30 minutes...

This article is written by a human in exactly 30 minutes of time. You should write them too.

Here are the ground rules:

Human-driven content is becoming a rarity

Humans are writing less and less. Our mistakes and our identity is (slowly?) disappearing. I probably write fairly well given my background - yet I’d venture to suggest that this is perhaps soemtimes also a disadvantage. “Good Writing” in the traditional sense, is often easily executed by AI - so we need to embrace our flaws and imperfections and get on with it. The world needs more Bukowskis and infinitely-less Corpo-slop Greylings.

An Evolving Sixth Sense for AI

At risk of venturing into the mystic, it is undeniable that after spending sufficient time with an AI system, one can begin to learn to recognize its characteristics by “feel” alone – Humans are the masters of pattern recognition, after all.

Even today, we can still spot bad hand and senseless composition a mile away.

Textual content is the same - there’s an intangible essence, a certain predictibility, a nascent feeling in the air around the nature and phrasing of certain words that tells us right away that we’re looking at something not written by a Human. Perhaps it’s the cadence? Or cookie-cutter pop-sci-inspired smarter-than-thou-but-pretending-not-to-be writing style these models have been instructed to embody.
