  • That’s a good way to describe it, too. Yeah. Amy Shira Teitel had this video the other day about how reading skills are dropping massively and how it links into short-form video and short-form entertainment in general.
    And it made me realize: I like cozy reading every so often. Sure. Currently reading the third Legends&Lattes book, and it’s fantastic as are the first two. But I could not do that all the time. It’s too lightweight in prose and content for that.

    Similar thing with AI text, and in particular in long-form AI-generated text. It’s not text meant to keep you engaged while reading it, just not actively disengage you.

  • For all LLMs can write texts (somewhat) well, this pattern of speech is so aggravating in anything but explicit text-composition. I don’t need the 500 word blurb to fill the void with. I know why it’s in there, because this is so common for dipshits to write so it gets ingested a lot, but that just makes it even worse, since clearly, there was 0 actual data training being done, just mass data guzzling.

    1. consuming so much AI content has led to me able to see subtle patterns

    It’s a certain “tone” to their written text. It’s difficult to identify from small blurbs like the ones you got there, but once you’ve seen enough LLM output, even if someone tells them to write in a specific “style” they’ll still have a certain uncanny type of expression that is almost, but never actually, how humans write.
