ChatGPT voice
/ˈtʃætɡɪpt vɔɪs/
CommonThe recognizable writing style of ChatGPT: overly formal, structured, and hollow.
Often used to call out writing that tries to sound professional but ends up sounding robotic. The critique is as much about the person choosing to paste it unedited as it is about the AI.
