The uncanny valley of text. It looks and sounds like a human, but lacks the "soul" / humanity that our intuition somehow perceives.

It's really strange... I see some text with obvious tropes and sometimes I read something and there's no obvious AI trope... but it's just not human?

Exactly, that's a great way to describe it.

And yet, while on HN we're critical readers and can still see through it, there's many places on the internet where it just wouldn't stand out. I try to avoid them, but they would just blend in to e.g. youtube comments.

Unless the YT comments I've read have been bots since forever.
