Why does AI in essays always read like it was written by a slightly pompous 11-year-old?

How the music industry works

1/2 “Accept that everything you say will be forgotten and ignored but write as if you and your words are immortal. Don’t just describe but justify — make sure the reader knows WHY the record exists whether the reasons are righteous or rascally...

2/2 ...And always remember you’re not here to give consumer advice or help with people’s filing. You’re here to set people’s heads on fire.”
Neil Kulkarni, Drowned In Sound, 2009

Neil Kulkarni was so, so good. His writing on social media in recent years really helped keep the black dog from my door. He’s so inspirational. And such a sweet, gentle, funny person.

And now he’s gone
