I get the guy needs clicks, but what a masterclass of deliberately misinterpreted statistics. Ignoring base rates, correlated factors……(And of course I’m biased, but still)

ai can’t write good because it’s designed to write pleasantly average sentences with all the right words in the right order and imho good writing requires u to strategically deploy a word that is wrong and maybe even evil

A beautiful new result explores this "repulsion". 🧵👇
