# ChatGPT FAQ — Community Questions Answered

The top ChatGPT questions from [r/ChatGPT](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/) this week, answered with community insight and specific steps you can act on today. Updated weekly.

## Top Questions This Week

Why does ChatGPT overuse the "It's not just X — it's Y" writing pattern?

This rhetorical structure ("It's not just a tool. It's a partner.") comes from ChatGPT's training data, which included large amounts of persuasive marketing copy, and from RLHF feedback that rewarded confident, punchy writing. There's no official name for it, though r/ChatGPT users have dubbed it "AI em-dash syndrome." To suppress it, add this to your custom instructions: *"Avoid the 'It's not just X — it's Y' sentence pattern. Write plainly and directly."* [Read the full guide →](https://openclawdatabase.com/chatgpt/faq/chatgpt-writing-patterns/) Source: [r/ChatGPT](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1sfrj68/)

How do I make my website visible when ChatGPT recommends tools?

ChatGPT's tool recommendations surface sites with clear structured data markup (Schema.org JSON-LD), machine-readable content, and explicit product descriptions. Add `SoftwareApplication` or `FAQPage` schema to your key pages, use descriptive titles that answer common questions directly, and ensure your content is accessible to AI crawlers. Sites without structured data are largely invisible to the AI agents that aggregate tool and service recommendations. Source: [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48349193)
