Maybe it’s just me but (and I ask this as something of an ML practitioner myself) can anyone at Anthropic or Open AI or any of the frontier labs work on summarizing content into a format where a human won’t immediately vomit? 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…

Yes, you say:

"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.

I'm starting to notice that LLMs tend to speak in the form of movie trailers.

Say this in a deep masculine dramatic voice:

     One man.  One gun.   A story that would could never die.
Compare that with this Coldcard page:

     Two files, four lines, five years unnoticed.   This is the COLDCARD
     entropy failure
It's trying too hard to replicate a dramatic movie arc with every... single... sentence...

Since this has become a thread about complaining about unreadable, brain-killing AI slop, I'll add mine:

>Six steps, no jargon. The note beside each one is the precise technical version, for anyone who wants to check the work.

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.

You are correct, and that style of writing is called "broetry".

"This is the part worth sitting with." - written by AI. It is possible to get the AI to write stuff that does not sound like AI you just have to ask it to properly.

There are so many AI-isms in this. It is frankly astonishing to me that AI detectors are so poor when this is screaming out.

> Six steps, no jargon. The note beside each one is the precise technical version, for anyone who wants to check the work.

It actually makes me uncomfortable reading this garbage now.

That's a great name for it; I've seen it on AI-generated form pages, where a version of the requirement text is included alongside an input.

You hear it on TV too often political pundits have this exact turn of phrase.

"But here's the part keeping me up at night....."
