The abstract is AI generated and pretty poorly written at that. A paper about grading AI output doesn’t even grade their own abstract.

Can’t believe the abstract has an em dash, a “not X but Y” and a “rule of three” in the first sentence. This is ridiculous.

The reference implementation of slop :)

Speaking of which, does anyone know a resource that lists these "tells"? I used to notice them all the time, but now that they've permeated 2/3rds of what I see and hear, I'm starting to go a bit numb.

Every time I see people complaining about clear writing with signposts, I feel like I'm in Idiocracy.

You might have unaddressed writing trauma. Just because the abstract isn't dogshit, doesn't mean it isn't templatized mad sloplibs. The numbers, the framing, the wins; itz giving people hives.
