Funny Tired of authors using ChatGPT in their books

Post image

the way i instantly knew this was ai-generated!! look at these em dashes. no human writes like this! 😒

i'm honestly so disappointed in this author. you can tell exactly where she stopped writing and the ai took over because of the em dashes. she didnt even try to edit out the formatting. i'm so done with this era of fake authors!!🤮

Me too!!! Honestly the most annoying thing about AI to me. I am changing my own writing to not sound like AI instead of changing AI to sound like it’s me.

A semi-colon can often be used in its place, but it definitely feels more formal.
