What are the most obvious ChatGPT sayings?

Previously we’ve studied the most commonly used ChatGPT words and phrases

Here we’re taking a look at not only the most common ChatGPT sayings but the most obvious ones — the dead giveaways that the text you’re reading was generated by a large language model (LLM).

There are several sayings that ChatGPT often defaults to, which can help readers identify when AI writing was used to produce content. Keep an eye out for some of these common and obvious ChatGPT terms in what you’re reading.

Then, maintain transparency in the content you publish with the industry-leading Originality.ai AI Checker.

Key Takeaways (TL;DR)

How ChatGPT Language Patterns Form

Much has been made recently about the sources that ChatGPT uses for AI training to improve its outputs (which has led to several OpenAI lawsuits). If it is constantly learning from the same content well, then the output is likely to start seeming very similar.

It’s one of the main reasons that leading generative AI companies are so keen to expand and increase their training data otherwise they may risk these issues becoming even more prominent.

Let’s take a look at an example. If the word ‘carrot’ appeared regularly in the training data, it means it’s more likely to appear in the ChatGPT output.

3 of The Most Obvious ChatGPT Sayings

1. As a large language model…

A dead giveaway that text has been generated by ChatGPT or an LLM is when the generated phrase includes the statement: “As a large language model…” 

In 2022, shortly after the launch of ChatGPT, TechCrunch reported on the chatbot. 

In one of the generated responses quoted in the article, the chatbot stated, “As a large language model trained by OpenAI…” highlighting this obvious ChatGPT saying.

2. My training data…

Another phrase that clearly indicates text is generated by ChatGPT or AI, is the phrase “My training data…

AI training data for LLMs often has a specific cutoff date or a date up to which the particular model is trained. 

For instance, OpenAI’s AI model documentation states that a number of its models are trained up until data from September 30, 2023, including:

So, a section of generated text that includes “my training data,” is a strong indication of AI-generated text.

For instance, in the same TechCrunch article, the generated text included quotes such as:

  • “Overall, my training data is a very large and diverse collection of text data…”
  • “My training data was sourced from a wide range of sources…”

3. Paragraphs that start with “Absolutely” or “Certainly”

Paragraphs that start with “absolutely” or “certainly” are common and obvious indications that text was generated by ChatGPT.

To test it out we asked ChatGPT a quick, general question: “Can you tell me about ChatGPT?”

In response, it said: “Absolutely! Here's a simple and friendly overview of ChatGPT…

3. Paragraphs that start with “Absolutely” or “Certainly”

We then asked another question: “Can you tell me more about AI training?

Once again ChatGPT created a response that began with “Absolutely”: “Absolutely! Training AI—especially large models like ChatGPT—is a complex but fascinating process.

3. Paragraphs that start with “Absolutely” or “Certainly”

Then, yet again, in response to the further question: “Could you describe deep learning?

ChatGPT replied with “Absolutely!”: “Absolutely! Deep learning is one of the most exciting and powerful parts of AI today…

3. Paragraphs that start with “Absolutely” or “Certainly”

Then, “Certainly” is another common ChatGPT saying (but more on that below!).

Common ChatGPT Sayings, According to Our Research

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the most common ChatGPT phrases. 

Below, we’ve included a chart highlighting some of the more commonly used ChatGPT words based on our analysis including over 10 million words and phrases.

For more insight into our research, dataset, and methodology, check out our complete study: Most Commonly Used ChatGPT Words & Phrases.

Common ChatGPT words Count from our dataset
Unique 4479
Additionally 3638
Finally 3103
Conclusion 1841
Journey 1835
Difference 1654
Certainly 1616

In an incredibly ironic turn of events, ‘unique’ was a frequently used word.

Perhaps it’s due to users trying to prompt ChatGPT to produce unique, high-quality content.

Then, some other words that ChatGPT commonly used based on our analyses included: additionally, finally, conclusion, journey, difference, and certainly. 

Words like, ‘journey’ or ‘certainly’ are a familiar sight at the beginning of generated text, which can make it feel stale or bland (one of the issues with AI writing).

Can Humans Tell if Text or Content Is AI-Generated?

Despite obvious sayings like “as a large language model,” “my training data,” or the use of words like “absolutely” or “certainlyhumans struggle to identify AI text according to multiple research studies.

So, how can you tell if a text was AI-generated or human-written? That’s where AI detection comes in.

The Impact of Overusing These AI Sayings in Your Content

Of course, there are times when the terms listed above are necessary, and other terminology simply won’t do!

However, if you rely on these phrases too often, and as readers become more familiar with the intricacies of AI  content, it may cause them to mistrust the content.

Not only that, but being too formulaic with your content often makes it bland, stale, and uninspiring, three things that are guaranteed to turn your audience away from future content, not to mention the impact it can have on your Google rankings.

When it comes to content marketing, it’s easy to fall into the trap of simply thinking, ‘More is good.’ But that isn’t necessarily the case if the content doesn’t provide genuine support or guidance and engage your audience. 

Focus on quality, people-first content, and your unique brand voice to stand out from the crowd.

Final Thoughts

While these phrases are certainly the most common, simply spotting them in content is not enough to determine whether or not it is AI-generated.

To do that effectively, you need an industry-leading AI content detector to call upon. Check out the Originality.ai AI Checker today to confidently know how content is getting produced.
