On AI writing: style, precision, and the erosion of reading cost.

Drawing on their undergraduate thesis experience using word frequency analysis to identify authors, one writer notes that AI-generated text flattens style, making it difficult to perceive the original author or context. AI writing also reduces precision: models must rely on assumptions to stitch text together, depriving authors of the chance to spot logical flaws while drafting. The author reads AI-generated text at least one-third slower than usual. Combined with the verbosity common in most models, total reading time for readers increases significantly.
