Have you ever touched spider web? Have you walked in a forrest and got spider web stuck on your face or clothes impossible to get rid of? Y’know how in such a moment you immediately think ”Oh yeah, this is exactly like my ol’ nan’s skin, real silky like”? Why are people gaslighting themselves to think that this kind of cheap garbage has not been produced with LLM’s for years at this point? People just actually getting used to the ”style” and starting to recognise it.

I hope to god those paragraphs were written by a LLM, since otherwise there no excuse in publishing such drivel. But the fact that people (many many people) buy this, read this and go ”yeah granma’s spider skin, that makes sense”, is far more scarier than few ghostwriters losing commissions.

Or should I say: ”Honestly? Me thinks we cooked.”
