the ’ and — characters are kinda giveaways, besides the advertising feel of the text, maybe if they were using gpt it was as a translation aide?
(Noticeably absent is the em-dash in this message because my grammarly alternative is a chrome extension and I’m currently responding from my mobile device that does not have it.)
This whole thing is frustrating because I know all of these language models were trained on reddit and I was an early and frequent commenter. So a lot of my style is also the bot's style.
Humans use them too, you know. I've used the em dash (—) and opening/closing single quote characters (‘’) ever since I read Butterick's Practical Typography.
