You preferred human writing. You're either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser. Maybe vou also noticed that human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian," caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: "As well ask men what they think of stone." A.I. used to make mistakes like these. But today's systems are much more fluid than their predecessors - so fluid, in fact, that finding grammatical errors or nonstandard syntax is often a hint that you're looking at a human's prose, not a machine's.
The idea that Cormac McCarthy's writing style is a *mistake* nearly made me experience an aneurysm.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.

Calling Cormac McCarthy’s authorial style a “mistake” that AI no longer makes is so funny
I took Medieval Literature, Chaucer, and Shakespeare in undergrad on purpose but the first old book to pop into my head was Iceberg Slim's Pimp: The Story of My Life.

My kid plows through Oreos (mostly eats just the cream) and it's time for a re-up. Figure I'll get gas while I'm over there and I'll probably go into a Dutch fugue and spend a grand, but Oreos are the main thing.
