Has anyone figured out how to get ChatGPT to write something like this?

sn0w_crash • Jul 13, 2022 • View on HN

You gotta wonder if some of these things are written by GPT-3

BoxOfRain • Jul 23, 2021 • View on HN

This sounds like it was written by GPT-3.

GPT still writes like a highschooler trying to hit a high word count :(

doof_warrior • Feb 6, 2021 • View on HN

Cant help but think this is GPT-3 generated.

What do you mean, can you ask chatGPT to write the contents of of some book, and it would just regurgitate them?

teshier-A • Nov 10, 2020 • View on HN

It reads like GPT-3... And it's not a compliment.

akbarian • Mar 7, 2023 • View on HN

The whole blogpost was written by ChatGPT. At least put some effort to tweak the output. ChatGPT's default style is easy to spot and boring to read.

Text generated by GPT-3 usually makes more sense than your comments.

Apt for ChatGPT which literally has no capacity to think outside of the process of writing.
