> I hate it because typically that style of writing was when someone cared about what they were writing.
I dont understand these takes. The opposite is true - humans good at writing who care about writing never produced these kind of texts.
People who dont care about writing, but need to crank up a lot of words would occasionally produce writing like that. Human slop existed before ai, but it was not the thing produced by people who write well and care.
You are effectively claiming that either:
AI created unprompted the eloquent speech it uses or that AI stole the unpopular style of eloquent speech from people who didn't know what they were talking about.
Neither of which is true because you are mistaking shit posts on social media as what everyone is talking about when discussing "AI posts".
I don't terribly care about replies or other short messages in this context. Wasting 30 seconds isn't worth complaining about.
But wasting 15 minutes trying to build up a mental model of a proposed solution only to realize it never existed is another thing entirely.
