chat gpt

Chat gpt is fun. I like to use it to test my critical thinking and arguing. It’s interesting to throw an idea at it, push back, refine a thought, see how something can be framed differently. As a tool, it’s clever. Useful. Even impressive.

But I hate when you can tell when people are it on the daily.

There’s a very specific tone that gives it away. Polished but empty. Overly balanced. Slightly too neat. Messages that say a lot without really saying anything. You can feel when a human hasn’t actually sat with the thought themselves.

And it’s starting to creep into places it really shouldn’t.

Those hidden phrases in text messages, why are we using it to text!!!! Texts used to feel personal. Messy. Impulsive. They sounded like someone. Now they’re starting to read with perfect grammar, neutral tone, emotionally correct but somehow emotionally flat. No quirks. No edges. No personality leaking through.

I miss personality in text. I miss the badly worded message that still somehow feels warmer than a perfectly constructed paragraph. I miss people sounding like themselves instead of like a softened, optimised version of what they think they should say.

There’s something unsettling about outsourcing our voices. Using AI to help think is one thing. Using it to replace how we communicate feels different. Communication isn’t meant to be perfect. It’s meant to be human. Full of pauses, tone, humour, mistakes, emotion.

When everyone starts sounding the same, we lose the small details that make connection real. The way someone phrases something. The way they ramble. The way they over-explain or don’t explain enough.

I don’t want my messages to sound impressive. I want them to sound like me.

Use Chat gbt to think. Use it to challenge yourself. Use it to sharpen ideas. But don’t let it flatten your voice. Personality is messy and imperfect, and that’s the point.
