If you use ChatGPT as much as I do, you are aware of a real problem: sometimes it sounds exactly like ChatGPT. The "voice" is a little too polished and uses phrases like "in today's fast-paced world." And while it uses words that I actually use like "game-changer," it uses them a little too much. Oh, and we can't forget the em dash, a beloved element that writers like me have used since we could hold a pencil.
While AI can be helpful, it is completely soulless at the same time. That’s fine if I’m asking for a list of cooking tips or help organizing my calendar. But when I’m writing something that needs to sound personal, thoughtful or even just normal, that overly smooth AI voice can ruin the whole thing.
I've even discovered that when I ask ChatGPT to "edit," it will suck the life out of the whole piece, making it sound "too good" in the wrong way.
