I see that the AI take threads seem to have dwindled. Perhaps Laurel and co have given up hunting for them. I'd pretty much decided that it was impossible to distinguish not-very-good, but technically correct, human writing from AI. But now I think I might have bumped into it in the real world. What do you think?
The first example
A short while ago I bumped into at least 3, maybe a half dozen instances of misusing lay or lie and their various tenses. It really stood out because the author was a very popular one and someone must have paid a copy editor. A bad one. But what if it was AI built on a LLM that contained tons of similar misuses? Then, either it didn't catch what might be the real author's habitual mistake, or, worse, it "fixed" the uses.
The second example
(Note - I don't know the details of the contract resulting from the writers' strike, but maybe it hadn't kicked in by the time this was created????)
This may be hard to explain to people who have never watched the Prime series Mr & Mrs Smith. Like the movie of some years ago, it's the adventures of two people hired by a CIA-ish secret organization and given cover names of Mr & Mrs Smith. It's very light on thrills and heavy on comedy. The first three episodes had complex enough plots to hold my attention. The pacing was reasonable. While it wasn't believable, it wasn't blatantly ridiculous.
Episode 4 was so bizarrely stupid that I'm wondering if it was written by AI. There's been a lot of talk here about how one can recognize AI writing. Here are some candidates from episode 4.
1 - On the basis of a shared (common!) name two people meeting by chance in a park immediately start sharing top secret details of their lives, including giving the new acquaintances a tour of their safe room.
2 - The first 25 minutes of an hour show are taken up with "witty" banter among 4 people. This had been a funny action show up until this episode.
3 - The MCs take off with their new acquaintances on a "very, very high risk" assignment on a lark. They don't even know what it's about.
4 - They fly from NYC to South America in a helicopter.
If it weren't for the charming acting I would have given up on the episode in about 10 minutes.
But my question is serious. Is this an example of what might happen if producers turn to AI for their scripts?
