I like how story pair #1’s AI just took the prompt and basically kept repeating “yeah, them’s fish” over and over without any attempt at significance

Here are the stories they used, if you want to decide for yourself. Although it won’t be a blind test since in these documents they tell you which is which:

Having read the compared stories now, I have to say I’m deeply offended at the results. The AI stories are quicker to read because they are chains of cliches which state and restate the theme of the story (as stated in the prompt) outright instead of demonstrating it through the charged and personal perspectives of the characters. The LLM generated text is meaningless word sausage formatted to be easier to read for people who don’t read much. I have never read something more cynical, and I have read plenty of trash by authors who hate their audience and consider them all to be idiots.

You nailed it. For me, the human-written stories were interesting because it’s not immediately apparent where they’re going. The prose evokes images and emotion, and I want to put the pieces together to identify the theme.
The AI stories blurt out the theme almost immediately, and then my attention wanes because there’s nothing left in the text except for a base retelling of events.

Most people are dumb and are functionally illiterate.

Too many people love a piece of media that makes them feel smart without effort. They don’t want to think, they want to believe they already know anything important already and they love to have that reinforced. They read something written by an adult human and their thinky meat gets all hurty, but if they read the dumbed down, stripped bare version that spoon-feeds the “answers” to them, they get all tingly in their bits.
