Since the arrival of AI and the growth of AI content writers (like ChatGPT), many bloggers or content writers now depend solely on it for content creation. What many might not know is there is always an easy way to depict someone who has used an AI tool like ChatGPT for crafting their article.
In this article, we will be discussing the Expressions and Words that Clearly Indicate the Use of ChatGPT. So, if you are using ChatGPT for your article writing or rewriting, you will want to read this article till the end.
What is ChatGPT ?
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI that you can have conversations with. It launched in late November 2022. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
- Conversational: ChatGPT is designed to simulate natural conversation, allowing you to steer the discussion in a certain direction. You can provide prompts and ask follow-up questions like you would in a regular conversation.
- Multi-purpose: ChatGPT can answer your questions, help you with tasks like composing emails or code, and even generate different creative text formats.
- Continuously Learning: It uses a combination of supervised learning and reinforcement learning from human feedback to improve. This means it can learn from interactions with users and get better at responding over time.
There’s also a free version you can try out that uses a model called GPT-4o. They also have paid tiers that offer access to more powerful models and features.
Expressions and Words that Clearly Indicate the Use of ChatGPT
The question, “Is this one word the shortcut to detecting AI-written work?” was in a Financial Review article.
What word was it? Delve
I too have used ChatGPT for content generation and can say for sure the word “Delve” is one amongst many of the easily detectable words ChatGPT uses very often when writing, especially in the intro part of articles you generate using it.
On Twitter, ChatGPT made light of the situation by joking, “Don’t mind me just doing some delving today.”
What more terms and expressions does ChatGPT overuse, one could wonder. Based on my conversations with ChatGPT, I’ve compiled a list of terms and expressions that it overuses below.
Remember that this does not preclude you from using these terms or phrases before moving forward.
Furthermore, no text that contains the term “delve” was produced by AI. However, because these words are often ambiguous and mechanical, it’s a good idea to be aware of them. If you overuse them, your writing could come across as artificial intelligence-generated.

- “Leveraging complex datasets to extract meaningful insights”
Other signs that text may have been written by ChatGPT:
- Overly complex sentence structures
- An unusually formal tone in text that’s supposed to be conversational or casual — or, an overly casual tone for a text that’s supposed to be formal or business casual
- Unnecessarily long and wordy
- Vague statements
Our take on this
How come ChatGPT text sounds so awful? ChatGPT provides you with the “average” of all the responses you received as if you had asked a million individuals to answer to your prompt. It will produce ambiguous and general results. ChatGPT will only provide you with the term that is most frequently used, not the ideal word for every situation.
Even with current techniques (such as GPTZero), there is no 100% reliable method for identifying text composed by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence software could always produce text to dodge these kinds of detectors. Additionally, as AI technologies advance, ChatGPT text detectors and detector-evaders engage in an arms race.
It can’t harm to stay away from the terms and expressions mentioned in this article as ChatGPT develops. Make your writing sound more human by using precise, understandable language and concrete examples. For instance, you can instruct ChatGPT to produce draft text, and then you can work with ChatGPT to revise and add authenticity to the material.
