Commenting on a new paper by Sanae Lotfi, Nick Lourie, Kyunghyun Cho and Karen Ullrich, Lucas Beyer notes the writing has an 'eerie' quality: some paragraphs read perfectly fine while others sound distinctly LLM-slop-ish, making for a strange human-machine hybrid. He recommends the full paper for its interesting experiments, figures and discussions.
