Marvelous examination of how to spot 2026-era AI writing, via the Economist
- AI likes long sentences with less punctuation; “and” is its most overused word
- relatedly, lists of three things, which drives up use of "and" as well
- polysyllabic adjectives: “significant”, “increasingly”
- scientific jargon ("rate-limiting," “parameter”)
- nominalizations (making nouns from verbs: eg, “expansion” from “expand”)
- ofc, everyone's favorite: "it's not X, it's Y"
@jayparsons@TheStalwart Can’t tell if Joe is joking…but renters naturally do care about all those characteristics, and that plays out in market pricing for rents just as much as it does for market pricing in homeownership.
Note that the renter flexibility to move is a feature, not a bug.
