AI overview

François Chollet said on X that the most grating aspect of LLM writing is that it tries to turn every single sentence into a punchline or a witty slogan, without regard for which sentences need emphasis and which do not. He called this "a tiring formula, overused." Chollet's criticism targets a stylistic tendency in text generated by large language models, not a specific model or company. He did not name any product or give examples.
