The average person, yes. A professional, competent writer, editor, journalist? Not even close (currently).

Again - did you even read the article you are commenting on? The author gives an example of a novel that had a huge advance offered on it and then pulled because of AI concerns... in order to get to the point of having the offer a bunch of competent writers, editors etc didn't notice.

Oh, yes, because one example makes this generally true.

I'm sorry, but I have about 1M counter examples.

no, you don't have 1M counter examples. I'd also wager the vast majority of examples that you do have are on older models of LLMs that have been vastly surpassed in capabilities in the last 6 months.

You are essentially talking out a hole on the bottom half of your body.

It's annoying to come here and read 80% of comments by people who clearly didn't even read the article in question, but decided this was an excellent time to trot out their anti-AI screeds that totally fail to engage with the actual article. Human slop.

Human slop is right!

Stealing that phrase. Thank you for it.
