Why AI writing is mid

I completely agree with this.

I think the writing style the LLM produces is an artistic decision made by committee prioritizing for inoffensiveness - what a coincidence that it comes out sounding like LinkedIn slop.

I don't really see any innate reason an LLM couldn't write well - it's an active decision by its creators to tell it not to.

Do you ever see later stage episodes of good shows where they’ve either changed writers or run out of ideas and formerly nuanced characters become stupid caricatures of themselves. Homer Simpson and Michael Scott are obvious examples. I think emulated writing is a bit like that, it’s very hard to copy a style without emphasizing the superficial stuff over the nuance that makes it actually good. I’m not convinced it would be easy here.

The nice thing about the current “Deloitte consultant” voice that all AI has is that it’s completely superficial and un-nuanced anyway so very easy for a computer to emulate.
