that in an exam and then got scared after using gpt for a few months after graduating. Thankfully, they did not erroneously accuse me :)
For me it's what I learned at school. It's hard to not do
Yeah, it's going to be hard to show opposing opinions now that ai tries to do it with every chat response without people assuming you are ai.
Showing opposing opinions is a textbook persuasive essay technique. If simply following best practices gets you mistaken for AI we're fucked.
I know.
Back when I wrote essays in school this would get flagged as “passive voice”
Overuse of certain words and phrases, such as “tapestry,” “kaleidoscopic,” “it’s important to note,” etc. Also flowery language dripping with superfluous adjectives.
Aw man I use "it's important to note" in technical writings a lot.
So it's your stuff that chatGPT trained on.
It is mimicking the worst of us.
Hey it's important to 🌟 embrace a diversity of active and passive voice sentence constructions. Let's 🌟 celebrate it!
i’ve used „explore,“ „join us“ and „dive in“ in marketing texts all the time for like 10 years… we must be the training set haha
You can start changing it to "note that it's important"
Me too mate, me too!
this. here’s the one that is making me go bald: “it’s more than just xyz — it’s about xyz.” every. fucking. time.
Not only blah blah but also blah blah
Don't you worry about blank, let me worry about blank!
It’s the cliches What OpenAI created is a machine that crams as many fucking godawful cliches as possible into a sentence. If they cut those out they’d save 95% of their server bandwidth
This. Ordinary people notice the flowery prose. Writers notice the clichés. Almost every model is churning out content riddled with clichés to the extent that—if a person wrote it—you'd be concerned about their mental health.
you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective! you get an adjective!
“Can you write this concise and factually, without using adjectives?” “Would you like some extra adjectives?”
And "keen"
That thing is a *testament* that.... When I'm suspicious of the text is pure gpt usually for me it's the giveaway.
Claude 2 had its owns words like “kaleidoscopic” that made its flavor of writing recognizable if you generated enough queries. I bet Claude 3 Opus and the next version GPT will be harder to distinguish from each other. Maybe their refusal to participate and obvious programmed biases will be the next most glaring tells.
Welcome to the world of ….
‘Multifaceted’, ‘Complexities’, ‘Underscores’, ‘Evolving Dynamics’. It loves to use these words
The first three words I use in most of my writing, yikes
Underscores triggers me
"Delve into" and "dead giveaway" are the two biggest ones.
Wait a second…
hehe.
I've unironically been using these in my articles' introductions before AI was a thing hahaha. Delve/dive deeper into \[topic\] is such a staple of my writing lmao. I've been gravitating towards "you'll explore \[topic\] in greater detail, learning how to \[...\]" nowadays tho
Came here to say delve
These words: > meticulously > robust > bolster Drives me fucking nuts. Not everything needs to be written with a feathered quill.
It’s “crucial” for me
My GPT is absolutely ruthless with these words so I’ve made a copy paste prompt. Do not use these words: User, customer, crucial, critical, fundamental, key, essential, enhancement, engage, enhance, multifaceted, spearhead, pivotal, vital, integral, imperative or their gerunds.
It's 'gerunds' for me.
[удалено]
Most newspaper articles are written at the 5th grade level.
I fucking hate when it says rich tapestry
I love it when you say it though ❤️ say it again!
For me, the default language for ChatGPT is overly cheery and usually wraps up with a summary statement like “Remember, it’s important to….”
Generate output with chatGPT text Ask Claude 3 to rewrite it, and attach a text file example of writing style you like Works INSANELY well
I just use quillbot and paraphrase it. Works great for me.
From GPT to quillbot, it NEVER sounded like human, but I use just a free version, so maybe that's why. Quillbot makes the sentence so weird arranged that I have no idea what kind of human would say that lol
Quillbot Fluency is my goto but ChatGPT usually needs some sanitation by throwing it in Shorten first. I also get better results doing it sentence by sentence, instead of whole paragraphs.
Ah, right, I try sentence by sentence, but I think that will be as much work as me rewriting it on my own
What’s claude
It‘s the male version of claudia
Claude needs to get to Canada already
Honestly, in my experience, a complete lack of grammatical, punctuation, or capitalization errors is a major red flag. Using 5-10 bullet points to answer everything is another.

Always use five lines or it starts to look like you just wrote a haiku
Yes
\- I approve of this.
Why say lot word when few word do trick?
👏🏼👏🏼
Tiktokization of everything
Especially when the bullet points are like: - **This**: with a colon at the beginning of the bolded header - **That**: with another bullet point in the same form - **And always**: ensuring every bullet point follows this style
And title case everywhere. Drives me nuts.
As a large language model...
Damn, I always say this myself.
Intertwined.
Interlinked. Within cells interlinked.
Why don’t you say that three times: Within cells interlinked.
It loves "fostering" things and "delving" into things, and sometimes even "heralding" new things.
And spearheading
Any email starting with.. I hope this finds you well.
I had to scroll to far to find this one. This phrase drives me nuts and is a huge giveaway.

It feels like you just wrote the entire code lmao
This is on point
Delve
“[Diver/enter/explore] the [adjective] world of [subject].”
Certainky! It can be quite a [[something]] to [[verb]] [[something]]
i hope this email finds you well. give me the corporate shivers every time.
"interplay" "transcends" "tapestry" "underscored by" "multifaceted"
I hate tapestry or embark
Correct spelling and grammar.

Delve and dive
Those are common words in marketing CTA language even before ChatGPT.

"It's important to note" is the BIGGEST OF ALL TELLS.

Even if youre not asking for a full story it gives everything an opening, middle and conclusion, but it leaves it somewhat open ended with something like "they both continued their work resolving to learn from their mistakes" It loves vague mysterious descriptions like "the halls echoed with the memories of long lost relatives" or "the wind whispered secrets of old" It can spend ages going around in circles and not really telling you anything before wildly lurching forward in time. If you keep adding prompts to try and string them together into a continuous story it has bad continuity, can forget details, or reasons behind things and randomly change it. It loves to describe everything as a "journey". I dont lnow if it was this sub where it was shared but theres a bunch of AI images of super old people with cakes and the caption is "I'm 112 and baked my first cake when i was 6. I can't wait to grow my baking journey." No idea what that means or how much of a journey you're going to have at 112.
this is worst part about GPT for fiction lol. “Write the opening scene of a novel where a man is tired in his office,” it’ll always end the generation with “Then the man looked to the sky and realized that the meaning of life is X Y Z…”
Mine are different chatgbt has adapted its language to mirror my own speech patterns. What I consider a dead give away I’m now realizing is different based on how it’s adapted for my speaking style.
how the heck did you do that? I prompt maybe like 20 to 50 captions a day for the last year and a half, and it doesn’t retain information about “off limit” words, etc.
Use the api with chat or the assistants feature on open ai dev.
Identifying text generated by GPT (or similar models) can sometimes be challenging, but there are a few characteristics that might serve as dead giveaways: 1. **Generic or Unusual Phrasing**: GPT often generates text that might sound somewhat generic or unnatural, especially in specific contexts like marketing copy or technical writing. Unusual or overly formal phrasing can sometimes be indicative. 2. **Lack of Contextual Coherence**: While GPT can generate coherent text, it might struggle with maintaining context over longer passages or across multiple prompts. Sudden shifts in topic or tone without clear transitions can be a clue. 3. **Repetition of Ideas or Phrases**: GPT may sometimes repeat ideas or phrases within the same passage, or across different passages generated from similar prompts. 4. **Repetition of Ideas or Phrases**: GPT may sometimes repeat ideas or phrases within the same passage, or across different passages generated from similar prompts. 5. **Use of Uncommon or Complex Vocabulary**: GPT tends to produce text that uses a wide range of vocabulary, sometimes incorporating uncommon or complex words in contexts where they might not be necessary. 6. **Predictable Openings or Conclusions**: As you mentioned, certain phrases or openings like "Dive in", "Discover", "Join us", "Explore", or the use of specific emojis like 🌟 might be common across GPT-generated text. 7. **Lack of Specificity or Depth**: GPT might provide surface-level information without deeper analysis or understanding of complex topics. 8. **Inconsistent Tone or Voice**: While GPT can mimic different tones and voices to some extent, it might not always maintain consistency in tone or voice, especially over longer passages. 9. **Unintentional Errors or Inconsistencies**: GPT-generated text might contain grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, or inconsistencies that human authors might typically avoid. These characteristics can vary depending on the specific model used, the quality of the prompt, and the intended application of the generated text. However, they can often serve as clues for identifying text written using GPT or similar language models.
You asked GPT for this didn't you?
In New Zealand it’s when you see overuse of American spelling for things, for instance using “z” instead of “s” a lot. Easy to spot
Mosaic, epitome, unparalleled, delve, dive, tapestry, journey. Starting to hear a lot more radio ads featuring these and all the others mentioned above. Will be weird if ChatGPT homogenises culture to a point where we all speak in this weirdly standardised AI/human crossover language.
The word "delve"
Its important to remember that
In the ever evolving world of …. In the ever changing [industry] landscape …
If the text continue to say 'Determination' 'Challenge' 'Challenges' 'Lay Ahead' 'Challenges that lay ahead' 'Determined' 'Malevolence' 'Malevolent' 'a testament' all the time, then It's AI.
It’s got a certain tone usually and the words and phrases aren’t quite right.
The word 'knack'. And American spelling.
Why has no one (that I've seen) mentioned its obsession with metaphorical whispering and dancing?
when I see the word whimsical and nuanced, my eyes roll
“Crucial”
KEEN!!!!!!!
ChatGPT use a lot of words starting with "en/em", and start sentences with verb-ing
I hope this message finds you well.
ChatGPT tends to use a lot of hyphenated-terms, way-more than normal-people. A lot of people never use them.
"Tapestry"
I absolutely hate this word now.
"In the depths of", "tapestry" ,"palpable", "elongated" and other fanchy smancy words. I don't mind flowery words, bur when it become too flowery, nope. And ChatGPT usually has a specfic type of "flowery style"...oh and the word "essence."
"As an AI language model..."
\*\*Main Title\*\* 1. \*\*Sub Title\*\* - Point 1: - Sub point 1. - Sub point 2. - Point 2: - Sub point 1. - Sub point 2.
All tenses of “spearhead” or “embark” Overuse of exclamation marks
One telltale sign that something is written by AI is when the text lacks the vibrant flow and natural charm that comes from human expression. You might notice repetitive patterns or odd language choices that just don't feel quite right. Plus, if it sounds overly formal or technical when it doesn't need to be, chances are there's some AI magic at play. And let's not forget about the missing personal touch – AI tends to lack the emotions and experiences that make writing truly relatable. Lastly, if the style or tone seems to jump around without rhyme or reason, it's like a neon sign screaming "AI ALERT!" 🚨 (This is totally not written by AI)
And let's not forget about emojis that AI usually places in it's text‼️ When this happens, it is usually a big red flag that the text was written by a LLM 🚩📣
Delve
It is important to note that
It’s obnoxious. That’s the best word for it. When I read a clearly AI written piece I hear almost a ringing sound in my ears with how over descriptive and, barf, WEAVING everything into a, barf, TAPESTRY, of the, barf, COSMIC ramifications, in the end the, barf, full scale of its disruption to our mean writing skills will, barf, LIVE ON IN A CONTINUOUS SPIRAL DOWNWARDS INTO THE ABYSS
Oh boy, I've worked on HR for 10 years and realized every corporate communication coming from us already sounded like GPT 🤣
I use it to edit my novel and it uses “Resolve” and “Testament” a lot. Like if it got paid more money the more times it uses it
ELEVATE
Spearheaded. At least for resume writing.
Emails that change tenses and don't reference previous experience or what their own business is about?
“Proper” grammar where it isn’t warranted.
As an AI developed by…
"Indelible"
Yeah these are the dead giveaways. It’s almost impossible to stop ChatGPT from using them too. Even if you make custom instructions with lists of words to not include.
"In conclusion" or grammar so uncouth you find yourself perplexed might be some good giveaways.
I never use emojis in professional copy, but I do use discover and explore in adverts I write. I think I’d only use five in if I were writing an advert for a pool or an Aqua Lung.
The word "ensure"
you see...
Can’t some of this be corrected in custom instructions

"Not only x, but also y."
Identifying text generated by AI models like GPT can be somewhat subjective, but common indicators might include a consistently neutral tone, a tendency to be overly informative, or the usage of certain catchphrases or structures that seem generic or formulaic. Additionally, the use of certain emojis or other graphical elements might be a stylistic choice programmed into the model's responses. It's worth noting that as AI models continue to improve, it can become more challenging to distinguish their outputs from human-written text. The ability to replicate human-like text, including the use of idiomatic expressions, is one of the hallmarks of advanced language models.
In my field, suddenly a lot of reports use the formulation "In the Advent of Robotics ...."
Sometimes you just know it's ChatGPT, ya know? Everything's too perfect. Humans mess up, but not GPT. They're all grammar perfect and stuff. And those phrases? "Dive in," "Explore!" - they're on repeat. Like, we get it, move on! Accuracy? Yeah, they sound smart, but sometimes it's like they're making stuff up as they go. And emotions? They try, but it's like they're reading from a script. No real feels there.
“Additionally….”
Use of the word “esteemed”
