I'm extremely irritated that the post is being accused of being AI slop. I have a visceral reaction to AI generated writing, and this post rang 100% human to me.
Makes me actually quite angry that one can no longer use short, pithy sentences without being accused of using AI. If AI causes everyone to reject actual decent writing because someone can't distinguish between it and that from a human, we have other problems on our hand.
The content of the post resonated with me 100% as well.
- kuschku 2mo agoSame, the post has an entirely different speech rhythm than AI. In Walter Murch's "In the Blink of an Eye" he describes how, when cutting a movie, the reason cuts work at all is because human experience has cuts: we blink. More specifically, we blink when a thought is complete, to finish one thought and begin another. When a movie is well-edited, the audience will adapt to the rhythm of the movie, and you know you've placed a cut at the right moment when the audience will blink at the exact moment of the cut. The same "rhythm of thought" applies to written essays as well, and once you get a feeling for it, you'll notice how AI generated text follows no such rhythm, no such structure. AI generated text has the rhythm of TV salespeople combined with tiktok brainrot, overwhelming you while at the same time saying nothing at all.
