| Genuinely fascinating! I'd show you the instances on Reddit of similar comments where people admitted it after I pointed it out, but unfortunately I don't really want to link my accounts. You're also free to confirm in my HN history that in hundreds of comments (and tens of thousands read), this is the single one time I've pointed it out. I did do a cross-check of their profile to confirm it, just in case it was a false positive - don't want to accuse anyone if I'm not 100% sure, because it's indeed technically possible that someone simply has the exact same writing style as the default ChatGPT assistant. Here's the entire comment, dissected to make the structure and patterns clearer. > As a __, __. > However, it's crucial that ___. > While __, ___ is risky. > ___ highlight the importance of __ in __. > We need to ___ to __. Any single one of these sentences on their own wouldn't be enough. It's the combination, the dosage that I mentioned. If you're interested in hard data that explores this phenomenon (although outdated/an older version of GPT), here's an article [1]. In a year or so, if you do the same analysis on "However, it's crucial that", you'll discover the same trend as the article showed for "a complex and multifaceted concept". Maybe the author would be open to sharing the code, or rerunning the experiment. [1] https://blog.j11y.io/2023-11-22_multifaceted/ |

it could be an exposure thing. I don't interface with this AI stuff at all, much less every day. So I'm not going to pick up on patterns like that.
