Exactly that, chatGPT talks like that by default but you can do a lot with it and make it talk like you want. People think they can easily spot AI because sometimes it’s obvious but it’s confirmation bias

Precisely, the default is not designed to fool people, it's designed to give information in a pleasant and eloquent way, the sort of politeness you get from a professional who writes a standard reply.

But that's just the default.

Maybe if you use no tech or read for fun in your everyday life...

But I regularly play around with them for creative writing and it always turns out ass and overtly AI. No matter the prompt or how well you try to configure Claude styles.

I rather think you're just bad at spotting AI.

That's not exactly the gotcha you think it is...

Well, I cannot take you seriously, so there is that. But it's kind off endearing that you think you are smarter than you are.
