| Unfortunately the internet is just going to be these ChatGPT comments now, isn't it. |

| I am a human being, but I have been training on ChatGPT conversations for a few years, is it starting to show? |

| ▲ | ben_w 2 days ago | parent [-] | | FWIW, I was using em-dash before it was actively the opposite of cool. | | |
| ▲ | catigula 2 days ago | parent [-] | | It's not just that, this construction: > This isn't X, this is Y is a huge ChatGPT signal. | | |
| ▲ | dspillett 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | But surely it is only a ChatGPT signal because it was a strong signal in the training data. You need more than one strong signal with that sort of potential for false positives to make a reasonably accurate identification. | |
| ▲ | ben_w 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | If it is, it's one I've neither heard others mention before nor seen often enough myself to consider it a tell (but for the latter, I do use ChatGPT's customisation options). | |
| ▲ | edflsafoiewq a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | I love how completely prosaic phrases are now "ChatGPT signals". |

| Do we really think an account that's been here since 2009 and claims to be a software developer is using ChatGPT to write comments on Hacker News? |
| |
| ▲ | catigula 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I think that people aren't farming out work to ChatGPT as you've imagined, but moreso using it to "help them write" if they're poor writers. | | |
| ▲ | hermannj314 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Dude, half my stuff on here is downvoted. I am not a good writer, but I do my best. My opinions and thoughts are my own and I am not using ChatGPT to make hot takes on hacker news, but I do use ChatGPT and have conversations with it. Sometimes when I talk to British people, I start to do an accent a little bit. I think I just chameleon my tone to recent conversations, but I can't convince you otherwise. Unrelatedly, there is a upended tortoise outside my house struggling in the heat. I am not sure why I refuse to help him, can you tell me why? | | |
| ▲ | c420 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | The classic Chatgpt "upended tortoise" tangent. This guy, I swear | |

| ▲ | johnnyanmac a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | what in that top comment made you suspicious of ChatGPT usage? It doesn't seem to be that tone at all. |

| I checked; their post has good ol' fashioned hyphens, no em-dashes, so it's less likely to be slop. |
| |
| ▲ | catigula 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Stated above, not just em-dash, but the following: > This isn't X, this is Y This is ChatGPT's favorite rhetorical flourish without exception. | | |
