I saw someone point out something like: ai makes every sentence count. There’s no building or allowing a point to breathe. Every sentence is an axiom to get the meaning across, and its so grating

It's an interesting way to view it, because what happens in fact is likely the opposite - AI is asked to expand a few bullet points into a blog post

Maybe that's why the writing feels so terrible. The AI is attempting to maximize every sentence while simultaneously expanding on just a few actually meaningful points. And the net result of that dissonance is this rage-inducing vapidity. It's the written equivalent of the Uncanny Valley.

I think it has got past the uncanny valley really - it does read like a human, just a very attention-seeking one, like your typical LinkedIn salesman.

That's probably just default settings though - I asked it to rewrite, and most of the tell-tale signs are gone as I can see (apart from the em-dash)

Making fluff sound grandiose is probably what makes so grating.

Speaking of slop..

For real I’m starting to get a feel for the slop and the first sentance gave me pause. Never mind green username. Classic its not just that. Its this. LLM pattern.

28 year old, turning 29:

Spend as little time at home as possible. Travel. Find community. Live in a big city and make a ton of friends and throw lots of parties and bring people together, forming your own community. That's what I did and I feel like my 20s have been fulfilling, and I'm looking forward to what my 30s bring.

Journalling is extremely fulfilling to me and writing about things that bother me quiets my mind.

tell that to my mom

Yes

Very confused as to what you're trying to say
