The article explains that people have become increasingly good at spotting ChatGPT written text because it leans on predictable tricks that feel artificial once you know what to look for. It calls out habits like unnecessary quotation marks, random bullet points, and the overuse of em dashes, along with the tendency to use the “not this, but that” sentence pattern that often sounds forced in everyday writing. The author also warns that AI relies heavily on the rule of threes and produces tidy, orderly prose that lacks the small bits of chaos and personality that humans naturally introduce. He argues that chatbot writing often ends up saying very little because it cannot draw from lived experience, and he encourages people to be thoughtful when using AI so their communication still feels intentional and human.
