Ever read someone’s content, whether on their social media captions, blogs, bio, or commentary, and you could tell that it was not them? You were almost impressed by their articulation, only to remember there is a cheat code. ChatGPT! The AI best friend that can turn a layperson into Shakespeare in seconds. Oh, and it offers unlimited assistance. It is always a courteous and reliable sweetheart. ChatGPT is learning every day; within a matter of time, it will even speak your soul language.
However, AI is designed to work with you not work for you. As you punch on your keyboard, requesting its assistance , be proactive. Do not relinquish your voice. Your target audience wants to relate with a human not a bot. In this article, I will teach you how to use chatGPT effectively, but before that ,this is how your audience can tell that your content is purely AI generated.
How to detect AI generated content in a single glance!
1.The tone of the content is too formal for the end-use.
The content having an unhealthy dose of corporate diction yet it was just meant for casual communication is a tell-tale sign of chatbot.
2.The grammar is too polished for a non-native speaker of the language.
Perhaps you have interacted with the author of the content before, and you know for a fact they are not literary experts yet the grammar on their writing has little to no errors. The sentence structure is perfect, there are no spelling or punctuation mistakes, the subject-verb agreement is on point and the content could not have been edited professionally, then that is another clue.
3. The text sounds generic meaning it lacks the person’s or brand’s tonality. It sounds like every other ad you skip without blinking. As you finish reading the text you realize there is no take away. It was just a string of words weaved together with no persuasive call to action.
4. The text is full of decorative language that almost sounds corny.
As much as the author of the text wants to be creative by using literary styles to enhance it, decorative text may sacrifice functionality for artistic effect.
5. Use of uncommon words or inappropriate jargon.
ChatGPT likes to show off its vocabulary. It uses rare synonyms of common words which end up giving the audience a headache while reading and they have to google or look up words in the dictionary to flow with the content.
6. Information is not up to date.
The last ChatGPT 3.5 update was two years ago. Imagine if you were looking up the president of a country whose elections happened after the last update.
5 easy steps to follow while using ChatGPT
- Have your original draft or a template ready. It does not matter how imperfect it seems.
- Give instructions to ChatGPT to edit your draft for grammar correctness and readability especially if you are not fluent in the language you are writing in.(Also , If your target audience is not meticulous on eloquence, the grammar does not have to be thoroughly polished).
- Instruct it to keep the message precise and concise i.e. without unnecessary hyperbole.
- After it generates the result, re-read your text and omit words or phrases that do not reflect your tonality.
- After refining the flow, fact-check the information in your content from credible internet sources before publishing or posting your content.
Lastly, be wary of using ChatGPT in academic assignments, assessments or literary application programs that are particular on originality and integrity. There are many sites to detect if your content was AI generated https://seo.ai/tools/ai-content-detector .
