Maybe it’s just me but (and I ask this as something of an ML practitioner myself) can anyone at Anthropic or Open AI or any of the frontier labs work on summarizing content into a format where a human won’t immediately vomit?

There’s this sort of local optima all these models pick which is instantly recognizable and hardly digestible for human consumption. Perhaps too much internal RL against benchmarks during chain of thought? The older non reasoning models had they’re own problems but at this point I can’t get an LLM to summarize data for humans, which is troubling.

As much as I’d like to read this piece it follows suit and I don’t have the patience to try and extract anything valuable from it.

Your competitor has a $100m self-implosion in what must be an all-time slam dunk marketing moment and you spend 7 cents generating a marketing blog post instead of having someone write it.

"This is the part worth sitting with." - written by AI.

It is possible to get the AI to write stuff that does not sound like AI you just have to ask it to properly.

It's not gone. It was just transferred in payment to someone who understood the rules of the game better.

Since this has become a thread about complaining about unreadable, brain-killing AI slop, I'll add mine:

>Six steps, no jargon. The note beside each one is the precise technical version, for anyone who wants to check the work.

I think this is called "concept leak" or "prompt leak" (please someone correct me, I can't recall at the moment.) It is one of my least-favorite failure modes. I notice it a lot when drafting landing pages, and it eats up a lot of time to edit away.

Good info, but em dash slopmaxxing, slop prose and AI design is such a buzzkill.
