        I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but every god damn thing ChatGPT spits out has the same cadence or structure. Something about how it lays out points and wraps it up, and its usage of commas, is so noticeable to me.

          Tbf I also form sentences like this when I’m not being a total bitch and dunking on fools.

          Hmm. As an overuser of commas myself, I better try to tone that down.

            I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily overuse of commas, it’s how it consistently uses them the same way in nearly every response. It’s something about the overall structure of what it spits out. I wish a linguist would pop in and break it down for me. It’s a combination of tone, tense, arrangement of the sentences, how the paragraphs are put together - all of it feels very samey to me, unless it’s prompted otherwise.

            There’s only a few “styles” of sentences it spits out and to me, it seems quite obvious. Humans don’t write that consistently all the time, they’re messier.

              Ok, good, that makes sense. I was getting worried for a minute.

            I feel you. My thoughts often spill out that way, too.

          To me, ChatGPT always sounds like a high school freshman submitting a half-assed English paper.

          Yep the same thing if you make it roleplay as characters in a conflict. It always tries to find middle ground and end it

          Lots of compound sentences. And a “tone” suitable for USA Today. At least, that’s the vibe I get from ChatGPT.

        If you look closely you can tell it was typed with 6-finger hands
