Laziness is a slippery slope. I'm just thinking of the automatic spell checkers that I've been using since college. Far from improving my spelling, I often feel dependent on them. Nowadays I keep using translation tools to go back and forth between the languages I actually speak. While the final result is always a word or expression that I already know, before typing it in I could not come up with it myself. Now with Chat GPT (and lately DeepSeek), when I tell them to paraphrase something I wrote, it always ends up sounding much better. In fact, let's see how it paraphrases what I just wrote:
Laziness can lead to a gradual decline in skills. For instance, I’ve relied on automatic spell checkers since college, but instead of enhancing my spelling, I’ve become dependent on them. These days, I frequently use translation tools to switch between languages I already know. Although the output is always a word or phrase I’m familiar with, I often struggle to recall it on my own before typing it in. Similarly, with tools like ChatGPT (and more recently, DeepSeek), whenever I ask them to rephrase something I’ve written, the result always sounds significantly better. In fact, let’s see how it paraphrases this very text.
I wonder what would happen if you just kept on inputting! That final one did sound very AI!
If you made it paraphrase the paraphrase, and just keep doing it over and over again... I suppose after a couple of version it would reach the limit of language and use the same expressions again.
Do you think the AI version I posted sounds artificial? Honestly, I could´t tell.
Maybe mix it up next time, see if I can tell!
