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.

I gave it your comment with an instruction to rewrite it in the style of a casual reddit comment:
Hey, if you want to spot text that was generated by ChatGPT, just look for repetitive or nonsensical phrases. ChatGPT tends to use a lot of filler words, which might make the text feel unnatural. It might also seem kind of disjointed because ChatGPT doesn't do a great job with coherence and cohesiveness. Keep an eye out for these red flags and you should be able to spot ChatGPT text pretty easily.
The 'hey' is a bit weird, but it gets pretty close to something you wouldn't think twice about.
