@TeensyTinyKobold @eff Yeah, I did jump on this one quote perhaps a bit too fast. My anger mostly comes from the negative parallelism, which is so overused by LLMs, being the *one thing* EFF picked out from the article. The mix of quote styles, shows something was copied, AI gen or not. When coding I've noticed AI overuses dashes in nouns that don't need them, and this article also has that ("start-up", "doubling-down", "Japanese-Americans"). Only the author knows the truth!

@mfru @eff I don't hate AI itself (I use it for coding help) but feel disrespected when I'm handed AI-generated text to read. I wouldn't have judged this line if it were not for the negative parallelism. These other typographical signs which weren't consistent throughout the whole article confirmed my suspicion.

@eff Please EFF, no more AI-generated content cowriting like this exact line you are quoting from the article

Just this line has: 1) smart quotes, where standard quotes are used elsewhere in the article, 2) em dash, 3) "Not this, but that" negative parallelism (see linked Wikipedia article).

Please tell your writers we DON'T want to read AI-generated stuff.
