> The whole thing feels weirdly written

I keep repeating this: AI written prose lives in an uncanney valley that is both clearly grammatically correct but still weirdly off.

Why do we think that the AI generated code is any better?

I described AI-generated code as feeling very "alien" to me, but I'm not sure that that is the correct term.

I think it's mostly just that we are very good at picking up on patterns, and it's extremely noticeable that half the internet has started writing in the same voice with the same tics. If Claude were quietly posting away in 2017 I don't think anyone would think twice about its output.

We're well past the point where humans can reliably identify AI generated content. Sure, you might often correctly identify AI content, but part of that is due to how much AI content there is; you can call everything AI generated and still have a high ratio of correctness. Meanwhile, I guarantee there's a lot of AI content that you're failing to notice.

Rather than using the AI bogeyman, why not analyze things as-is? If it's good or bad, does it matter if it's AI or human? Or are you in denial about some existential fear?
