The simple sentences LLM keep generating break my brain, it's like 95% of writing is now 3rd grade level.

Compare that to e.g. Martin Amis: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Martin_Amis

Simple sentences are better then Martin Amis whoever it is. The issue with ai writing is using around seven million of useless words where 7 would be sufficient and clear.
