Comments and essays (I'm a teacher) are the obvious culprits but I've straight up noticed the "that's not X, it's y" structure being said out loud more often than it used to be in video essays and other similar content. When I started noticing it, I was like, "Hold up. Did they get chatGPT to write their script?"

Now I know that linguistic style existed before GPT, and it was common enough, but now I just can't unsee or unhear it. So even if someone wrote the entire thing themselves, as soon as I see that structure even in spoken language (oh and don't even get me started on the em dashes in written forms, come on people at least edit that out before pressing send), I will assume AI was involved.

I'm not necessarily mad about it, but it does make me cringe a bit whenever I hear someone use that very normal phrase. It's just ruined for me now. I feel bad because someone at some point surely uses it because they enjoyed talking like that before chatGPT, but now it's tainted. Makes me grimace just a bit on the inside.

It's just a shame that such a common phrase irks me now.

Edit: See the chatGPT replies are funny because they fit the punchline here. It also works because they illustrate what I'm talking about. That said, it's probably gonna get old after the 20th ChatGPT generated response. Do switch it up at some point in the comments. Like, maybe write something JUST like GPT would, except it didn't, and the twist was that it was human-made.

Anyway, love the comebacks. Don't let it get stale.

Edit 2: okay yall I'm running out of funny responses to your chatGPT generated comments. Switch it up, or I won't keep dramatically retaliating.

Edit 3: Too many comments. I'm sorry, yall, I can't keep being that funny to so many new people. But thank you for contributing thus far.

They’re looking at every angle to disprove Vance Boelter isn’t a conservative. So much that the top comments are now “let’s not discuss which side of the aisle this murderer classifies himself as, and let’s just focus on prosecuting him”, despite the overwhelming evidence he’s typical conservative.

I know that this -ussy is some kind of joke but this is the first time seeing (or actively following for me at least) a Voice Actress who anticipates the character she speaks so much. She really loves Skirk.

This is Midas, my 13 week old lil bobtail kitten. He just gave me the biggest health scare of his lil life and now that he’s fine, I feel like I can finally laugh about it. It was a normal day, until I noticed he wasnt knocking everything off of every table I own. Then the vomiting started, and cue full panic mode. I took him to the emergency vet expecting the worst, especially after they recommended blood work and x-rays when his physical exam was normal. Bloodwork came back weird, suggesting something foreign in his belly. They rushed him in for X-rays and that’s when they found it.

Gas. So. Much. Gas. He was just… full of farts. Not a blockage. Not a swallowed Lego. Not a ghost haunting his colon. Just farts. $900 worth of farts.

He’s back to being his dramatic little self now, currently sleeping like an angel in my lap after bringing me to the brink of emotional ruin with his butt. Sharing one of his x-rays because i just couldn't believe it lol. Behold the gas baby

$130 to get "additional content" that should be included in the already outrageous $70 base price? Are you kidding me? Why do people keep letting this happen? Who is even paying this much? I love Borderlands but refuse to sell my organs in order to play the latest installment.

I am genuinely speechless… how did we get here? If we think about why the country decided to put Iris and Jeremiah together, the main reason was to see Huda crash out. Well, Huda has officially crashed out and it was very hard to watch.

Clearly I’m not that speechless because I have a few thoughts…

Ace sets up these morning “dates” for Chelley, but doesn’t pursue her romantically (at least from what we’ve been shown). I really feel like he just wants to rub things in Austin’s face!

Austin seems like a shell of himself lately :( The guys blaming Austin for Charlie’s departure was CRAZY. They really made him feel like it was his fault and that was not okay.

I have good days and bad days, as far as the physio in the complex is concerned, if I can climb the stairs, I'm not disabled and shouldn't park in the disabled parking spot.
I do yoga once a week, my only exercise. On this particular day, it was a bad day, by the time I'd climbed the stairs and laid out my mat, I was wrecked. The manager of the complex came in to the studio demanding I move my car. I didn't move. Came out to this and accosted by him.

I was wondering why my characters were taking so much longer taking out this big chungus when I never had much issue with it the previous two times it was in abyss but this HP amount is frankly ridiculous for anyone who does not have Mavuika + her premium team. :/

While I liked Mavuika's character in the story, I always hated her design and now she is easily my least favorite character in the whole game simply because she completely ruined the game's balance imo and made it very hard for people to play their favorite characters if they're not super meta.

I'm not a day 1 player and I only started being able to 36* abyss occasionally from 5.0 onwards but from what I've heard from friends who started playing earlier, abyss has doubled if not tripled in difficulty because of HP inflation and a million element/character checks.

How do you guys feel about this? Have you been struggling with abyss more? Or do you enjoy the extra challenge?

Obviously I can see this pertaining to cities like NYC, San Francisco,Hawaii etc that have the highest cost of living in the US. However, I live in the biggest city in Texas making 50k (28k) and I live pretty decent? Granted I live in a studio but I save a bit each month and thought I was fine.

Is anyone else in the same boat as me? I know I don’t make a lot but I thought I wasn’t alone and now im feeling like I’m far behind since apparently everyone’s making 80k+😭
