Op is saying it sounds like it was written like an LLM

I don't get it either.

Since LLMs emulate human writing, what is it about that sentence that gives away that it was written by an LLM rather than human? Haven't we seen plenty of hollow-sounding self-aggrandizing marketing copies like this one pre-LLMs? What is it that is wrong with this sentence?

Please don't say it's an em-dash...

ok... it's an AI company, It'd be odd if it weren't written by AI, no?

  • I'm all for dogfooding but if you work for a bicycle company it shouldn't mean you can't drive to work. The right tool for the right job.

  • Would that be odd? AI companies are still staffed by people, and large announcements like acquihires certainly feel like they could use a slightly more human touch if they truly mean a lot to the company.

  • It is odd that they didn’t care or have the wherewithal to make it not sound obviously like an LLM wrote it.

    • Eh if anyone is all in on AI and it replacing human writing it would be an AI company

      But then that means if you're a PR or communications person working at this startup (or at Meta?) your job is not secure and that your days there are probably numbered, which I'm sure is great for morale...
