Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup/AI Catchphrases

The following is a list of phrases typical of ChatGPT.

Common tone problems with ChatGPT
Please note that, even outside of identifying possible AI-generated text, many of these phrasings go against the Manual of Style, or even against the encyclopedic purpose of Wikipedia.

Undue emphasis on symbolism and importance
ChatGPT puffs up the importance of the subject matter with reminders that it represents or contributes to a broader topic. There seems to be only a small reportoire of ways that it writes these reminders, so if they are otherwise appropriate it would be best to reword them anyway.

Remember that these phrases do not immediately reveal the author as ChatGPT; it learned from human writing, and humans on Wikipedia have also written like this.

Examples
"... Douera enjoys close proximity to the capital city, Algiers, further enhancing its significance as a dynamic hub of activity and culture. With its coastal charm and convenient location, Douera captivates both residents and visitors alike, ..."

Promotional language
ChatGPT has serious problems keeping a neutral tone, especially when writing about something that could be considered "cultural heritage" – in which case it will constantly remind the reader that it is cultural heritage.

Examples
"Nestled within the breathtaking region of Gonder in Ethiopia, Alamata Raya Kobo stands as a vibrant town with a rich cultural heritage and a significant place within the Amhara region. From its scenic landscapes to its historical landmarks, Alamata Raya Kobo offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the diverse tapestry of Ethiopia. In this article, we will explore the unique characteristics that make Alamata Raya Kobo a town worth visiting and shed light on its significance within the Amhara region."

Editorializing
to-do!

Overuse of certain conjunctives
to-do!

Prompt refusal
Occasionally, ChatGPT will decline to answer a prompt as it is written, usually with an apology and a reminder that it is "an AI language model". Attempting to be as helpful as possible, it often gives suggestions or an answer to an alternative, similar request.

Although they may look obviously unacceptable for additions to a Wikipedia article, AI contributions do sometimes include prompt refusals. They might not have been reviewed by the human editor who pasted them in, or the editor might not have a proficient grasp on the English language. Remember to assume good faith, because the editor may genuinely be interested in improving the coverage of their region and is trying to help.

Examples
"As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific information about the current status or developments related to the 'Chester Mental Health Center' in today's era. However, I can provide you with some general information about mental health centers and how they typically function in modern times."

Links to searches
When results appear in these searches, they are almost always problematic – but remember that it would be okay for an article to include them if, for example, they were in a relevant, attributed quote.
 * as an AI language model
 * as a large language model
 * "OpenAI use policy"

Collaborative communication
In some cases, editors will paste text from ChatGPT that it had intended as correspondence, prewriting or advice for them, and not for direct use in an article.

Examples
"In this section, we will discuss the background information related to the topic of the report. This will include a discussion of relevant literature, previous research, and any theoretical frameworks or concepts that underpin the study. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and to inform the reader about the existing knowledge and gaps in the field."

Other signs charateristic of ChatGPT
Section headings consistently capitalize all main words and do not utilize sentence case (MOS:AT).
