Break out the thesaurus and be better than a bot
AI use is making certain words and phrases more prevalent (the article contains a table of ChatGPT’s 50 most overused words, usefully compiled by ChatGPT). So essays etc. written by AI all merge together into a sort of verbal sludge.
The article suggests some ways to counteract this tendency. The one they missed out- the only one that is truly valid- is to not use AI at all. If you are required to present your thoughts on a subject, and show your knowledge about it, the words need to make their way from your brain to the screen or page as directly as possible. Prompts are cheating.
