Web writers, the AI has been trained on your public work, and it shows. You all have taught AI some truly terrible writing habits HFY writers have taught AI it has to start stories with “Bob sat on the bridge of the Earth Ship Big Birtha”. So AI does just that, even when I was listening to a narration today. I did not know it was AI, as the introductory narration was pretty decent by free-on-the-web standards. Then it just broke with that and had some character I didn’t care about sitting somewhere. It was so bad it made me stop to check the comments, which confirmed the story was by an AI. You all have such bad writing habits that the AI has learned to be not even as good. This is a lesson to us all. With computers, you must remember rubbish in; rubbish out (to my US readers, garbage in; garbage out). It is probably because the LLM industry is so desperate for content to train on that it does not distinguish between writers learning to write and writers having learned to tell great…
