Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 05/10/2026One thing that’s become apparent to me as AI generated text proliferates is how much we’re being influenced by short attention span/clickbait styles of writing becoming the norm—or even the new accepted & desirable standard. 54610
Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 05/10/2026More and more, everything sounds like some version of ad copy. And if it doesn’t, people are expected to scroll past. I don’t love what we’re being pushed to become accustomed to. 4343
Yves-Claude Arem @yves-claude-arem.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The tell I watch for is the last sentence. A paragraph that lands on something quotable was built to be screenshotted, and models learned that shape because screenshotted sentences are what got copied forward. The filter is what travels. Accuracy never entered it. 000
The Guy From Yesterday @akma.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The point of a headline used to be to let you know what the article was about; now it has to conceal what the article is about, to make sure you click through. 0287

Bryn on the Streets; Bryn in the Sheets, too 🏳️⚧️ @brynstone.bsky.social · 05/10/2026For me, it's still the list-style articles. BIG HEADING Intro Paragraph BIG DRAMATIC HEADING Paragraph List THE BOTTOM LINE Paragraph Every time. Even "academic" or professional writing (so, theoretically where long-form should be a norm) also follows this, but less blatantly. 000
