It's exhausting to read.

I can't quite put my finger on it; obviously the "it's not this. It's that." is part of it, but even without the obvious tells that writing was AI-generated/improved, it's just so tiring to read?

Maybe a linguist can chime in why all these texts are so samey, cloying and annoying to read? Is it (just) the pacing?

I wonder if part of it is that we're mentally trying to get the actual meaning and thoughts out of it. It's inflated like trying to read a bad students essay that's struggling for word count? I wish people would just post their prompts directly.

It reminds me of the "overenthusiastic youtuber" presentation style, with jump cuts etc., just in written form. From its prevalence I can only assume that some audiences prefer it - I'd be more interested to know why that is.
