The four emboldened headings that make up the whole article sound like they’re straight outta chatgpt:
* what happened
* the devil is in the billing details
* the big but
* bottom line
I’m not sure that I’ve ever read a Fortune article before so maybe this is just their style. But I doubt it.
More seriously, I like the fact that articles follow a particular scheme: the problem, exposition, conflict, contemplation. Much like a scientific article follows a similar established pattern.
And emotionally now: complaints about slop are often as schematic as the slop.
If you look at other stories by the same author, such as this one https://www.techbrew.com/stories/openai-token-price-wars-ant... - the "TL;DR", "What happened", "Bottom line" format is consistent across their work. It looks to me like a style guide thing, not necessarily something introduced by LLMs.
(This is not about AI costing too much.)
