This is not yet another comment session as we've seen on multiple multiple occasions in the past but an observation post, on what the failure modes for ai-generated essays are.
First, it keeps repeating the same word over and over, even when it gets annoying. Specially when nobody else uses the word. Words like 'crucial', 'delve', and so forth. Dude, who the heck are you and why the hell are you being so annoying, I feel like telling it because literally nobody likes it. Can you like just chill and not write anymore, because you're annoying me like hell and your writing is terrible.
Second it generates long strings of basically nonsensical phrases and sentences which sound big and important, but could be easily edited away with zero loss of meaning or style. It's mostly style over substance, nah all shit style and no substance. It's true the ai is good in some cases with editing, but it's a pity it can't edit itself. Sad that it can't say, hey so I've run out of shit to make, your essay's gonna be bad if you force me to write more. And that's why all the internet is going to be soon flooded with ai-generated shit nobody wants to read because it's just so goddawful, even when it's following somebody else's style. I could see one day improving, but without an 'angle', without a 'voice' it's just in a weird valley, an uncanny one.
Third, it repeats material without realizing it, and even prodding and prompting it won't make it realize that it's all the same effing material. It's almost like, dramatic pause, it doesn't understand the content of the material, and is just rehashing somebody's stolen content that the system has absolutely no intention of giving credit to.
Fourth, the examples it gives are more often than not terrible, often outright fabricated lies, and really weird and not very useful. It's hard to exactly see what point is being made with the examples, but it knows how to connect the concepts, so it does that without providing the connective link. The reader has to connect those ideas, like spirit reading.
And so on and so forth.
At least my homepage is done with editing, if I do it for a couple of more days, should be done by the end of the week. The 'steal this idea' part is going to be hell to edit, but the goal is to just remove certain phrases and words wholesale at some point than 'delve' deep. Keeping some of the bullshit around might actually be good?
