Comments and essays (I'm a teacher) are the obvious culprits but I've straight up noticed the "that's not X, it's y" structure being said out loud more often than it used to be in video essays and other similar content. When I started noticing it, I was like, "Hold up. Did they get chatGPT to write their script?" Now I know that linguistic style existed before GPT, and it was common enough, but now I just can't unsee or unhear it. So even if someone wrote the entire thing themselves, as soon as I see that structure even in spoken language (oh and don't even get me started on the em dashes in written forms, come on people at least edit that out before pressing send), I will assume AI was involved. I'm not necessarily mad about it, but it does make me cringe a bit whenever I hear someone use that very normal phrase. It's just ruined for me now. I feel bad because someone at some point surely uses it because they enjoyed talking like that before chatGPT, but now it's tainted. Makes me grimace just a bit on the inside. It's just a shame that such a common phrase irks me now. Edit: See the chatGPT replies are funny because they fit the punchline here. It also works because they illustrate what I'm talking about. That said, it's probably gonna get old after the 20th ChatGPT generated response. Do switch it up at some point in the comments. Like, maybe write something JUST like GPT would, except it didn't, and the twist was that it was human-made. Anyway, love the comebacks. Don't let it get stale. Edit 2: okay yall I'm running out of funny responses to your chatGPT generated comments. Switch it up, or I won't keep dramatically retaliating. Edit 3: Too many comments. I'm sorry, yall, I can't keep being that funny to so many new people. But thank you for contributing thus far. Anyway, now I have too much karma on my account, and I look like a loser. Thanks a lot, yall 😒
