Is this some sort of joke or did somebody actually unironically do a vividly piss-poor job of writing an essay attempting to make the case that writing with AI is not shameful?
This is satire, right? The errors I see are the ones AI would actually be good at pointing out. Meanwhile, some of the phrasing is clearly suggested by AI in the worst way.
I only made it two paragraphs in so maybe it is self-aware after, but it starts out too rough for me to invest any further time. I’m guessing it’s an ESL person using AI to help translate? I hope?
I also made it about 2 paragraphs and had to go back and read more to double check. It felt like one of those recipe websites that starts with a story of their grandmother migrating from Italy, several more paragraphs and some titled sections that still don’t have much info. Except there was not much of a payoff on this one. Could not tell for how long to cook the salmon because I lost interest, don’t care of ai wrote it or not.
It strikes me that it might actually be a bit of plain, old-fashioned trolling - deliberstely poor but with no signal that it’s satire, just to draw more or less the response I posted, or more broadly to reflect poorly on the point it claims to be making.
It’s strange, whatever it is.
