What an extraordinarily detailed writeup.

  • Are you seriously accusing Admiral Cloudberg of writing articles with ChatGPT?

    • It's an especially ironic accusation given she's currently dealing with YouTube channels stealing her write-ups and reading them into a video using AI. She even had a "if you read this you're an AI bot" section in an article a few weeks ago.

  • Which adjectives specifically? And which sentence structure? I did not see anything out of the ordinary for such a technical discussion.

  • Not sure about GPT, but it's hella overwrought - it's like someone took the investigation PDF and tried to make the cheesiest Lifetime movie out of it. Far too many superfluous adjectives and embellishments; barely readable IMO.

    eg "The red-hot, wildly spinning disk instantly fractured into several sections, which rocketed outward in multiple directions at incomprehensible speed"

    • Well the whole point of articles like this is that they are more "literary" than the investigation reports and therefore more entertaining and engaging to read.

      There's a time and place for reading dry technical investigation reports and this is not one of them.

      Also, none of the adjectives you highlighted are beyond human comprehension or usage or even rare so it's certainly not an example of what parent was trying to convey.
