I've also noticed that ChatGPT tends to respond to short prompts, especially questions, in a predictable format. There are a few characteristics.
First, it tends to print a five-paragraph essay, with an introduction, three main points, and a conclusion.
Second, it signposts really well. Each of the body paragraphs is marked with either a bullet point or a number or something else that says "I'm starting a new point."
Third, it always reads like a WikiHow article. There's never any subtle humour or self-deprecation or ironic understatement. It's very straightforward, like an infographic.
It's definitely easy to recognize a ChatGPT response to a simple prompt if the author hasn't taken any measures to disguise it. The conclusion usually has a generic reminder that your mileage may vary and that you should always be careful.
- SquareWheel 3y agoI have to admit I'm struggling to tell if this was done ironically, but your comment is exactly a five paragraph essay with an introduction, three main points, and a conclusion. If so, nice meta-commentary.
