alt Hacker NewsThe way to make AI not sound like ChatGPT is to use Claude.
I realized that's what bothered me. It's not "oh my god, they used ChatGPT." But "oh my god, they couldn't even be bothered to use Claude."
It'll still sound like AI, but 90% of the cringe is gone.
If you're going to use AI for writing, it's just basic decency to use the one that isn't going to make your audience fly into a fit of rage every ten seconds.
That being said, I feel very self conscious using emdashes in current decade ;)

I don't use LLM for writing just factual research stuff. And this would happen even in those questions.

I love em dashes—they basically indicate a more deliberate pause than a … without the tight vibes of a semicolon.
If a reader gets angry simply because the author used ChatGPT instead of Claude, then the reader is an idiot.
