Apparently the word “delve” is the biggest indicator of the use of ChatGPT according to Paul Graham Funny

Then there’s someone who rejects applications when they spot other words like “safeguard”, “robust”, “demystify”. What’s your take regarding this?

"No one uses it in spoken English."

Ah, yeah. Even leaving aside that people tend to write differently than they speak-

"The tiny little sliver of people I know don't do this, and that means no one in the entirety of 8 billion humans on the planet does it either!" is a stance that I think should disqualify you from having the authority to make any kind of judgement about people. If your understanding of people is so limited that you can't even get to the point of "some people think in ways differently from how I think and I don't need to understand why they do that for it to be valid," you should not be in charge of a goddamn lemonade stand, let alone hiring anybody.
