This article describes 5 steps you can take to train ChatGPT to write in your style. Full disclosure; I haven’t tried it but given my previous experiences with ChatGPT, it seems plausible.
- Set the scene by explaining what you’re going to do.
- Provide examples of your writing so that ChatGPT can learn.
- Name your writing style so you can refer to it later (I don’t know about this, as I don’t think ChatGPT has stable memory that it can refer to later…but maybe you need to do this training every time you want to use this process).
- Ask ChatGPT to write something in your style.
- Ask it to edit the response so that it’s more like your writing.
As I said, I haven’t tried this but it seems like the kind of thing that’s possible. Having said that, I don’t see a reason for why this isn’t possible.
I don’t know if this is a Good Thing, or a Bad Thing. But it’s possible, and so it’s probably something we should be aware of.
One of the approaches we suggest when it comes to identifying the possible use of generative AI in assessment submissions, is that we can recognise differences in style between previous submissions and a new submission using ChatGPT.
But if students can train language models to write in their style, it will be harder to identify the possible use of AI, based on differences in style.
