I thought LLM's were supposed to excel at writing?
It's trivial to detect. They all sound more or less the same. We don't even need detection tools like we once thought, it's that bad. I am finding it everywhere, even in news articles and official government documents.
I notice that if I read a lot from a particular author, my writing will naturally begin to mimic theirs. So what happens when I consume too much of that AI voice? I believe it infects the brain, gradually making us dumber, like a freakin' mind virus.
Anyway, some things about AI text that I find especially irritable (and it's not the use of em dashes or semicolons, which I don't mind at all).
- Verbosity
- Redundancy, repetition, or unnecessary verbiage given the context.
- Stating the obvious.
- Using odd, nonspecific, terms or being inconsistent (I see this in technical writing often).
- [X, not Y]. Or just stating what something is not. (probably my #1 dislike actually).
- Using terms like 'real' or 'actual' when unnecessary. Akin to how a human might say "I literally tripped".
Am I the only one?
