See the phrase “Regenerate response” at the bottom of an article? It is almost certain that someone created it using ChatGPT and the author hasn’t properly proof-checked it.

Enter a prompt into ChatGPT and it generates a response. At the bottom of its response is a button with the words ‘Regenerate response” on it. Clicking that button makes ChatGPT generate a new response to your original prompt. One way that people use the output of ChatGPT is simply to copy and paste it into their website or indeed into a document. If you do this by highlighting the complete response on a screen and copying and pasting, you can inadvertently get the submit button’s instructions included at the end of the text.

If someone is in a hurry or just lazy, they can miss this and so “their” pasted article ends with that phrase. So if you do see that phrase, it can be quite revealing. People who use ChatGPT to generate a lot of copy are probably going to make this mistake quite often.
