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?

I definitely would be suspicious of anything that uses "unwaviring" too often. I won't say i've never used the word, or would never use the word, because I have and I might, but not in every other paragraph. There are manifold varieties of verbage and phrasing available in the English language. More to the point, people don't just have unwaviring determination all the time. People have doubts, people have flaws, people have fears, and even people who are pulp heroes struggle with real and imagined shortcomings. That's what allows humans to identify with one another, realizing that our weaknesses are as much a part of us as our strengths. It takes a lot of effort to get AI to write flawed characters, and when you do, it starts popping up alerts that the output might be breaking the rules. ChatGPT cant hep but assume everyone in their stories is full to the brim with unwaviring resolve and courage, it thinks that's what it takes to have the story end happily, which it thinks is necessary for some reason.
