It seems that decreases error curve always has the same shape. Is there a name for this shape? I assume you could sample just a few points and have a good estimate of what the error will be for any truncation. And, this makes me naively ass

If an author let AI do 90 to 95% of the work, cleaned up the remaining 5 to 10% themselves, would you say AI or the author wrote it? Because this is roughly the split between an author and an editor, with human writing, now.
