"I'm one of the few people you'll meet who's written more books than they've read."

— Garth Marenghi.

He was a great author and visionary of his time. If only he had had access to LLMs...

Text can have all of the following conditions:

human written, valuable, not slop human written, not valuable, not slop human written, valuable, slop human written, not valuable, slop ai written, valuable, not slop ai written, not valuable, not slop ai written, valuable, slop ai written, not valuable, slop

I don't think that valuable and slop are opposites, nor that ai written means slop.

Written by an entrepreneur who is "currently building Ritza, a technical writing agency."

Really 100% of the time there is a direct motive for the increasingly clever AI articles that say "human output is no different!"

Well, it isn't good either and that's the problem. It's just average.

If you ignore the bad thing then the bad thing is good. What the fuck are you talking about?
