Ironically, I have never seen a piece, longform or short, about the hot topic of how or why AI writing sucks/is all the same/lacks soul/is making everyone bad at writing/etc which was actually written well or felt original. I think I know why.

Compelling, original writing generally requires the author to have interest in and passion for its subject. Anyone who is passionate about writing styles and whatnot and takes a true look at AI writing will have much more interesting things to say about it than parroting the same cynical commentary as the legions of others we've all seen. Like, when you've look into this new kind of thing, the idea of joining in the shallow whining chorus to sound a bit smart and sophisticated and cynical has utterly no appeal; it's embarassing. I could write disquisitions upon disquisitions about the anatomy of AI writing, its evolution over time, what engaging with it does to a mind; most of my friends, who have also looked into the thing, also have books latent in them, and these books would be like nothing ever written before because they come from modeling things that never existed before.

Fuck off with "it's all the same" - you're not qualified to judge; you don't even understand a single instance of it because you've never really looked; I can smell it.
