Chris Trottier on Nostr: For the first time in a while, nobody on Reddit has accused one of my long effort ...
For the first time in a while, nobody on Reddit has accused one of my long effort posts of sounding like AI.
My secret?
I took my normal writing style—the one you’re reading right now—and told ChatGPT to make it sound like a Redditor.
Lowercase. Apostrophes ripped out. Barely any punctuation. Short paragraphs. Simple words. No polish. Nothing too clean.
And suddenly I’m more “authentic.”
Which is funny as hell because I’m clearly not.
Apparently, sounding human now means making the writing shittier on purpose.
But congratulations.
Less “slop.”
