The writing is made worse by a specific choice which the commentator identified. That’s actionable feedback.

how is it made worse in this case?

  • Because it's a strong signal of AI slop. Why put in more work than the "author" did?

    If the author generated text that required no effort, and has no understanding of the contents of the material generated, and no self-awareness of their behavior and how the audience will receive it, it definitely doesn't warrant wasting a single second reading it.

    Now, granted, maybe they did review it, maybe they did understand it, maybe they did know how it would be received and merely made a mistake, but how are we to know? It quacks like a duck.
