This article is almost insulting with how obvious it's written with AI. Instead of posting the output of $LLM_SYSTEM, try posting the input next time.
It wasn’t X, it was <X reworded>.
We didn’t need X, we needed <X reworded>.
This wasn’t about X, it was about <X reworded>.
This resulted in X rather than <X reworded>.
Over and over and over again.

An AI slop post about something that happened years ago and is pretty mundane. Nice.
I wonder if the author deliberately wrote it like AI would, or whether the AI did that for them.
Someone at OpenAI please, for the love of everything good in this world, please please please train your chat bot to stop ending replies with the insipid "It isn't just A — it’s a whole new B" pattern.
“No em dashes” is hard coded in my pre-prompts. I’m with you. It’s fine occasionally for a human to do it but it messes up screen readers and TTS because they don’t even pause. They treat it like a hyphenated word.
AI writing being easy to detect is a good thing IMO. I personally won't read anything from someone who thinks it improves their writing
Except, as is often the case, it’s not that AI itself is easy to detect, but that bad uses of AI are. You are almost certainly reading far more AI generated text than you realise it just doesn’t register as such.
The post-2022 Internet feels dead compared to what came before it. Now I basically have a curated list of content creators I trust, and rarely open newly published content anymore.
There's a good draft that's buried under all the word soup
