    This article reads like AI wrote it. It repeats itself very early on the nature of offences, then it reads like the introduction to actual journalism before stopping cold.

      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.)

        Thsts how good articles are written by humans, though. Books too. Emails too

        People should be able to speed read your content without missing the most important points, because its reiterated and stated in s few different ways

      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.’
