I have almost completely stopped writing real in my own output as a direct consequence of this. Maybe next year they'll catch up with my alternative wordings and I'll end up switching back
I’ve started learning into the various AI-isms in my prompts. Most recently, em dashes to chain related information in a single sentence.
“Something something main point — but also pay attention to this related thing — finish main point.”
Anecdotally, it seems to produce more consistent results when I “speak its language”.
On the output side, I’ve become much more aggressive about trimming and editing any prose it produces that I intend on sharing. Both for my own benefit to improve comprehension, but also because dumping the raw, verbose output on my colleagues feels lazy and disrespectful of their time.
What’s interesting is that it maps well to how my brain actually works. My chain of thought is very non-linear. Maybe even a little chaotic, going off on tangents before returning to the main thread as it were. This has always made written and verbal communication a bit of a challenge, but the AI seems to parse my unedited stream-of-consciousness without issue.
This is what I've noticed lately. I write articles and over the past year or two I had to stop using specific words or change my writing style a bit many times, because people kept asking if it was AI. It just makes me sad when I show someone my work and the first thing they say is "Is this AI"?
