There’s this sort of local optima all these models pick which is instantly recognizable and hardly digestible for human consumption. Perhaps too much internal RL against benchmarks during chain of thought? The older non reasoning models had they’re own problems but at this point I can’t get an LLM to summarize data for humans, which is troubling.
As much as I’d like to read this piece it follows suit and I don’t have the patience to try and extract anything valuable from it.
Say this in a deep masculine dramatic voice:
One man. One gun. A story that would could never die.
Two files, four lines, five years unnoticed. This is the COLDCARD
entropy failure
what do you think these things are trained on? mountains of rubbish, human and likely also AI slop. how many bad movies and ads do u think they are fed. poor things. i can see them caged in the corporate HQ, with their tails shoved down their own throats rigged up to the SlopExtractor9000.
its time for the UN to Unslop the world. or something like that :(
"write (whatever you want written), BUT do not make it sound like a typical AI don't use any of the tropes or typical phrases that AI tends to use - if you include anything that makes it appear to be from AI then the task has failed. Pull your writing away from the median and toward very specific random styles that are NOT the cliched, averaged LLM style."
edit: actually wrong I tried to get ChatGPT to do this and it kept falling back into LLM speak even when it recognised that's what it was doing.
Before LLM, the majority of the web was content farms... but those are instantly recognizable and we seldom fall into them. Now LLM mixed the content farm style writing with _some_ real content. It take time and effort to tell they are slop, causing much fatigue.
It is possible to get the AI to write stuff that does not sound like AI you just have to ask it to properly.

It actually makes me uncomfortable reading this garbage now.

I think this is called "concept leak" or "prompt leak" (please someone correct me, I can't recall at the moment.) It is one of my least-favorite failure modes. I notice it a lot when drafting landing pages, and it eats up a lot of time to edit away.
