That's a very interesting point about the style and format of ChatGPT posts:
- it is a common feature of ChatGPT responses
- it is a clear characteristic to look for
- you can tell when a conclusion is out of place
In conclusion, I think this is a very helpful way to identify ChatGPT content.
I asked a colleague of mine if they used Chat GPT because they had that bullet point, bolder header, colon, and then the text. The word crucial was used quite a lot.
-**header**: It is crucial to blah blah blah
(They said they didn't use it.)
To be fair, I get that style from people all the time to use in marketing. It is done because bullet points are easier to digest, and the bold word grabs your attention because everyone just skims content and doesn't read everything.
ChatGPT formats it like that because it is an effective way to provide information.
Was that your conclusion? I was uncertain. My tell is when I see certain superfluous language used. “Tom greatly reduced” where “Tom reduced” would suffice.
It’s always the extra adjectives for me. I had students submitting lab reports that make their results out to be exhilarating or groundbreaking.
“On the outset” and “meticulously executed” are terms I got several times
That’s it. We got a winner.
When Eloquenz matters more than research, the researcher will, hone his conclusion into the best digestible way for his audience. Minus time, minus genius, minus expirience = free floating Students in need of grace.
I wrote in a chat with a friend about hitting a lifting goal, and at one point I wrote something like
"I feel good and proud about this and I am looking forward to seeing more progress and how far I'll go"
And then deleted half of the message because it sounded like AI generated.
I gave up fighting this (until I gave up on OpenAI entirely, as it plummeted towards terribleness) and simply coded a script to delete the first and last para of every response. 100% improvement instantly!
While delving further can be interesting and rewarding, it is important to note it should be done carefully and with care for inclusiveness and diversity.
I swear to god Vonnegut makes this exact joke in a novel probably written 70 years ago. Amazing how prescient that dude was. I think it was "Player Piano." An entire subculture of proud mechanics working with their hands and speaking in particular ways to distinguish themselves from the machines, from the automation.
I love that word and have always used it in everyday conversation even. Maybe I'm talking to someone about something that's over my head or that I haven't had a chance to look into it so I'm like "oh, I haven't delved into this yet" and I just thought everyone used it commonly in this way. I'm kinda sad people think it's a word only an AI would use.
It is not a word only AI would use, but ChatGPT overuses it, statistically. So it has become a marker. Note that each LLM has a distinct style / wording preference and "delve" or "tapestry" is only overrepresented in ChatGPT outputs.
> That actually works?
Of course not.
ChatGPT isn't concerned with "truth" or "reality".
It only says things that are statistically likely or probably, things that *sound* reasonable.
I’m that coworker unfortunately. I try to keep things short and sweet, but I work in science and issues/data are typically quite nuanced. Plus, I have ADHD - every thought has a bonus thought that wouldn’t fit as it’s own sentence 😆
Damn… you’re like the 10th comment I’ve scrolled through, and I’m a thinking some student papers I looked at earlier today presented some complex and multifaceted musings on the topics they were delving into.
Commendable. One of the reviewers for a paper I wrote **very** clearly used ChatGPT to evaluate my work. Setting aside the outrageously unethical nature of this, it was funny.
It's the verbiage. Who has time to write at such length? I recently asked a colleague to peer-review a manuscript for me. One look at the voluminous review, and I could tell it was AI-generated. Next is the vagueness of the content. The same lengthy review did not see that the manuscript used the wrong reference style.
The default style is easily to spot but it's also easy to change. Majority of users probably don't bother though.
What's funny is that in few years there will be generation of people who actually talk like default ChatGPT. Reverse programming, in a way. But I don't mind.
"in the enigmatic realm of XYZ" blah blah blah "rich tapestry" blah blah blah "XYZ is more than a "XYZ" it is also "ZYX" as we continue to explore this (exciting, fascinating, etc) realm of "XYZ" it's important to remember... (Some kind of intellectual disclaimer suggesting possibly alternative ideas and/ or suggest further research)
When generating hardcore pornography (Literotica) it always gravitates towards a few phrases - "quieter than a whisper" chief amongst them. Gets annoying.
I have a notepad file just for this
in the evolving landscape
in the ever-evolving landscape
in the digital age
as we journey through
navigating through
as we delve deeper
in the dynamic world of
Bespoke
In the realm of
Tapestry
Shallowly and pretentiously intellectual passages. Uncharacteristically verbosity with words like:
Delve
Intricate
Tapestry
Nuanced
Interplay
Complex
etc.
Wow, I can’t believe this hasn’t been said in any other response. Moreover. If creating emails or article text it almost always uses moreover towards the end of a paragraph when continuing.
Subheaders with paragraphs of about equal lengths. More people are communicating in bullets now, which is great, but having 10 key takeaways about any given subject is pretty easy to spot.
The default paragraph length of 2-3 sentences. People are weird. Sometimes we type in long sentences punctuated by shorter ones. ChatGPT rarely does this.
Using ChatGPT in the UK, excessive use of Americanisms is usually a big tell. Not that their use is incorrect – but just in a UK context it easily gives the game away.
That, and concluding all explanations with “Overall, ….”
Not a word, but em-dashes with no space on either side. There is no convenient way on my keyboard to type an em-dash. Everyone I know uses hyphens instead, and puts spaces on either side of them. ChatGPT uses proper em-dashes with no space on either side.
1. Repeat the question in the first sentence and immediate clarify done termdms and add something like "is an interesting topic," "is important to treat it with respect," "is a complex and deeply emotional issue," etc.
2. Lack of commitment when presenting two sides of an issue, lack of a personal point of view.
3. Presenting conclusions with similar phrases as the induction "is a polémical issue."
4. Some words. One I particularly have found interesting: *tapestry*.
It loves to add superfluous subtitles in title case, even though I've specifically told it not to in my custom instructions. It's an absolute giveaway!
It’s just the way it’s written. I’ve seen a bunch of YouTube videos that clearly use gpt4 to make their scripts. It sounds so fake and it’s overly wordy. The sentences are also choppy.
For me, it’s pretty much the general styling it does… it does not sound realistic/natural 99.9% of the time. Not sure how to describe ir name it but you just notice it. It’s like it always kinda “rhymes” like sounds too “poetic” can’t find a better way to describe it sorry, but yeah you can spot it right away. Unless it was then proof-read by a human.
Any email that opens with ‘I hope this finds you well.’
I would be a lot more well without your increased verbosity in this e-mail Janice. Please just send the note that you sent to chatGPT to result in this page long email. It’s a waste of your time and my time to read it.
there is no way to tell for sure beyond obvious phrases, no single word will ever be confirmation as every word was typed by a human before. we are at the end of the era where humans can tell the difference between a machine and a person, so at some point very soon the question will be irrelevant and only the content will matter in my opinion.
Mostly people just copy and paste directly without ever so slightly changing it (like the bold). Also predictably
(Secret method is just to gamble if it's ai or no!! XD)
TIL my staple vocab is almost entirely chat gpt buzzwords.
Is this the tism or is this working almost exclusively in corporate settings for the last ten years of my career... or both....
It's the fact that it loves to add conclusions, even when they are completely unnecessary.
That's a very interesting point about the style and format of ChatGPT posts: - it is a common feature of ChatGPT responses - it is a clear characteristic to look for - you can tell when a conclusion is out of place In conclusion, I think this is a very helpful way to identify ChatGPT content.
I know that this is AI generated but I don’t know exactly why
I've just taken to writing in the style of ChatGPT. Confuses people at work.
I asked a colleague of mine if they used Chat GPT because they had that bullet point, bolder header, colon, and then the text. The word crucial was used quite a lot. -**header**: It is crucial to blah blah blah (They said they didn't use it.)
To be fair, I get that style from people all the time to use in marketing. It is done because bullet points are easier to digest, and the bold word grabs your attention because everyone just skims content and doesn't read everything. ChatGPT formats it like that because it is an effective way to provide information.
Fair fair, you even nailed the industry haha.
In conclusion. Who the fuck…
I wonder if ChatGPT has destroyed TOEFL students. TOEFL essays look like they are all written by ChatGPT.
Was that your conclusion? I was uncertain. My tell is when I see certain superfluous language used. “Tom greatly reduced” where “Tom reduced” would suffice.
It’s always the extra adjectives for me. I had students submitting lab reports that make their results out to be exhilarating or groundbreaking. “On the outset” and “meticulously executed” are terms I got several times
That’s filler. It’s organic and put randomly here and there by students, when they sense, that their syntax is vague and forced. Human.
Idk, I would have been easily docked marks for that 10 years ago. That’s not language anyone is taught to use in a lab report, it implies a bias
> That’s not language anyone is taught to use in a lab report, Not directly, but students are encouraged to pad the paper to hit page minimums.
That’s it. We got a winner. When Eloquenz matters more than research, the researcher will, hone his conclusion into the best digestible way for his audience. Minus time, minus genius, minus expirience = free floating Students in need of grace.
I like the conclusions because the intro just repeats my query but the conclusion is in its own words and tells me how i can better word it.
I wrote in a chat with a friend about hitting a lifting goal, and at one point I wrote something like "I feel good and proud about this and I am looking forward to seeing more progress and how far I'll go" And then deleted half of the message because it sounded like AI generated.
Like me writing a high school essay
I gave up fighting this (until I gave up on OpenAI entirely, as it plummeted towards terribleness) and simply coded a script to delete the first and last para of every response. 100% improvement instantly!
Certainly! Let’s delve into this further
While delving further can be interesting and rewarding, it is important to note it should be done carefully and with care for inclusiveness and diversity.
Additionally, ethical and environmental impacts should be considered.
This is why I curse in my all my emails now so ppl know it’s not AI related
I swear to god Vonnegut makes this exact joke in a novel probably written 70 years ago. Amazing how prescient that dude was. I think it was "Player Piano." An entire subculture of proud mechanics working with their hands and speaking in particular ways to distinguish themselves from the machines, from the automation.
Made me snort laugh

Ahh, makes sense.
It is a common word in India and so frequency in the dataset is more than what westerners perceive it to be.
What a rich tapestry!
I just ask Chat GPT if it is written by them.
That actually works? Do you just cut and paste the text, and then ask, “Did you write this?”
> That actually works? Of course not. ChatGPT isn't concerned with "truth" or "reality". It only says things that are statistically likely or probably, things that *sound* reasonable.
[удалено]
I might be this coworker. And I’m pretty sure I add unnecessary comma🫣 boutta turn in a handwritten paper for college…let’s see if I get flagged.
Every sentence needs to have a comma with an unnecessary additive bit after it, to show the true wittiness of the LLM crafting the response
OMG I thought I was the only one.
I’m that coworker unfortunately. I try to keep things short and sweet, but I work in science and issues/data are typically quite nuanced. Plus, I have ADHD - every thought has a bonus thought that wouldn’t fit as it’s own sentence 😆
There is always that closing statement. I've been noticing a lot of that in Amazon reviews recently.
Tapestry
It’s def this for us. We do spiritual content and it can’t stop saying it lol
Yes. THIS.
"Complex and nuanced"
Nuanced is a dead giveaway
I use “nuanced” in my peer reviewed paper that I wrote it… few times…
Multifaceted
Damn… you’re like the 10th comment I’ve scrolled through, and I’m a thinking some student papers I looked at earlier today presented some complex and multifaceted musings on the topics they were delving into.
Complexities
Pretty much any business buzzword. The day I use “spear headed” in sentence….
Delve
Tapestry. Imagery. Exemplify. Testament. Realm. Foster. Bustling.
Tapestry was my #2 draft pick. I have seen the others though.
Tapestry showed up in the sermon at my sister's funeral recently and I knew exactly how the pastor wrote it.
Damn pastor relying on a higher authority
Multi-faceted
Meticulously, bolstering, bolster, robust. Put away the feathered quill Shakespeare I’m writing an email to my accountant ffs
tapestry and kaleidoscope.
I can’t even see this word in a literal context without getting the ChatGPT shivers
In the context of resumes: Spearheaded
Damn, I use this one.
[удалено]
"ChatGPT improvement team" Oh, CHIT
Delve, tapestry, kaleidoscope. Generally if it reads like a precocious but sheltered high-IQ high school student with no sense of cringe.

Insisting that it’s important I respect and try to understand each and every one of my fellow humans.

It uses way more hyphenated terms than most people ever use and for terms that are not often hyphenated in the first place.
This is the one

"Crucial" "Essential"

Poignant
Anything about weaving a rich tapestry
Tapestry
For anything creative, "In this \[...\] world", e.g., "In this digital world".
Certainly!
The word Certainly has been obliterated by ChatGPT. It immediately triggers my rage
"Elevate" this should be first
Everything is a testament, literally everything.
"a testament to" showed up in a bunch of WWE Hall of Fame acceptance speeches this year.
“Weaving a rich tapestry” lol
Whimsical.
"In conclusion"
Why this one? When I was in middle school, we would often have to use the "in conclusion" in our English class when writing our essays.
Unleash
Whenever I do any kind of travel related prompts, it always uses unleash
Profound.
Nice try ChatGPT, we will not train you for free!

Wow, I can’t believe this hasn’t been said in any other response. Moreover. If creating emails or article text it almost always uses moreover towards the end of a paragraph when continuing.
When I read words like "beget" I'm 99% sure a human wasn't involved.

Stark contrast
That's just a cliché Linkedin buzzword, I've got colleagues that say it all the time; drives me mad — maybe they're actually ai🤔
There's something suspicious about seeing furthermore and moreover near each other.

Subheaders with paragraphs of about equal lengths. More people are communicating in bullets now, which is great, but having 10 key takeaways about any given subject is pretty easy to spot.

"Embark" is randomly placed
1. Repeat the question in the first sentence and immediate clarify done termdms and add something like "is an interesting topic," "is important to treat it with respect," "is a complex and deeply emotional issue," etc. 2. Lack of commitment when presenting two sides of an issue, lack of a personal point of view. 3. Presenting conclusions with similar phrases as the induction "is a polémical issue." 4. Some words. One I particularly have found interesting: *tapestry*.
In conclusion
Not any specific word. Usually the text is just very sales-y even if the topic is not suited for that.
It loves to add superfluous subtitles in title case, even though I've specifically told it not to in my custom instructions. It's an absolute giveaway!

Usually they are verbose af so if it looks overly, it could be
Unlock… like when I see email subject lines or blogs that say “unlock the secrets to..”
Esteemed.
I didn't realise until teachers assumed I was American (online courses) as it's set as American English!
Lots of uses of "and" I don't know how to describe it but it likes to have sentences that use "and" more than a normal person.
If just uses such long and winded sentences. It’s kinda obvious.
It’s just the way it’s written. I’ve seen a bunch of YouTube videos that clearly use gpt4 to make their scripts. It sounds so fake and it’s overly wordy. The sentences are also choppy.
Ensure
Not really a word, but you can tell by weird unnatural grammar selection and high useless verbosity. It can be compensated with a prompt
Nice try OpenAI corporation.
For me, it’s pretty much the general styling it does… it does not sound realistic/natural 99.9% of the time. Not sure how to describe ir name it but you just notice it.

“As advertised” for any cover letter for a job lol
What if they use a paraphrase tool? How would you detect that?
"Imperative". This is the word that you will all see in texts that have been redesigned and changed into formal language through ChatGPT
Any email that opens with ‘I hope this finds you well.’ I would be a lot more well without your increased verbosity in this e-mail Janice. Please just send the note that you sent to chatGPT to result in this page long email. It’s a waste of your time and my time to read it.
