This article incredibly well written (by a writing teacher). Some choice quotes

Writing isn’t just the production of sentences – it’s the training of endurance by way of sustained attention. It’s a way of learning what one thinks by attempting to say it

AI’s prose is perfectly mediocre, producing the sort of inert gloss that reads like a Frankensteinian amalgam of MFA-workshopped writing, an unintentional parody of the style it mimics. The resultant stories and essays are simulacra of thought, generated via pattern recognition learned from millions of human-penned words, rooted in no particular experience by no particular person

By contrast, student-written fiction is gloriously flawed, a struggle on the page between what the author is trying to say and what’s actually being said. The prose stumbles in a way reminiscent of a foal learning how to walk: even in their trembling legs I see hints of future grace. Such clumsiness is necessary; its absence would be proof of the foal never having learned to walk

"Writing isn’t just the production of sentences – it’s the training of endurance by way of sustained attention." feels like AI slop.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a joke, passing AI created text as AI writing critique.

Granted, AI wouldn't probably one shot it without a very specific prompt, but and afternoon of agentic workflow could probably produce it with minimal guidance.
