ChatGPT sounds like a high school essay that is trying to reach a word count goal

So here we are, in the early days of widely accessible AI tools. As it stands right now, I don’t think it will replace human writers and bloggers yet, but it is close. I’m sure there are already blogs out there churning out AI articles faster than anyone can read them.

Here is the blog post I had ChatGPT write for me:

“While some artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been trained to generate responses that are indistinguishable from human language, the overly formal style of many AI outputs can often give it away as artificial.

One of the key ways that the overly formal style of AI output can give it away as artificial is that it lacks the colloquialisms and idioms that are commonly used in human language. For example, an AI system may generate a response that is grammatically correct and well-constructed, but it may lack the informal language and slang that are commonly used in human conversation. This can make the AI’s responses sound robotic and unnatural, which can make it obvious that it is not a real person.

Another way that the overly formal style of AI output can give it away as artificial is that it often lacks the subtle nuances and inflections that are present in human language. For example, an AI system may generate a response that is technically correct, but it may lack the tone and emphasis that a human would use in a similar situation. This can make the AI’s responses sound flat and unengaging, which can make it obvious that it is not a real person.

Overall, while some AI systems have been trained to generate responses that are indistinguishable from human language, the overly formal style of many AI outputs can often give it away as artificial. As AI technology continues to advance, it will be important for developers to focus on creating systems that can generate responses that are more natural and human-like in order to avoid giving away their artificial nature.”

I mean wow, but like the AI itself points out, it does feel very empty of emotion. It is kind of an uncanny valley feeling, but I am still amazed and won’t be surprised if it only takes a few years before I won’t be able to tell AI writing from human writing at all.

How do you feel about this? Do you think human writers are going to go extinct, or is AI fundamentally incapable of capturing that human feeling?
