    You HAVE seen it write. You have definitely seen it write poorly. However, you’ve also seen it write at a level where you didn’t even notice it wasn’t human written.

    Just because something CAN produce bad output does not mean it can only produce bad output.

    I can produce excellent output. I am also fully capable of producing slop. I’m human btw.

      Sure, but it’s not the CEO that makes the AI produce good texts. It was the copywriter that just got fired.

      I think any thing over 3 paragraphs I can tell every time. Im hearing it in youtube scripts. The word ‘honestly’ comes up far to much. As well as the phrase ‘not X but Y’.

    I “develop” software using codex/Claude. I am so so so so sick of the way Claude writes I think I’m going to puke.

  I’ve heard from copywriters who now fear losing their apartments, one who turned to sex work,

  One of these jobs is not like the others!
