This is terrific writing and what we lose when we pretend AI can do terrific writing.
The biggest problem we face right now is that the large majority of people are terrible writers and can't recognize why this is awful. It really felt like the moment before chatgpt arrived we were coming into a new world where the craft of writing was surging in popularity and making a difference. That all feels lost.
This kind of post makes me have hope.

PowerPoint created a very similar Eternal September. After PowerPoint got done applying lipstick to the pig, your incoherent garbage was presented on screen with neat fonts and bullet points, so I couldn't immediately judge your lack of preparedness. I had to wade through 10+ minutes of your slop before realizing you were wholly unprepared. AI is just extending the amount of time I have to waste before realizing that what I'm looking at is slop. I'm not happy about this.
