alt Hacker NewsAI writing sucks because it doesn't have a voice. It's not trying to say anything. Human writers are interesting because they offer a unique perspective from their lived experience.
It also struggles to maintain deep coherence. This is all probably related. It might be very hard or impossible to have deep coherence without human-like goals, memory, or sense of self.
I don't think lived experience matters too much to me. In some sense, AI has very unique "lived" experience, which is what creates the voice it uses ("doesn't have a voice" seems like an impossibility to me by definition).
I find AI very "human-esque", and its "self-reported" phenomenology is very entertaining to me, at least.
I also think AI writing might feel trashy also because most human writing is trashy.
