Yeah,

And thanks for staying on topic.

Not a specific phrase, but if you ask ChatGPT to write fiction, it produces triplets of sentence fragments in the form, "Not ... Not... But"

"She stared intently into the limpid pools of eyes. Not with lust. Not with love. But with a longing that pierced her soul."

Recently, there was a very popular and prolific Loving Wives author whose writing consistently used/overused this formulation. Not once. Not twice. But 87 times in a ~14,000-word story (Yes, I counted, that's just the way my brain works).

I think they were eventually tagged for possible AI use because they left the site in a huff, but not before publishing over a dozen very popular and highly rated stories.

Not ... Not... But"

Not this. But that.

Ugh it drives me crazy when I see this.

Like it would most old-fashioned editors. They’d prefer a dash or a comma for an abrupt pause or emphasis. But there are cases where a period is needed to show a long “breath”-- a deliberative pause that neither a comma nor a dash quite captures.

"Not ... Not... But"

So, no anal?

Or nothing but anal?

yeah I have no problem with the grammar. I’m talking about it’s frequent use of antithetical parallelism, syncrisis, parataxis, etc… to make a clever sounding but utterly unimportant point.

Not because X, but because Y.
Not just A, but B
More than a blahhh; it’s a blehhh

to be clear I love me some rhetorical devices. And I adore good rhetoric. But it’s kind of a tell that someone is using ChatGPT when they’re using parallelism to make the blandest-ass point ever lol

Then he thrust inside her, not anally nor orally, but vaginally

I saw a Youtuber today include about 15 cutesy similes in a 9 minute video. It was so frequent and predictable that it felt like an AI script, but the similes were too clever, human and on-point for it to have actually been an AI script. Still, AI "style" is polluting regular content now, even if it's just the perception of AI "style."

This is absolutely the tell. LLMs can generate an infinite supply of parallelisms and couplets and linguistic tricks, but it doesn't know WHEN to generate them.

"She waited for the bus while cradling the urn containing her husband's ashes. Not with anticipation, not with trepidation, but with the serene knowledge that it would arrive within five minutes of the posted schedule."

Thanks Chat, not the most important element of this scene

There's several things that I've seen.

"That matters."
"It is seen."

I've never heard a real human being say, "Hey, your work is seen."

Coworker: "Hey, I wanted to let you know your work is seen."
Me: "I'd hope so, since you were supposed to read my report."
Coworker: "ChatGPT read it. It told me to tell you it was seen."

"Something something that would change everything."

Everything comes out as the most dramatic, edge of your seat revelatory turn of events.

Some of the YouTube AI voices are getting harder to tell, especially when they have a good script. If you listen long enough though, it does become obvious, but it takes a little longer than it used to.

In my "Tell Me About Naked Mole Rats" chat parody, I use one that Llama 3 likes to use, when you ask it to behave like a psychotherespist:
"What fascinates you about it? Is it the power dynamic involved, the chemistry, or something else entirely?"

"Is it A, B, or "something else entirely?"

Answer: No, it's actually softmax(logits).

 

[redgarters]

That matters...
The kind of...
Not... not... but...
Em dashes in every third sentence.

The absolute worst thing is when you publish a story and read through it, and find that you've actually written something like one of these giveaways because you've seen so many iterations of it in all kinds of text that they're starting to feel like actual language!

The best description of ChatGPT that I've seen is that it's like the guy you meet at the water cooler/coffee machine at work, and he ALWAYS has the answer to everything. Happy guy. Eager to please. 100% sure of himself. The problem is that he doesn't know if he's lying or not.

And "The Cactus Effect" should be a real, scientific AI term.

My name for chatGPT when it first came out was Mansplaining As A Service. I've seen no reason to change that moniker.
