Unpopular opinion coming up.....that is a sign you're using AI, actually chatgpt. And I'm with you I love chat gpt, and I use it almost everyday and it's creeping more and more into my life. BUT - I annoyed myself with it the other week. I had used it to help me write an email, it was a very busy week and I skimmed it . Yep that's good. Hit send, I read the email a few days later and you know what it was boring, it didn't sound like me, it sounded like chat gpt.
I can see the signs, there's a formula, the emojis, the layout, the bold text and sub headings. and phrases like 'here's the truth', rhetorical questions- and we don't speak like that, not really , not in everyday life. But the big giveaway is the double hyphen thingy. I actually can't even find it on my keyboard I'd need to paste it from chat gpt. (—)
Why am I banging on about it - because I really do love chatgpt and other AI programs, I have been using them for over 3 years now in various parts of my business. But human training, human prompts and editing is the most important way to make sure your content is still you!
So please delete the big hyphens, change some of those daft words and use it to help not do the work for you.
