One of the most obvious tells in an #AI written article is the overuse of the word “important." Everything is always "It's very important to..." “We must remember the importance of…"

That and the gobs and gobs of filler sentences that state the obvious or don't tell you anything new you didn't know. "Here we are going to discuss why [this] and the benefits of [that]…”

@aburtch There’s more than a little “high school student trying to fill out the required page count for the essay” vibe.

Schools are superspreaders

@c_9 @aburtch Reading essays written by high school students is a big part of my job. About one in five students appear to be using tools like ChatGPT to write their papers. For the most part, it's easy to catch.

@pixplz @c_9 @aburtch TBF ChatGPT output sounds exactly like the formulatic high school essay bs as taught. And probably picked that up from all the garbage SEO spam it ingested written by humans applying those formulae.

@dalias @pixplz @c_9 @aburtch It's actually telling me a great deal, on a certain level, about -- I have no kind way to put this. Bullshit literacy? As in, the ability to spot bullshit at any pace count? Who's got it and who doesn't.
