I wanted to test my theory that "don't use cliche'd language" helps with that, but incredibly the essays ChatGPT is giving me today don't have any of the tells. How do I get it to give me slop?

I asked "Can you give me a short essay on the history of fire." Maybe the type of writing requested has a massive effect on the language used?

Possibly. As for this blog post and for most slop the prompt itself will contain the material. The material will be very short.

"Here is one paragraph of an idea, an abstract of a report. Write a blog post."

Whereas a "history of fire" contains no article in the prompt and so might have more material from its own auto complete database to draw from.
