When AI gives itself away

It is harder to identify, but AI has its own writing style.

AI has its own style when asked to write copy. A Reddit thread entitled “What’s your personal ‘tell’ word to identify ChatGPT-generated text?” shows hundreds of comments from users who have identified linguistic quirks, such as:

  • Unnecessary conclusions 
  • Bullet point lists that run 8-10 items long
  • Excessive adjectives like “greatly reduced” instead of just “reduced”
  • Frequent use of specific words and phrases such as “streamline", "tapestry", and "delve"

For those using generated text with chatbots that have a memory, you can tell it to avoid words and phrases that sound too much like an AI response.
