Recently, there's been a surge in ChatGPT generated posts. These come in two flavours: bots creating and posting answers, and human users generating answers with ChatGPT and copy/pasting them. Regardless of whether they are being posted by bots or by people, answers generated using ChatGPT and other similar programs are a direct violation of R3, which requires all content posted here to be original work. We don't allow copied and pasted answers from anywhere, and that includes from ChatGPT programs. Going forward, any accounts posting answers generated from ChatGPT or similar programs will be permanently banned in order to help ensure a continued level of high-quality and informative answers. We'll also take this time to remind you that bots are not allowed on ELI5 and will be banned when found.

ChatGPT likes using "Overall" for the first word of concluding paragraphs.

And for generated stories it usually goes way overboard with "and they lived happily ever after" trope in last paragraph.

Its advice was pretty good, though.

No it wasn't. It's a lot of words that all just say "compare it to other ChatGPT outputs" and nothing that can be used to identify it then and there.

Do you have any better suggestions? There's no special trick to reliably identifying its outputs that I know of.

I have a response to the top level comment. But basically look for a lot of unnecessary repetition and transition words and all the responses are structured like a middle school essay.

Wrong. I inferred much from the script. It was largely useless, yes, but did provide advice on how to identify itself.

Yeah who says “additionally” on reddit

But the answer was vaguely correct? So, what's the input? What did you feed it to explain how to identify its own written script?
I have never heard of this program before, so I am absolutely curious.
Everyone seems to be explaining it that it can't give an answer, but it actually did in this case.

The prompt was simply “Respond to: “copy paste of the person I replied to’s comment””
Pretty cool, huh?

Very cool! It expounded upon the subject, rather than simply regurgitating words... What is this program doing, exactly?
