People say they prefer stories written by humans over AI-generated works, yet new study suggests that’s not quite true

  This is kind of stating the obvious. Humans can write shit stories too.

  Reed Johnson is a Senior Lecturer in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

  Martin Abel is an assistant professor of economics

  Reed makes sense but wtf does economics have to do with it?

  Feels like news headlines are just competing for maximum cognitive dissonance. I guess that’s how you make a profit these days.

  There’s a large swathe of people who want comfort food entertainment—unchallenging and similar to what they’ve enjoyed watching/reading/listening to before—at least some of the time. It makes sense that LLMs would be good at filling that need, since they can pretty much only generate more of the same.

    Game of Thrones was the most popular series in the world, despite having multiple characters and parallel story arcs. People underestimate other people.

  Would be curious to read the LLM output.

  I find after reading a selection of LLM generated poetry/short fiction, you start notice signs of a generated text. It tends be a bit too polished, without any idiosyncrasies and with almost too much consistency in the delivery.

    “Polished” is a generous word for it. I think you might be mistaking generic plastic gloss for polish, though. AI writing is so formulaic, it’s like looking at a repeating texture in a video game. It writes lyrics like a five year old, too - very simple, entirely conventional, no creativity. Nothing new.

      A polished turd is still polished!

      I find that LLMs also tend to create very placative, kitschy content. Nuance is beyond them.

      Well… my bad-hearted woman loved a smooth-talking gambler, so I… ran him over with my train. Lord! Lord! Yes I… ran him over with my train.

  AI-generated stories are stories written by humans, but watered-down and plagiarized. AI would not be able to write stories without stealing training from human-made stories.

    Human stories are also plagiarized

      Some human stories are plagiarized.

      Most human stories are similar to other stories without being plagiarized.
