Watch out for this hyphen " โ "
Looks normal, right? ๐คทโ๏ธ
We've seen many "experts" posting content with this exact hyphen.
Well... it's a trademark character ChatGPT includes in its generated text. ๐ค
That long hyphen doesn't exist on your keyboard.
The one we generally use is a shorter one like this "-"
And it's not just the hyphen.
There are plenty of weird characters ChatGPT quietly adds to your text.
Some are visible.
Some are sneakily hidden... like zero-width spaces, non-breaking blanks, and other Unicode ghosts ๐ป
๐ง Google looks for these signals to detect AI-generated content.
And you'll spot them everywhere - Facebook posts, comments, LinkedIn carousels, and what not! ๐ฌ
Next time you see the hyphen, in posts, in comments, let them know.
Save them from embarassment. ;)
