Commentary on X

I think the biggest tell is they're all too long, lacking in contractions, use stuffy/overly formal word choice, and sound similar in style because the prompters can't actually judge the output, aka "the verification problem" better known as "if you don't already know what you're doing and/or don't have good taste/discernment then AI is actually less than worthless to you and only magnifies your suck problem."
