I think almost all of these are things that I’d only think after I’d already noticed confusion, and most are things I’d never say in my head anyway. A little way into the list I thought “Wait, did he just ask ChatGPT for different ways to say “I’m confused”?”.
I expect there are things that pop up in my inner monologue when I’m confused about something, that I wouldn’t notice, and it would be very useful to have a list of such phrases, but your list contains ~none of them.
Edit: Actually the last three are reasonable. Are they human written?
Correct guess. They were mostly generated by ChatGPT. I initially bet that it wouldn’t give outputs that had any value. My prompt of “read everything I have already written then make a list based on it” I thought would be too vague. So when it generated phrases that seemed passable I think my System 1 kicked in and said “yep, they sure do sound confused.”. and I was happy to have a big long list, instead of just a few quality points.
And second guess also correct. The last 4 I generated myself. Looking back now I agree that it is certainly easy to tell.
My main hope was for others to comment their own C-Phrases, which is why I think I let this slip. Though I’m not proud and must say Oop. Thank you for your quality comment that lead me to this conclusion.
I’m going to remedy this by generating as quality as I can list of my own thoughts and editing them into the post.
