    The abandoned building they squatted together was a colourful tapestry of art, laughter, reclaimed waste, and spirited debates about the nature of authority,

    cultivate a spirit of exploration and innovation — create anarchy everywhere you go and the fruits of anarchy will transform not just your life, but the world around you, creating a tapestry of vibrant, interconnected lives unbound by fear or conformity. Don’t grow up, grow wild.

    Grow wild in your thoughts, actions, and relationships. Let your ideas blossom like untamed vines, intertwining with others to form a vibrant tapestry of diverse perspectives and experiences.

    In the time that I experimented with ChatGPT when it first came out, one thing it would very consistently do is describe things as a ‘vibrant tapestry’. It was one of its favorite words to use, plopping it in there at least 60% of the time.

    I know some people’s work have been wrongly accused of using AI for their writings, but combined with the Em-dashes and the overall style/tone of the article, it gives off a strong impression of AI-written vibes.

      It’s not ai written. I used duck.ai to suggest ways to improve the flow of a few paragraphs after I wrote them and then rewrote the paragraphs myself further based on the suggestions. I liked the word tapestry so I kept it, but I guess using it 3 times is too much, you’re right.

      The long dashes were all me. It’s just proper grammar.

        Duck.ai is an anonymous front-end for AI LLMs, most of which are ChatGPT models.

        I would put forward that a manually tweaked version of an AI’s rendition of your original writing is, in my subjective opinion, difficult to distinguish from untweaked AI writings.

          You can easily go through my 8+ years of essays that i never used that tool on and see my writing style is consistent. Regardless, I don’t owe you anything, you’re not my boss. I can use a thesaurus or sentence structure formatters if I want.

            I did not suggest you alter your method of writing, I only gave feedback on how the end result of that particular method came off to me, which I made sure to mention was only my subjective opinion. If you prefer that style, then by all means, continue to employ it.

              I’m undecided if I want to keep using it, but it did save me a lot of time. The thing I always struggle with is I rewrite each sentence dozens of times until it feels right because of my OCD. Using that tool, I only had to rewrite the sentences 2-3 times and managed to finish the essay in a day when it usually takes me a full week at least.
