ChatGPT, being trained on a lot of pretty mediocre and overly flowery writing, tends to overuse some uselessly flourish-y words ...
... as with the discovery a while back that it keeps on saying "delve", as in, "let's delve into this" (something it picked up, reportedly, via training data from Nigerian business circles)
what *other* words does it overuse?
