How does A.I. stack up against some of the world’s best human writers? Take our quiz.

nyti.msWho’s a Better Writer: A.I. or Humans? Take Our Quiz.A.I. chatbots contain the sum of all human knowledge. That can make them pretty good writers.

wow "which is better, Carl Sagan as published or multiple iconic Carl Saganisms in a slightly different order", really makes you think, guess I'll give these guys all my money and then [foghorn] [slinky falling down the stairs]

even preferring human writing, NYT seems to suggest perhaps I don’t?

But there's literally nothing wrong with that McCarthy sentence in grammar, punctuation or sense.

I'm seriously trying to figure out what punctuation this writer thinks it's missing. My best guess is that they misunderstood it.

I agree, and I'd further guess that they misunderstood it because they're an LLM bsky.app/profile/cara...

In fact it's so egregious I've come around to the suspicion this is LLM-generated. Like, a human *could* make this mistake - if they'd never read the context and/or did not read English well - but it's way more likely of an LLM IMO. It's the exact "vibes over substance" mistake you'd expect of one.

All I can think of is that they thought there was a comma missing after "As well" and it is supposed to mean "Also, ask men what they think of stone."

Yes, that's all that I could think of.
