Nobody who reads or writes for a living thinks AI slop sounds good. It has a hideous corpo-speak prosody that’s like nails on a chalkboard to professionals.
People think because they can’t tell it’s not written by a human, someone who has read literally tens of thousands of essays (not to mention millions of fucking book pages) can’t tell either.
Absolutely bonkers.
Students who use AI are like little kids standing on each others shoulders in a trench coat and trying to order alcohol.
