I remember skimming this article. My initial feeling was that it was written by someone who wasn't a native English speaker. It seems like I'll have to pay more close attention to that feeling in the future.
I'd hate to end up in a situation where non-native speakers are accused of being bots...
The generated article follows in this vein. That’s what gpt will replicate, not the simplicity of a non native speaker (that would be easier to spot). It will follow the amorphous blob shape of saying something, but nothing, with the ominous undertone of ‘you know what’s going on, but you wouldn’t dare speak up’.
How many of you read something from a company and instantly think ‘this sounds like horseshit?’. How long did we let that go on? Forever right? We lost this fight before it even happened.
The first I heard of this was 15 years ago[0]. The original article is no longer online, so the link takes to a PDF rendition. It cites the source.

I read the article with a motivation trying to find fault in it. Albeit being somewhat repetitive, it doesn't appear to be a piece that is inhuman.
The model even knows to demonstrate its idea with examples, which is pretty wow worthy.
