In which a man disappearing up his own asshole somehow fails to be interesting.

    a few posters over there have even called it out as reading like it’s AI generated. it doesn’t entirely have the tone for it, but paully g plagiarizing an essay by having GPT generate it and editing it to sound slightly more like something he’d write almost makes sense — it’d explain why this thing is so fucking long but doesn’t seem to say a damn thing. the problem is, a lot of his pre-gpt writing is exactly like that too.

      It’s fascinating to see how the narrative (at least in tech circles) has gone in the last 6 months or so: from “I typed a prompt and got a college-level essay” to “no way this [rich][powerful][respected] VC could write anything so incoherent, he must have used an LLM”

        or alternately

        This sounds like how I would write when I was on adderall. I mean, what the hell is this statement?

        assholes like this are giving adderall a bad name

        Pretty sure if I asked ChatGPT about essay writing tips or what the best essay ever looked like, it would be more coherent than this rancid melange.

        No way PG has the attention span to write this much.
