One of the first times I showed GPT output to one of my friends he said this sounded like me. At the time I figured it would just sound like whoever was using it. Now I realize it's the way I talk and communicate. I am an ADHD pod person.

    A couple of the first times I used ChatGPT, I thought it sounded like my type of writing, but somewhere along the way it seems to have lost the plot.

    I don't put section headers with emoji's on every one, for one. I guess people being asked "what's better" picks tabulated and pictorial information formats over not.

    Literally the first conversation I had with it I asked it what it's favorite emoji was. It told me it doesn't use them because they're unprofessional and ambiguous and it wants to be clear. I asked it so many ways and it never ever would use one. Now? They're everywhere. It's so dumb. But honestly if that's what it takes to make it more obvious something is AI, so be it. I've gotten a few answers on StackExchange sites that use that style that are 100% AI.

    I’ve started putting anti prompts into my emails to fuck with people that summarise my replies with AI.

    If anything the history of typos and edits should clear any air about whether or not this was me!
