    Seriously. AI talks like this because this is how effective communicators talk. The fact that people are getting turned off by this way of communicating and seeking out worse writing is concerning, and yet another way that AI is contributing to the dumbing down of society.

      I don’t think it’s great writing. To me, regardless of AI involvement, it sounds like it’s trying hard to be punchy. Big ideas, big impact! But the lack of structural variation and generic vocabulary make it bland, and bland writing doesn’t tickle one’s imagination or stick in one’s memory.

        It’s not necessarily great writing, but this style is an effective communication mode. There’s a reason that AI uses it, and it’s because it works. 🤷‍♂️

        Bland can have an impact. The man turned to hookers and blow instead of dusty libraries, cut him a break.

      It’s genuinely making me want to make mistakes just to seem human

      My CTO and I had a fun convo at 7am about em dashes before a big client preso. We all know we all do it. Why do we care at this point? It’s just being transparent.

        I don’t use AI at all, but I refuse to change my writing style just to avoid the appearance of AI use. After all, AI just copies human writers, and if it becomes the norm to write in a style that is distinct from typical AI output, then AI output will just change to the new style and we’ll be back at square one.

      Yall bitch about Ai slop and you can’t even see it when it’s served in front of you by an ex drug addict. Lol and I don’t mind Hunter, but he doesn’t speak like this, the cadence is clearly AI, and the writing fucking sucks it just sounds profound to minds as deep as a puddle. Not to mention, who gives a fuck what he has to say?

        I hate AI slop as much as the next person, but some people become so obsessed with finding and pointing out that something is AI that everything starts to look like AI. They also tend to use it to dismiss the messaging, as you are doing. In this case, we’ll never know if this is AI or not, and it really doesn’t matter, because Hunter is correct, and he’s using his platform to point out a systemic issue that needs to change.
