Ironic coming from the Guardian. One of their journalists consistently publishes ai slop and the paper is in denial about it.

It doesn't seem AI generated to me. Are we at the point where you have to write in a particularly outrageous style in order to not be accused of using AI?

I don't think we've gotten to the extent that all popular writing styles (eg. hamburger paragraphs) are considered suspect, but the "it's not just X, it's Y" construction[1] attracts particular scrutiny.

This is either ChatGPT or the one journalist who influenced all of ChatGPT's writing style.

If you look at the replies[1] to that tweet, many commenters point out his style was entirely different prior to chatgpt.

		I was giving this the benefit of the doubt as well and was just looking at his older writings that have a little "This article is more than 5 years old" banner above it. Looks totally different indeed.

Fair enough. It reads as extremely AI generated to me. But that isn’t completely reliable.
