I can no longer tell whether terribly written articles are written by terrible writers, terrible AI, or terrible writers using terrible AI.

[–] withabeard@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

AI's current writing style on topics like this, is to repeat the same thing in subtly different ways. If you find yourself reading the same paragraph 3 times in a row, then it's probably AI.

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Redundancy is one tell, for sure. But another sign of AI slop is writing like this:

"While STALKER 2 can be a compelling experience even with inconsistent performance and a multitude of bugs, the continued presence of these problems could hinder the game's chances at success."

It reads like a middle school essay. Words for the sake of words, that don't really mean or convey anything. Baby's first thesaurus.

I wouldn't put it past a writer to do exactly this, pre AI it was common too.

It's screenrant, all of the above apply.

Otherwise I'll follow Ralph's and ACG's advice and will wait for a sale for this. It may be ok in 1y.

Waiting makes sense- as beloved as the first one is, didn’t that one take a while to get stable?

Jap, I've been a fan since the beginning. I even played survarium. I have all of the games on steam and physical (minus this one) so I'm a die-hard GSC fan. I was quite pissed when they took that MS exclusivity deal because I saw this happening a mile away. I knew they were going to be forced to release a substandard version to slot in MS's calendar rather than when they felt it was ready. I'm happy to buy it down the line when it is more of a complete work and physical editions hopefully enclose a stable self contained game rather than needing an extra 140GB download to play the game I already paid for.
