      I’ve been saying this for a while now, but AI articles read like bad high school essays. “State your thesis. Write a paragraph that echos your thesis. Say something that may or may not be related to your thesis. Finish by repeating your thesis.”

        There are probably enough school essays in most AI training sets to represent a measurable percentage. (Although there is probably a much larger percentage of pornographic fan fiction with subliterate spelling and grammar, so maybe we should be glad that we’re only getting bad high school essays.)

    • Yeah, same thought here. Even more revealing (damning?) Is the fact that it was written by ‘staff.’

      I see this style more and more, and they always serm to be written by generic ‘staff.’

    How some federal employees are pretending to work using ‘mouse jigglers’.

    FTFY.

    This happens everywhere that managers are more interested in warming chairs than actually being productive:

    • If you measure your employees by their work done, this isn’t an issue; if they’re getting what you think should be eight hours of work done in four, you promote them, pay them more and/or give them more responsibilities.
    • If you measure them by the percentage of hours they spend warming a chair, they’ll…warm the chair.
