Can't read this every paragraph ends with it's not x it's y. Just give me the prompt so I can read the real insights you have and not the generated fluff.

I randomly skipped to five different paragraphs and each one ended with a "!x but y" logical statement, just formatted differently most of the time. Crazy how you can't unsee it. A sibling [dead] comment to mine is a rebuttal to "just post the prompt", where it itself was expanded to several paragraphs that each say nearly nothing, including this gem: > "That’s not a critique of the writing. It’s a diagnosis" I miss when people just typed their thoughts concisely and hit send without passing it to an inflater. I'd maybe have a chance of understanding the sibling comment's point.

  Now it is a tell but eventually people may natutally start speaking like this!! This isn't mind control, just language evolution quiety nudged by AI. ;)

    I've rather suspected that people are subconsciously adapting their language patterns to those that they hear over and over, and with AI content so prolific online now, it's natural that people are being programmed more and more with those patterns. We trained a model on human language which is now in the business of itself retaining human language.

Yeah it's becoming increasingly obvious now. The moment I see this "contrast framing" I stop reading.

  I read this as 'contrast farming' and like the term better.

    That's not just contrast framing. It's contrast farming.

Thanks for saving me from reading it myself.

we just need to send the article back to the LLM to get it synthesized /s

This made me think of: - use an LLM to compress a blog article into a singular prompt - Run it through against all the major LLMs to have them expand it back out again - Diff the original against the generated versions in terms of content/ideas - Spit out an "entropy ranking".

Again I'm the author.. and I actually wrote this. Maybe I need to stop reading AI posts and thinking that it's good writing? But will take the feedback on board and try not to over analyse each paragraph - it was a lot messier upon first draft but maybe ready better I guess.

  I appreciated the essay, GPTisms aside. The core concept is one that I've felt for a long while, but you articulated it more cleanly than I've been able to. I'd explained it as into "the tasks are replaced, the job is not", but I like your distinction better.

    Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the read. Planning on writing a lot more this year.

You really learn how bad everyone's taste is, just how low the bar can be when it comes to the written word. LLMs really can teach us something about ourselves!
