We've really gotten to the point that certain styles seem AI generated in many cases because many folks are poor writers and anything past a high school level is difficult for them. I'm not speaking in this case specifically, just in general.
It's also one of the reasons its insanely popular in ESL countries and frustrating/disliked in English-speaking countries because it makes things easier in one and harder in the other.
It was never the goal, but it is the reality. The same style people call AI, was often called being a pedant or being wordy 10 years ago.
- asibahi 2mo agoThis publisher copy is neither pedantic nor wordy. It is just a market blurb for the book. The thing that frustrates me the most about AI is how every thread in every forum spend half the time arguing whether an article is AI or not, as if bad writing only started to exist with AI. Just fucking don't read it.
- tanseydavid 2mo agoIt does not even have to be slop, the compulsion to call out AI-involvement in writing is out of control, esp. on HN. Em-dashes as the signal is the most-upsetting for me. I have been using them properly and frequently for decades. Slop is slop. If it is AI-slop then fine, go ahead and call it out.
