Essay argues AI-generated writing strips away authorial style and precision

An author drawing on their bachelor's thesis on stylometric authorship detection argues that AI-written text 'averages style,' making it difficult to identify a distinct author or empathize with one. They contend AI text also loses precision because models must make assumptions to stitch sentences together, often choosing vaguer language, and because writers skip the self-challenging process that comes from manually drafting ideas. The result, they say, is text that is slower to read despite being the same length as human writing.
