I'm really exhausted, tired & sick 馃あ, of finding AI-slop on research papers, X & basically everywhere else.. Please writers understand that AI-GENERATED TEXT is NOT the SAME thing as WRITING THAT COMMUNICATES WELL. If you're trying to explain something, your job isn't to sound intelligent, it is to make the reader understand (o.w. why are u even writing??). To do this, one must (1) most importantly RESPECT THE READER's TIME, (2) & therefore write clearly & precisely, (3) & think about what the reader is thinking now (what is she expecting next, what does she need clarification on next?) There's already far too much to read. If you write lengthy essays where it's hard to even make sense of one line (despite repeating it a dozen times in classic AI slop style), people will just move on to the next thing!!! Clarity > complexity. Precision > verbosity.

Please writers understand that AI-GENERATED TEXT is NOT the SAME thing as WRITING THAT COMMUNICATES WELL. If you're trying to explain something, your job isn't to sound sophisticated (AI slop is failing at this too btw), it is to make the reader understand (o.w. why are u even writing??).
