šŸ˜ŗ How to not sound like ChatGPT

PLUS: #CopyC(laude)ats!

Welcome, humans.

Caught a headline yesterday that read, ā€œThe Japanese government is planning to test an AI system to better detect wild bears.ā€ Easily the headline of the year. Side note: if we have this type of technology, shouldnā€™t we be using it to find socks that disappear in the laundry?!

Hereā€™s what you need to know about AI today:

  • How to write with ChatGPT (& avoid sounding like it).

  • Anthropic launched Claude Team, its version of ChatGPT Team.

  • Both Anthropic and Gemini now offer mobile apps!

  • CoreWeave just bagged $1.1B at a $19B valuation for its AI chips.

On the podcast: Was gpt2-chatbot actually GPT-5?, crazy internal Microsoft emails, and Californiaā€™s new AI bill (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube).

How to spot ChatGPT writing, and how to avoid sounding like it.

You know that feeling when you read an email and can just kinda tell that itā€™s written by ChatGPT? Or when you draft an email with ChatGPT that just sounds too AI-y?

Yeah, us too.

Itā€™s not all about the vibeā€”ChatGPT has its own style preferences, just like us.

LOL

We analyzed 327 comments from the Reddit thread ā€œWhatā€™s your personal ā€˜tellā€™ word to identify ChatGPT-generated text?ā€ to break down ChatGPTā€™s linguistic quirks.

Here are some giveaways:

  • Unnecessary conclusions.

  • Bullet point lists that run 8-10 items long.

  • Excessive adjectives, like "greatly reduced" instead of simply "reduced".

  • Frequent use of specific words/phrases such as "streamline", "tapestry", and "delve".

ChatGPT loves using ā€œdelveā€ so much that the # of research papers featuring ā€œdelveā€ has exploded since 2002. Coincidence? I think notā€¦

For those who often draft emails or documents using ChatGPT, one handy feature of ChatGPT Plusā€™ new Memory option is telling it to skip words/phrases that scream AI:

Another tip: For any writing you do frequently, consider training ChatGPT/Claude on samples of your styleā€”hereā€™s a handy prompt you can use for this:

Claude announces new updates that ChatGPT already has.

Yesterday, Anthropic launched its Team Planā€”a way for teams of 5+ to use all of Claudeā€™s models with more allowed chats and a context window of 200K (= ~500 pages of content).

If Claude Team rings a bell, well, itā€™s cause OpenAI launched essentially the exact same thing with ChatGPT Team in January. #CopyC(laude)ats!

As usual, ChatGPT Team offers a slightly better package:

  • access to GPTs.

  • dedicated workspace.

  • only a 2-person team minimum

  • voice features.

Claudeā€™s secret weapon is its context limit, which lets you summarize and ā€œtalkā€ to ~500 pages of content. In contrast, ChatGPT Team supports just 32K tokens, or ~50 pages.

P.S. In the coming weeks, look out for new Claude Team features like integrations with data repositories such as CRMs and codebases, along with more citations to verify Claudeā€™s outputs.

P.P.S. Anthropic launched an iOS app for Claudeā€”download it here!

Thursday Trivia.

Adobe's newest image model, Firefly 3, has reportedly enhanced its photorealism capabilities (think making AI seem real). How long until dating apps are flooded with bogus accounts where everyone's a 10/10? Oh wait, thatā€™s already a thingā€¦

One glance, everyone knows the rules: one image is AI-generated, and the other is real.

Which is which?
