A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I worked creating mass content for lots of websites, from product descriptions, to reviews and posts messages. We just inserted random typos after running Quillbot on the text and added ellipsis here and there sometimes.
I think someone in the team had a list of words they purposely changed in MS Word so that they could be misspelled all the time.
Now that ChatGPT let's you insert your custom global instructions I'm absolutely sure they are asking for it to misspell about 2% of the words in the text and talk in a more coloquial fashion.
As things stand right now, I don't think there is a discernible way to see if something was written by AI or not and relying on typos is not a wise thing to do.
