Some of these were&nbsp;perhaps written&nbsp;in the pre-AI era!&nbsp;Use&nbsp;them as references&nbsp;to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;your unique writing style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voice-2\"><strong>What AI Does to Your Writing Style&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With generative AI&nbsp;tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, authors&nbsp;can&nbsp;prompt the tools to generate content for them.&nbsp;Obviously, this raises the question of&nbsp;AI&nbsp;authenticity.&nbsp;But&nbsp;let\u2019s&nbsp;say you do not use&nbsp;the&nbsp;AI-generated content as is&nbsp;in your manuscript&nbsp;and simply&nbsp;refer to it when&nbsp;preparing&nbsp;your research&nbsp;manuscript.&nbsp;Does&nbsp;this&nbsp;still&nbsp;impact&nbsp;your writing&nbsp;style?&nbsp;Yes,&nbsp;indeed!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeatedly reading&nbsp;the AI&nbsp;text&nbsp;alters how you express ideas because you tend to be overly familiar with AI vocabulary.&nbsp;Perhaps you&nbsp;start using words&nbsp;and phrases&nbsp;like \u201cmoreover,\u201d&nbsp;\u201cit is important to note that\u2026,\u201d&nbsp;and&nbsp;\u201cfurthermore\u201d&nbsp;frequently&nbsp;in your writing&nbsp;without intending to.&nbsp;Or&nbsp;maybe&nbsp;the AI tool\u2019s&nbsp;way of making strong claims without using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/blog\/what-is-hedging-language-meaning-examples-and-importance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hedging language&nbsp;<\/a>has now&nbsp;wormed itself into your writing as well, causing you to&nbsp;minimize using&nbsp;qualifiers like \u201cmay,\u201d \u201cmight,\u201d&nbsp;\u201csuggests,\u201d \u201cindicates,\u201d \u201cappears to,\u201d \u201cpossible that,\u201d&nbsp;etc. in&nbsp;the Results and Discussion sections&nbsp;that&nbsp;require&nbsp;you to report findings without overclaiming.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So,&nbsp;what&nbsp;is the solution? Should&nbsp;we&nbsp;abandon AI altogether?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not exactly. AI tools, such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/paperpal?utm_source=editageinsights&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=202609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paperpal<\/a><\/strong>,&nbsp;that are&nbsp;built for academic writing&nbsp;are indeed great for saving time and working efficiently.&nbsp;You can&nbsp;obtain&nbsp;an outline for structuring your paper, paraphrase your sentences, and even use the tool to brainstorm ideas&nbsp;as you develop your research manuscript.&nbsp;Essentially, you&nbsp;should ensure that&nbsp;AI authenticity is verified by human review.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voice-3\"><strong>How to Edit AI-sounding&nbsp;Text<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings&nbsp;us to&nbsp;the&nbsp;best ways to paraphrase AI-generated&nbsp;text.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voice-31\"><strong>1.&nbsp;Recognize transition words&nbsp;that appear repetitive&nbsp;and replace them<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Formal or academic writing commonly uses transitional phrases like \u201cmoreover,\u201d \u201chowever,\u201d&nbsp;\u201cnot only\u2026but also,\u201d \u201cit is important to\u2026\u201d etc.&nbsp;These are not technically incorrect. Yet,&nbsp;their repeated&nbsp;excessive use&nbsp;makes the writing sound like AI prose.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong>&nbsp;Use a range of connectors. Some sentences&nbsp;can use \u201cmoreover,\u201d while others can use \u201cin addition,\u201d&nbsp;\u201cfurthermore,\u201d \u201cbeyond this,\u201d&nbsp;or&nbsp;\u201cadditionally.\u201d&nbsp;In certain cases,&nbsp;you may avoid&nbsp;using connectors and simply&nbsp;state&nbsp;the information directly.&nbsp;Avoid using \u201cit is important to note that\u2026\u201d at the beginning of sentences. It is very ChatGPT-like!&nbsp;Instead,&nbsp;use \u201cnotably\u201d or&nbsp;simply remove the phrase completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintain&nbsp;variations in your word choices so that AI&nbsp;paraphrasing becomes easy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voice-32\"><strong>2.&nbsp;Retain&nbsp;nuance&nbsp;by adding field-specific terminology&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest concern&nbsp;about&nbsp;using AI writing&nbsp;tools is the&nbsp;loss of nuance and context, which often&nbsp;remains&nbsp;unique to a study topic depending on the research field.&nbsp;For example,&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;prompt&nbsp;ChatGPT to interpret your findings&nbsp;to help draft your Discussion section&nbsp;and paste the results of your experiment within the prompt, there could be two major risks:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) Your unpublished research findings&nbsp;have&nbsp;been&nbsp;shared with a generative AI tool.&nbsp;Could it be used to train the model? Or worse, when you eventually publish your paper, will the findings be flagged as plagiarized because an AI tool&nbsp;has&nbsp;perhaps used&nbsp;them&nbsp;as reference to output information to&nbsp;its users?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b) Interpretation of findings requires critical thinking, which is&nbsp;a human skill and not a task for machines.&nbsp;The tool could convolute the implications of your findings&nbsp;and&nbsp;align the interpretation with its own training datasets rather than&nbsp;<em>your<\/em>&nbsp;intended meaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore,&nbsp;prevent this loss of nuance&nbsp;by&nbsp;retaining&nbsp;technical jargon where relevant and using field-specific terminology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI sentence:<\/strong><em>&nbsp;<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">SPSN is a concept close to RSN.

Therefore, rephrase&nbsp;such&nbsp;AI-generated sentences&nbsp;to&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;variations in sentence length.&nbsp;Here\u2019s&nbsp;an example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI text:&nbsp;<\/strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><em>Improving athletic performance is a major area where assessing physical risk plays an important role.&nbsp;Traditional evaluation methods based on past analysis and general guidelines often&nbsp;fail to&nbsp;capture physical stress during&nbsp;sports activities.&nbsp;Therefore, it is important to improve assessment methods to better reflect the changing nature of competitive sports.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Human-edited text:&nbsp;<\/strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><em>Biomechanical risk assessment plays a pivotal role in enhancing athletic performance.&nbsp;Conventional evaluation methods based on retrospective analyses and ergonomic guidelines often&nbsp;fail to&nbsp;capture real-time biomechanical stress during dynamic activities,&nbsp;strenuous workouts,&nbsp;and athletic movements.&nbsp;Therefore,&nbsp;assessment techniques must evolve to reflect the&nbsp;changing&nbsp;nature of competitive sporting events.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voice-34\"><strong>4.&nbsp;Fix sentences that overclaim&nbsp;findings and use cautious hedging&nbsp;language<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI tools tend to sound confident when they respond&nbsp;to user prompts.
