I love boardgames too and could wax lyrical about them for ages. Sucks that this article was clearly written by AI.

Yep: "The tower itself isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a physical presence that creates tension and anticipation the moment it hits the table. Add the Dark Horde expansion and suddenly the game isn’t just something you play—it’s something you engage with." 100% in Pangram, BTW.

But there's enough biographical details and concrete facts that I think he at least wrote the outline before having ChatGPT rewrite it.

Man I suffer from this recently. Everything I read feels AI written but because it’s just a guess I get into this loop of questioning myself and then the whole read is ruined for me.

I hate it so much.

    So much is AI written now. I can only hope that more people start to notice and react negatively so that others will be discouraged from doing it. People are using ChatGPT to write the most ridiculous things for them, sometimes only a few sentences!

    For me, the emdashes and the constant use of "it's not just [X], it's [hyperbolic Y]" gives it away.

    This has happened to me so much recently that it’s actually pushing me towards reading proper books. I’m so sick of everything sounding the same.
