[Article] A Glyph Is Not a Letter, a Token Is Not a Word, a Space Is Not a Space

[JoeyB]

One of the major issues with AI in scientific writing is that it takes a huge investment by the reader to distinguish between this phenomenon and AI talk. 

The human editing perceptibly falls off as you get toward the end of the paper, and throughout the sudden Thor hammerstrikes of rhetoric combined with "earn" crap phrasing is dirty. Limitations section isnt human written. My take on a lot of this is if you can remove the slogans and bumper sticker phrasing AI introduced there's actually some good nuggets here. The entire appendix has been abandoned by humans, it is iRobot. Its crap like "the graded boundaries are where an account of the text has still to earn.." and tjhen "joint profile is only useful if it discriminates…" blsahblahblah

But the findings are good stuff, they just should've used Fiver and paid a law or science journal editor to fix it up before uploading.

TLDR; genuinely good stuff stinkified by AI phrasing

Disclaimer: I'm a US lawyer and we're 1+ year into being slammed by AI slop and hallucinations in court filings so we're all PTSD on chatgpt and claude phrasing trauma.
