Why ChatGPT text sounds machine-made
ChatGPT writes evenly: its sentences are of similar length, its paragraphs share the same structure and the text is held together by phrases like “in today's world”, “it is important to note” or “in conclusion”. A reader notices before reaching the end of the first paragraph.
It is not about mistakes; the text is usually grammatically fine. What reads as machine-made is the regularity itself — a person mixes short and long sentences, repeats a word for emphasis and steers clear of generic filler.
