I recently received a text of support from my mom on the morning of my divorce. But what struck me as odd was how different it was from her usual texting style. It was so polished and well-structured that it raised some flags. I couldn’t help but wonder: did she use ChatGPT to write that text?
It’s not that I don’t appreciate the sentiment, but the lack of personal touch and the overly formal tone seemed out of character for my mom. I’ve been thinking about this for weeks now, and it still makes me feel weird. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it really my mom’s words or just an AI-generated message?
This experience got me thinking about the blurred lines between human and AI-generated content. As AI tools become more advanced, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the two. This raises important questions about authenticity and the role of AI in our personal relationships.
