OpenAI Documentation Criticized For Excessive AI-Generated Slop
A sharp X critique of OpenAI's Codex docs turned into a broader argument about whether AI-written technical writing is getting harder for humans to read.
Software engineer and writer Gergely Orosz called out what he described as AI-written filler in OpenAI's "Using Goals in Codex" documentation, using the page as an example of repetitive phrasing and extra explanation that he argued does not clarify much. His complaint was not about Codex itself. It was about prose he argued does not sound like something a person would write or want to read.
