Am I missing something? The article seems to suggest it works via hidden text characters. Has OpenAI never heard of pasting text into a utf8 notepad before?

    Am I the only one who rewrites most of ChatGPT’s output into my own words because it’s “voice” is garbage anyway? I ask it to write me a cover letter and that gives me a rough outline and some points to make, but I have to do massive editing to avoid redundancy, awkward phrasing, outright lies, etc.

    I can’t imagine turning in raw ChatGPT output. I had one of my developers use Bing AI to write code and submitted that shit raw and it was immediately obvious because some relatively simple code has really weird artifacts like overwriting a value that had no reason to even be touched.

      For me I find it sounds too much like a marketing person or something I’d see in an ad or a website so I “dumb it down” a bit to make it not sound too corporate. Sometimes telling Chatgpt to do so fixes this though.

      i use it to make outlines which are usually very good and then I use the class materials to flesh out the outlines in my own words. All my words but ChatGPT told me what to include and in what order.
