With the rise of AI, I get a little nervous when I see small signs of its use in online writing, especially on Wattpad. ChatGPT uses an elongated dash, similar to '-' on the keyboard of my laptop. But it looks like this — instead. I've never used one on a regular keyboard and never noticed them before ChatGPT.  Has anyone else noticed this or am I being paranoid?

As I use chat gpt for summarizing or editing, it easy to tell which writings are actually AI used . Plus point is it can’t produce the emotions so most of the words are repetitive. Also you will see some common surname in stories like hale , vale , whale. I feel bad sometimes using chat GPT for editing because I know 80% writer are using AI just to write anything . But the way companies are moving forward , everything will become AI generated soon.

@LadyChronicle I'm not aware of any specific ones since I guess there will always be exceptions? Some may argue their writing looks robotic, not meaning a robot actually wrote it lol. As PenumbraMine mentioned, probably metadata is a stronger identifier

@PenumbraMine very interesting! I suppose assumptions are unfair as I know a lot of people import their work into Wattpad, as opposed to actually writing in it from scratch. I also recently read that AI images used on accounts are exclusion criteria for Wattpad Creators- not sure if that includes profile pictures as well. Using it on actual story covers, or chapter media is probably not advisable, since they don't really like people even using copyrighted songs/media/content due to paywalling issues etc.
