That's my current AI detector smell.

> He discontinued the blood exchange after data showed “no benefits.” A suspicious person might note that a vampire would say exactly this after the media got too interested.

I don't think it's the media (clearly the younger generations are media friendly), it's probably pressure from the older vamps.

I felt the same way and came to the comments to see if anyone else smelled it. It's either AI-assisted writing or people are genuinely starting to write like how ChatGPT sounds.

First, the structure of this satirical post is headings and bullet points. Fine, whatever, a lot of people write this way.

Then there's the exhausting litany of super short sentence fragments.

> He published this. Openly. In a book. As a priest.

This is how airport novels and LinkedIn "thought leadership" clickbait is written, so ok, fine, I'll let it pass.

Then I started to notice a lot of: "It's not X. It's Y" or "this isn't just A. It's B."

> Feeding isn’t nutrition. It’s dialysis.

Before LLMs, people weren't writing this way. At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon: it's insulting to read, like the reader is a 5-year-old.

When several of these smells pile up, I close the tab immediately and try to forget about it. This one was so egregious that I had to read the whole thing and then come to the comments to rant a bit.

It's not ELI5. It's ELY5.

The author has a bunch of AI stuff in their bio, so I assume this is partially or fully generated unless otherwise disclaimed.

But hey, maybe someone can get an AI to read it.

Yeah, that does sound pretty AI-ish / marketing-bloggy. It’s not wrong, but it has a few classic “AI vibes”. If you want, I can........oh no!!!!!!

NO CARRIER

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry about that. Let me correct my earlier post and assert with certainty that this post was not at all written by an AI.

> This is a critical narrative shift.

also this, having done a number of ai conspiracy for funsies, that's always the mid point

however I don't mind ai slop, if it's creative and well thought out (and editorialized, as this seem to be)

It had me at "The Twist".

Well, hello there!
