When teams use ChatGPT and other LLMs in production, they run into one problem: the text is grammatical and readable, but you can tell a neural network wrote it.

ChatGPT wrote a text? There are exactly ten distinct stylistic markers that give away LLM text with scientific precision. This is not a bug in the prompt but an architectural regularity.
Why do all ChatGPT texts look alike?
This follows directly from the statistics of the training corpus and the specifics of post-training, not from chance.
