@kichae@wanderingadventure.party I think LLM writing has the “Average size” problem.
Background: in the 50s the US Air Force had fit issues in their planes. They discovered that their “average size” cockpits didn’t fit most pilot’s actual dimensions in all categories, leading to discomfort for almost everyone.
I feel like LLM writing is this way. By being a statistical product of many writers voices, even within the same genre, it ends up fitting none of them, giving it a distinctive “uncanny” twinge in the voice. I think that is part where the skin crawl comes from.

@NullNowhere@sakurajima.social Yeah. They also just suffer from what they call “context poisoning”, where certain words and phrases are only really used in certsin contexts, and so the model will basically be locked into a very narrow range of statistically related phrases. The result is that they read like a rejected Onion article.
