If you look at AI-written text, one major problem with it is the overuse of sentence fragments, very short sentences [1] and, more generally, a staccato style of writing rather than having the discourse flow. This can make the writing feel hard to follow. It's sort of the opposite problem of run-on sentences. Overuse of metaphors is also something that is counterproductive when you want to be understood, and LLMs make them a habit.

You can combat that to some extent by giving the model a style guide to curb the worst excesses, but some are likely to still slip through.

It doesn't bother me much personally, but for plenty of people it's a nails-on-chalkboard thing.

[1] For example, the problem with the em-dashes is not the em-dashes, but that it's just another case of getting hit with punctuation every few words.

It doesn't make sense! AI-generated text is insufferable. It requires so much parsing to get to what it's trying to say. Once I figure out what it's trying to say, I can generally say it with fewer words and less pompous structuring. I bet you could too, and then your blog post would actually be readable!

I sincerely hope you were taking the piss with that first paragraph.

> Not sure why people hate so much AI generated text if it makes sense.

1. It says you did not put much effort in it

2. It is grating to read

3. It's dehumanizing
