the term "riskless grammar" perfectly puts into words how i felt about chatgpt's texts, every human-written text has something "wrong" with it grammar-wise, except maybe example essays by english teachers.

As an example, my previous paragraph has a lowercase I, too many commas, sentences compressed by using hyphens where they probably shouldnt go and probably some other stuff i missed.

But it still read well, at least i hope.

Most authors write their sentences their own way, and in my opinion, that's what makes reading their books interesting. Perfect grammar is boring and no fun to read.

as a fun experiment, i asked chatgpt to rewrite my first paragraph:

"The phrase "riskless grammar" accurately captures my impression of ChatGPT's texts. Unlike human-written content, which often contains grammatical imperfections—except perhaps for example essays by English teachers—ChatGPT's writing maintains a level of precision and correctness."

Kind of changed the meaning to be self-complimenting, which is funny.

edit: Normally I would have rewritten parts of this comment to make my point more clearly and be better to read, but i wanted to keep my first draft to make my point a bit better.
