Scientists are more likely to have a richer vocabulary and write longer paragraphs containing more diverse words than machines. They also use punctuation like question marks, brackets, semicolons more frequently than ChatGPT, except for speech marks used for quotations.> Real science papers also use more equivocal language – like "however", "but", "although" as well as "this" and "because".
You can prompt ChatGPT to write in that style. For example, I have a semi-standard prompt I often use:
“Don’t just give a list of information; write in engaging and well-written paragraph form with transitions. (It’s ok to use some bullet points or lists, but the entire piece should not be a list.) Don’t use emojis and don’t overuse any of the following words (or their conjugates or other tenses): ensure, enable, seamless, solution, crucial, critical, vital, invaluable, essential, welcome, game-changer, unleash, or streamline. You can use each once or twice at most. Vary sentence length to improve readability.”
