    If you've talked to ChatGPT enough this is instantly recognizable as AI writing. It's this kind of romantic hacker poetic ad copy thing. The short little punchy sentences. The sentence fragments. The repetition. This new age Instagram drama: flash talk for goddesses and sunsets.

    I guess it works! But it's gross. lol.

      I was going to say it didn't seem like AI to me, but sure enough pangram flagged it as AI. I guess I got used to all the claude-isms that I was only looking for that and not anything else.
