This is word salad. Was this article written by ChatGPT again?

I agree it’s not a well written article but also find calling out “is this written by ai” to be a very low effort and much overdone comment as well

Edit: guess that’s my problem though based on the world we live in now

They have a bit of history (and a few others do) of putting out garbage articles written by AI and edited by their latest intern.

Does it matter? Much of the article is fact.

(That much of the article is depressing reading for many Western readers doesn't make it any less factual.)

True, but 200 words of fact mixed with 30,000 words of filler makes an article really hard to understand. I suppose talking in prose and grandeur to only get to the point 30 minutes later is considered eloquent writing but to me it hits a red flag that there’s not much in the article if so many filler words and paragraphs of meandering around a subject.

The "point" is the meandering. The medium is really the message here.

Here's an example sentence - "But the nanoscale work of chipmaking is monotone only if your ears aren’t sharp enough to hear the symphony." See that nano, mono rhyme? It's intentional. It's OK if you personally don't like this sort of thing, but it's fun for some:)

"...200 words of fact mixed with 30,000 words of filler..."

Agree fully. Padding—presumably paid by the chr$.

The whole thing is so unnatural to read I won’t be surprised.

Yes. He's one of the very few outsiders ever allowed to enter an TSMC fab. What does he write about? The air shower. The ceiling lights!

It's not a useless article, though. It gets across that this stuff is really important and too centralized.

Author is a she.

Maybe that's why she was allowed in.
