Why is AI such a bad writer? Phrasing like this feels like reading Fox News.

I saw someone point out something like: ai makes every sentence count. There’s no building or allowing a point to breathe. Every sentence is an axiom to get the meaning across, and its so grating

It's an interesting way to view it, because what happens in fact is likely the opposite - AI is asked to expand a few bullet points into a blog post

A better question is "Why can't the devs producing code with AI spot the same poor patterns in the code they are generating?"

Maybe my point is that, to a poor speaker of English, the AI blogpost looks good and reads well. In much the same way, to a poor programmer, the AI produced code looks good and reads well.

In a nutshell, if it generates poor English, WTF would anyone think it generates anything but poor code?

To be honest it still feels crazy that AI is a writer at all. But yeah, not a good one
