I absolutely hate that AI is the first thing I think of whenever I see things like this now.
Yes, innocent mistakes happen in writing and editing all the time. But look at that whole paragraph you're quoting. It does exactly what sloppily-guided AI does: It's using words in an order that sounds relationally intuitive, but taken as a whole it's ping-ponging across completely unrelated concepts. It can't have come from a human, unless, like you said, parts were removed in editing without re-reading the result.
I disagree. I have encountered tons of humans who do exactly that - Use "words in an order that sounds relationally intuitive, but taken as a whole it's ping-ponging across completely unrelated concepts". It's not unique to AI, it's fairly common across bullshitters of all stripes. But perhaps more tragically, it often happens to actually big thinkers whose brain is connecting dots so fast that they're eliding a bunch of important hops along the way, and while the former is more common, it's easy to confuse for the latter.
Hey, sometimes you get called on in standup when you're trying to do some work, and you just have to glue some words together. I'm just glad nobody's writing those words down and publishing them!
I think this will be the greatest travesty of AI, that will hurt us beyond what any stolen+regurgitated content ever will. AI is going to steal our faith in each other, our faith in fellow humans. because you'll never know for sure, if you're talking/listening to a human or not. This will lead people to treat each other worse because of being jaded by talking to bots all the time.
