Bible Scholar and youtube guy Dan McClellan had an amazing "high entropy" phrase that slayed me a few days ago.

He ended a critical commentary by suggesting that the author he was responding to should think more critically about the topic rather than repeating falsehoods because "they set off the tuning fork in the loins of your own dogmatism."

Yeah, AI could not come up with that phrase.

Agreed.

"AI" would never say "loins" (too sexual)

"AI" would never say "dogmatism" (encroaches on the "AI" provider's own marketing scheme)

A sloppy mixed metaphor?

I'm learning to like 'em more, along with every other human idiosyncracy. Besides, it makes a kind of sense, the idea of some resonance occuring in one's gusset. Timber timbre. Flangent thrumming.

Tuning fork in loins just makes me think of that chess cheating scandal with a vibrating butt plug.

I thought it was more creative than sloppy. Don't forget that many ordinary phrases were once jarring mixed imagery. To "wear your heart on your sleeve" was coined by Shakespeare; we still use it because it "stuck" due to its unorthodox phrasing.

If you like your prose to be anodyne, then maybe you like what AI produces.

I thought it was quite an effective metaphor!
