Guess which paragraph is written by AI?

Is AI really taking over, threatening the job of multiple people including copywriters? Is it almost human-like? Only one of the following paragraphs is written by a human, the rest are all ChatGPT. Can you try and guess which one?

P1: 5.30 a.m. I wake up with a start. Groggily I reach out for my phone and hastily check Skype to see if there are any messages from Brian – my long distance partner of two decades who I have never met. Yes, you heard me right. Ours is one of those stories most people find it difficult to believe. We had met online in 2004. And it was love at first chat and have never looked back ever since. Strangely enough, he is more real to me than the people I interact with every day. So I can safely conclude that in this age of changing partners like clothes, we are still going strong.

P2: Alright, mate, 'ere's me mornin' routine, straight from the Queen Vic! I wake up bleedin' early, around 6:00am, mind you. Gotta get ready for the day, innit? First, I stumble outta me pit and trudge to the kitchen for a proper cuppa. Can't start the day without a brew, right? Then, by around 7:00am, I'm off to sort me barnet out in front of the mirror. Gotta make sure I look half-decent before facin' the world. After that, it's brekkie time, 'round 7:30am. Nothin' fancy, just a bit o' toast and a banger or two, maybe some beans. Finally, by 8:00am, I'm out the door, off to earn a crust at work, or to catch up with the mob down at the market. Life in Walford, mate, never a dull moment!

P3: So, the alarm clock rudely interrupts my beauty sleep at 7:00am. I hit the snooze button like it owes me money, because let's be honest, mornings aren't my jam. Eventually, I crawl out of bed, looking like a walking zombie, and stumble to the kitchen for a cup of liquid sanity, also known as coffee. It's my lifeline, you know? Once I'm slightly more awake, I jump in the shower and unleash my Grammy-worthy singing skills. Sorry, neighbors! By 8:00am, I'm usually in front of the mirror, trying to make my hair look presentable, but let's be real, it's a losing battle. Then it's time for a quick breakfast, usually a bowl of cereal or a sad-looking slice of toast. And off I go, ready to conquer the world... or at least survive another day of lectures. Let the academic adventure begin!

P4: I commence my mornings with the elegant precision befitting my refined stature. The alarm, set discreetly for 7:30am, interrupts my peaceful slumber, as I gracefully rise from my opulent bed. I slip into a tailored suit, meticulously selected from my extensive collection, and embark on a delightful journey of self-improvement. The morning routine consists of a revitalizing workout session at the most exclusive gym, followed by a rejuvenating skincare regimen that ensures my visage radiates an air of perpetual success. By 9:00am, I savor a meticulously prepared artisanal breakfast, accompanied by a freshly brewed cup of imported tea, as I peruse the morning edition of esteemed publications. With my head held high, I venture forth into the world, a paragon of sophistication, poised to conquer the challenges that lie before me.

P5: I'm a proud mama, moved to the UK a few years back, but still learning the ropes. The alarm clock goes off at 7:00am, and I reluctantly peel myself out of bed, feeling like a sleep-deprived zombie. My toddler's already up and about, ready to conquer the world before breakfast. I stumble into the kitchen, praying for a strong cuppa to jumpstart my energy levels. It's a constant juggle of nappies, feedings, and nursery rhymes throughout the morning. Trying to decipher what my little one wants can feel like cracking a secret code sometimes. By midday, I'm dreaming of a nap, but alas, the adventures of motherhood never stop. Despite the exhaustion, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing my toddler's cheeky smile. It's a whirlwind, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

ChatGPT thinks 4- "The paragraph exhibits a highly formal and refined tone, emphasizing elegance, sophistication, and a meticulous approach to the morning routine. The language used suggests a deliberate attempt to portray a cultured and privileged lifestyle."

FettleOfKish · 07/06/2023 17:42

I'm going to take a guess at 5, but it really is a guess.

Interestingly enough I was doing some copywriting for work today, just a few paragraphs for our website intro. I did my bit, then just for fun fed a single sentence brief into a chatbot.

I ended up stealing one or two of the resulting turns of phrase for my copy Blush

(Don't worry before anyone jumps in, I'm not specifically paid as a copywriter, this was just a small task that's a small part of my regular job).

4 is the human

PetitPorpoise · 07/06/2023 17:43

I think the errors in P1 are a red herring. I heard last week that students using ChatGPT for assignments are asking it to include some SPAG errors for authenticity.

pizzaHeart · 07/06/2023 17:43

5

and @atthebottomofthehill in my circle we use Skype

Tryingtogetitright · 07/06/2023 17:43

I think all of them?...

Rollonannualeave · 07/06/2023 17:44

I reckon 1 because it is the worst one.

ilovemyspace · 07/06/2023 17:44

I think they're ALL written by AI !!

Rollonannualeave · 07/06/2023 17:46

Disclaimer. I know use chat gpt to help me write some of my emails!

BlackandWhiteFurryAnimal · 07/06/2023 17:47

P5 or P3.

But they’re all badly written, self-indulgent rubbish!

When are you going to tell us OP??!!

VenusStarr · 07/06/2023 17:48

All of them are bad, but I think 1, 2 or 4.

yasijasi · 07/06/2023 17:48

Paragraph 1 was written by a human being!

OP posts:
piedbeauty · 07/06/2023 17:49

3 or 5 is the human one...

piedbeauty · 07/06/2023 17:50

😱😱😱

Growlybear83 · 07/06/2023 17:52

I would think that paragraph 4 is the AI one because it is the most grammatically correct.

yasijasi · 07/06/2023 17:53

I asked ChatGPT to write replicating various personalities. Should have insisted on using British spelling more!

One thing that could have given it away that I didn't realise I didn't correct until I posted it was the "a.m." in the first paragraph as opposed to "am" in the rest.

I'm.guessing 3 but who knows

C'mon OP the suspense is killing me!

BigFatLiar · 07/06/2023 17:56

I read a lot of romance on kindle unlimited, I wouldn't be surprised if many were written by change. They all seem to be variations on a theme.

Playgrind · 07/06/2023 17:54

C'mon OP the suspense is killing me!

It was paragraph 1! I thought 3 was quite human like too.

The prompts for each one were something along the lines of :

P2: You are a character from the tv show Eastenders. Share your morning routine with me.

P3: You are a laid back student

P4: You are a banker in Canary Wharf

P5: You are a first time mum who just moved to the UK. Parenting is both beautiful and tiring.

Reminds me of an online fiction that got so popular it was made into a movie. There was a bit of controversy around that as many people criticised the author's writing style.

YESSSS I absolutely nailed that!

BlackandWhiteFurryAnimal · 07/06/2023 17:59

Well, I’m finding out I’m completely out of the loop, as I don’t even understand your explanation OP 😆!

Can human beings really be reduced in that way to random caricatures? 😱

MaidOfSteel · 07/06/2023 18:01

I think no.1 was written by a human.

Shouldbedoing · 07/06/2023 18:02

P4 is AI
