The thing that absolutely burns my biscuits about this is that human writers don't "sound like 'AI'". The fucking slopgrift machines sound like us because it STOLE MASSIVE TRANCHES OF OUR WORK.
It's blaming the *victims of* the theft for the grift *built on* the theft.

Is fun how the general public is convinced that things I've been using for decades—em-dashes, the rule of three, and now, apparently, serif fonts—are signifiers for slop.
We're training people to use bad heuristics and we're going to make both design and the written word worse.

I was talking about this the other day. The return of Serifs, their cultural association with AI, and by association, slop.
AI companies are using serif to project humanity. Critics are calling it “tasteslop.”
