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
Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ironically a lot of this writing is hyper verbose and wayyy too long. Reminds me of those old stories you’d read sometimes where you could 100% tell that the writer had been paid by the word. Just words on words for the sake of more words. 4352
Feral T. Robot, Oil Swamp Utility Bot #7629 @feralrobots.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is reminding me of banner-blindness: the tendency to ignore things that look like ads. Maybe we'll start to ignore messaging that reads like ads. (The "cluetrain" folks from way back in the day certainly thought that was already true.) (I'm not actually optimistic about that prospect.) 000
