Words and Phrases that Make it Obvious You Used ChatGPT
This made me wonder what other words and phrases are overused by ChatGPT. Below is a list of words and phrases that ChatGPT overuses, based on my interactions with ChatGPT.
Does this mean any text with the word “delve” was AI-generated? Nope! I know people who love to use these words in their writing. And that’s fine!
But it’s good to be aware of these words because they tend to be mechanical and vague. If you are using too many of them, your text may sound like it was AI-generated.
I asked ChatGPT to write a data analyst cover letter. I provided some made-up details, saying I’m applying for a data analyst role at Eventbrite and have 2 years of work experience as a Google data analyst.
I asked ChatGPT to help me write a LinkedIn note to a University of Virginia employee, expressing interest in a data analyst position.
Why does ChatGPT text sound bad? It’s as though you asked a million people to respond to your prompt, and ChatGPT gives you the “average” of all their responses. Its output will be generic and vague. ChatGPT won’t give you the best word for each scenario, it will just give you the most commonly used one.
