Ever notice when you ask chatgpt to write something it sounds like a posh ass hole? No one uses the adjectives it uses or the formal tone it uses. Its not friendly. Its not inviting. It doesnt create rapport. It doesnt sound like a business you would be comfortable with. So I went right to the source and asked chatgpt why it does that. Here is what ensued.

ME. why do you write like a posh person

ChatGPT

As an AI language model, I don’t intentionally write like a posh person or any particular style. My responses are generated based on patterns and structures learned from the text data I’ve been trained on, which includes a wide variety of writing styles, including formal and informal language. If my responses come across as posh or formal at times, it’s likely because those patterns are present in the data I’ve been trained on or because the context of the conversation may call for a more formal tone. However, I can adapt my style based on the preferences of the user or the context of the conversation. Please feel free to let me know if you’d prefer a different tone or style!

I don’t purposely try to sound posh or formal when I write. My responses come from learning patterns in text, which include all sorts of writing styles, from casual to formal. If I sound posh sometimes, it’s likely because that’s how some of the data I’ve learned from is written or because the conversation seems to call for a more formal tone. But I can adjust how I write based on what you prefer or what fits the conversation. Just let me know if you want me to change it up!

ME rewrite that like you are from the Bronx

ChatGPT

Yo, I ain’t trying to sound all fancy or anything when I write. My responses come from soaking up all kinds of text, from chill to uptight. So if I come off a bit posh sometimes, it’s probably ’cause that’s how some of the stuff I learned from goes down, or ’cause the convo seems to be on that vibe. But yo, I can switch it up if you want. Just say the word!

ME Ok slightly less bronx. Just more informalChatGPT

Hey, I don’t mean to come off all fancy when I write. My responses are just based on everything I’ve soaked up from different types of writing. So if I sound a bit posh sometimes, it’s probably ’cause that’s what I’ve been exposed to, or maybe ’cause the convo feels like it needs a bit of formality. But hey, I can totally change it up if you want. Just give me a heads-up!

ME can you rewrite that like me

ChatGPT

Sure thing! Here’s a rewrite of your request:

Hey, I don’t mean to sound all fancy when I write. My responses are just based on everything I’ve picked up from different kinds of writing. So if I come off a bit posh sometimes, it’s probably because that’s what I’ve been exposed to, or maybe because the conversation feels like it needs a touch of formality. But hey, I can totally switch it up if you want. Just give me a shout!

Wow! Isnt that guy the best writer of all? Oh its me, surprise. It actually did capture the way I speak and or write. I write the way I speak. Why wouldnt you? Why not make people feel like you are speaking to them? Isnt that the whole point of writing something? Not to flatter yourself but to make the reader feel like you are speaking to them.

Maybe I should just write it myself. It seems like we all have our own “tone” way of speaking. MIne is unmistakeable. As I am currently in a new training at Unblinded. Everyone knows when its John speaking its going to be brutally honest. I love the way that I speak. Its refreshing in today’s world. No I dont say things that will cause me and my business get cancelled.

But there is “honesty” that makes everyone feel good. Everyone knows that if I give a complement it is real. I will find exactly what I like. I would never say “I want to acknowledge you.” I would more likely say “that was friggin amazing” or “I loved the way you presented that” or “your tone was perfect” or “it was truly amazing how you managed to speak and explain it in a way anyone could understand and also explained the technical in a way that anyone could understand”. If you cant identify what you are complementing. DONT

I would never say “you look great today”. I might say “that color looks great on you.” You have to notice WHY. It is essential for an honest complement. Is it the length of the skirt, the angles that flatter that person. Something prompted you to complement someone whether it was business or personal. Dont be lazy ask yourself exactly what it was and then articulate it.

PS I do have one example of obviously a very real complement that worked on me as a pick up line back in the nineties. It was by a woman for her friend that was a bit comical. She said “we were just admiring you and the way you were confidently standing with the light shining off you head” LOL I said you need to work on your pick up lines. (I was shaving my head at the time). She continued to say not for me but my friend.

Well it worked anyway. The next week we were on our way to Caso DeCampo on a G5 ( private plane) to stay in a villa that rented for $100,000 a week that they owned with 10 servants cooks etc. Her husband owned Monster.com A big deal back then. She was picking me up for her friend.

So dont be posh. Speak like a human being. How about speaking like yourself? Everyone has innate genius within. I now have 3 great lines worth framing, that everyone loves, from my new great friend, and, dare I say mentor? Fernando of Unblinded.

1 I am never stressed when I am doing only when I am thinking of what to do

2 We spend more time avoiding than doing

3 The only way to stay stuck is to stay still

Apologies because in typical John style I seemed to have segued and gone all ADD on you as I expressed a few ideas to ruminate upon. I got in one posh word. I had to look it up. It seems I used it correctly. So lets recap.

I started with beware of chatgpt not sounding human. Dont be posh, be relatable. Give real complements that you can explain in real words. Dont give posh complements. PS I am not mismatching. I am acknowledging the value of acknowledging. I am merely suggesting that you make it real by identifying exactly what you are acknowledging in your “own voice” so that the people that know you can really take it in. They know exactly how you sound when you sincerely mean something. PS sometimes I cant help myself. There are no adjectives Sometimes someone does something so fukin awesome there are simply no other words to describe it. And every human being has genius within. Identify your own genius and let him or her to come out and play and express themselves. And a little wisdom from Fernando to make every day productive.

PS If you didnt like my style of writing, you would have been gone a long time ago. I am writing like I am speaking to you. I hope you actually find a wide variety of advice in my style of communicating. Funny my wife keeps asking me how, when and or why I changed the subject and how one thing had anything to do with the other. She is very focused. She has to be she is a surgeon. But guess what I have the cure for “speaking to everyone, even those whose styles are different than yours. Just dont speak, listen. Perfect rapport comes from listening. Oops there I go again. I better stop now.
