I have been reading through pharma textbooks written before AI and realized it's so relieving to follow language that has been crafted over multiple editions by humans. When I started to realize how much easier it was for me to read textbooks than the average AI-assisted text, that's when I realized we are truly cooked (at least for this chapter of AI + writing).

Can you give an example of a pharma textbook that has gotten worse during the AI-slopp-ocalypse? Bonus Internet points for sharing any especially egregious passages!

They didn't claim they've read ai pharma textbooks, just used a pharma textbook (which I guess is heavy to read) as a comparison to being easier to read than ai written text.

Amen. I'll never, ever stop writing my own articles by hand.

I don't mind if my English isn't entirely idiomatic and all my sentence constuctions aren't "by the book" correct. I want to write, and I want anyone reading my writing to know that it's the product of thinking and editing that's unique to me.

"One almost forgets how easy it is to read a wall of text when it was written by a human. "

Erm, this really depends on the human I think.

you mean you don't like phrases like "here’s what they don’t tell you" !?

And the real load-bearing part? It's not that, it's this. And honestly? That's great!

You were right to call me out on that.

At this point I just get frustrated reading AI prose. I tried for the past few months to just shut my mouth and force myself to read AI prose, since r/singularity wasted no breath telling people how they're Luddites for not marrying an AI.

But I can't do this any longer. I'm tired, boss.

They should train AI for this, God it would help.

Lowkey so true. I was wondering why I was able to read to the end without getting lost or distracted lol
