Tune Up AI
In my recent Guess the Writer game, I challenged you to distinguish human writing from AI-generated text. Now, let’s consider how AI writing has evolved by comparing passages from ChatGPT GPT-3, GPT-4.1-mini, and GPT-4.5.
Poetry Comparison
- GPT-3: The leaves fall softly, drifting through the quiet air, colors changing gently with the season’s care.
- GPT-4.1-mini: Leaves fall quietly, colors changing in the slow wind of the season.
- GPT-4.5: Gentle leaves drift softly, hues shift in the whispered breeze of autumn’s calm embrace.
Prose Comparison
- GPT-3: The old city streets twisted and turned beneath the glowing lamps, footsteps echoed softly as night wrapped the town.
- GPT-4.1-mini: Old streets wind quietly, lanterns light the path, footsteps echo softly in the night.
- GPT-4.5: The ancient city’s alleys weave silently beneath glowing lanterns, footsteps fading in the night’s hush.
Newer AI models are producing richer imagery, smoother flow, and more natural language. Understanding these improvements helps us use AI more thoughtfully, and not fall into just task stewardship.
