It was weird how easy this was to identify if you have read any amount of ChatGPT content. It has a particular writing style that is pretty obvious.

I am not sure how you would code something to detect an author based on writing style. It feels like something people would have tried to do before. Probably using a similar approach that LLMs use but with a separate predictor for specific authors.

ChatGPT in particular writes in middle school essay format: introduction, point 1, point 2, point n, conclusion.
It's because it reads exactly like every middle schooler writing their first MLA formatted five paragraph essay.
