Emails written by ChatGPT are very easy to identify – and for this you need to contact attention to one word.
Paul Graham, co-founder of the popular American business incubator Y Combinator, came to the conclusion that the presence of the word “delve” in an email is a sign that it was written by ChatGPT.

I added a diagram to this message. It shows the number of uses of the word exclusively in academic materials from 1990 to 2024.
According to this data, the number of uses of the word “delve” increased from less than 2,000 times in 2022 to almost 18,000 times in 2024.

Delve can be translated as “rummage”, “digging”. Or as a “pit”, “depression”.
“It’s one of those words people only use when they’re writing and want to sound smart,” Graham wrote.

People who have learned English in the countries which have British colonial past – this is exactly how we learn English.
‘Delve’ is a normal word which we speak.
There is no sense of what word is archaic/out of fashion and what’s not!

Others were outraged – such conclusions are “discrimination against people with a certain vocabulary.” However, Graham answered this quite succinctly: “children now learn English from films.”
