I thought those sentences were examples of excellent writing.

They don't sound AI to me - is that the implication, that it is? And the bit about 'Heroes' reminds me of his descriptions making fun of heroes in the stories about Cohen the Barbarian.

It sounds very AI. Current AIs' ideas of good writing involve weird metaphors, references to sensing things you can't sense, and tricolons.

That's what I think the comment meant.. I was trying to put my finger on the word (other than slop) for the sort of low-effort, gimmicky pastiche that LLM's enable..but it might not exist yet.

Giving objects interiority is a very Pratchett move.
