Can we stop calling specific literary devices as automatically AI?
Yes, LLMs overuse that pattern. But it's a valid rhetorical device used for many , many years by human authors. Quite often too, especially in philosophical writing, and fantasy novels.
I'll give you that it wasn't often used in blogs or tech articles, but LLMs have been around long enough to have influenced human writing in other domains without the entirety of the content itself being LLM generated.
But its called out so often I swear people online will go read some classics and accuse them of being AI generated.
The amount of em dashes in Nietzche; the amount of semicolons in Hegel
I just assume anyone posting it, at this point, doesn't read, doesn't write, or simply isn't clever enough to say anything that's actually worth listening to. Pure noise that won't go away because it makes the teenagers feel validated in how mad they are about AI.
