genuinely feels like the opposite. you search for and open an article and it's 30 pages long and the TOC is something like:

  1. What is
  2. How is
  3. Where is
  4. Why is
  5. When is
  6. Is deadly
  7. Living with chronic
  8. Who discovered
  9. in America
  10. in Bhutan
  11. What is (again?)
  12. Hunting for in the savannahs
  13. Caring for a dog with

I don't have to read through the author's nostalgic story about their grandma's crumbly cookies anymore, but now there's a surprising number of cookie recipes that suggest adding cigarette ashes for extra crumbliness.

I have not noticed this decrease.

A signature feature of AI writing ime is it using a lot of words to say very little

I'm talking about a specific kind of writing format where you need a fucking answer and the articles are all:

"Here's the answer for [question]:

[Question] is a very interesting and important question, here in this article you can find the answer to [question].

For years [question] has puzzled many people, since it's a very important topic.

People usually wonder about [question], the answer is here in this article.

Scientists at the Buttholeshire University has been working in [question] for years. [Question] is very important, and they have recently published a scientific article about [question].

Here's what scientists of Buttholeshire University have to say about [question]:

-- [question] is a very relevant topic nowadays. It has serious health and economic impacts, that's why we research [question] --

[question] has a long story. Many people all around the world worry about [question]

Last year it was reported that many people searched the internet for [question]

[question] is also a matter of geopolitical importance. Many politicians at the UN worry about [question]

In February 2014, Barack Obama gave a speech that mentioned [question]

Experts from the Dickbutt Institute talked about [question]

-- [question] is a very relevant matter. It's very important for business and for people --

etc,etc "

LLMs, by design, will never write something as good as any human genuinely trying to write something good

On the other hand, they will rarely write something as dogshit as a freelance journalist trying to maximise ad revenue

[–] WizardOfLoneliness@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

as good as any human genuinely trying

Have you talked to people? There is absolutely a subset of people who, despite genuinely trying, will not write something higher quality than chatgpt. This is not an endorsement of the quality of chatgpt

An illiterate burgerland teen might write something completely nonsensical and profoundly problematic, it will still be better literature than the wasteland of nothingness that LLMs make

Outsider art >>> AI art

that has been the actual opposite for me. one of the ways i notice an article is AI is by noticing some concepts being repeated too much

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

They tuned the AI to be as dogshit as it was before, marvelous.
