> I am starting to figure out why AI prose is so hard to parse. AI writes English like it writes code.

I think sometimes it just writes nonsense. As in there are words there, they're all strung together in a grammatically correct way, and the words are "right", but the sentences just don't contain any actual information.

There have been sentences and paragraphs that I have read over and over, and I just cannot extract any meaning from them. It's very, very strange, and I think that's the uncanny valley of it. It's all there, in the sense of words and grammar, but there's nothing there, the sense of knowledge and meaning.
