It reads diffusive, unfocused and meandering, like a really bad writer who knows how to spell well and form proper sentences.
All these AI generated systems have the same smell so far - from the ones that create art, music, literature - a convincing imitation of a lousy practitioner.
This is fine for the background ... suspenseful music for a television show for instance or some descriptive balls-and-strikes style journalism (traffic, weather, stock market, sports scores) but these things are still a giant distance away from anyone saying "wow, that's brilliant writing".
15 years ago I think you'd have something like:
"Shares of XX rose 15% today in heavy trading"
while these days it would be:
"Following the news of the acquisition of YY, analysts revised the EPS estimates for Q4 for XX, which led to heavy trading leading to a 15% rise in the stock."

- kristopolous 6y agoEverything I've seen so far points in one direction. I don't have a crystal ball, the future is unknowable, but I wouldn't be surprised if that pattern continues. AI is kinda like a fake plant. They look pretty good, almost identical to the real thing, until you start feeling the leaves, looking for roots, you know, deeper inspection. Then you see it's all just plastic. It's practical, useful, and makes life easier, great. It'll replace a lot of jobs, indeed. But in the same way you won't be able to harvest from a fake plant, there's no real insights in any of this generated material. The fake plants of ai could unexpectedly start to grow fruit, sure. I wouldn't place any bets on it though.
