Begging on my hands and knees to see one last paragraph written by a human and not a syntactically valid but otherwise dead-sounding lexical mélange. Even if it’s for stupid bullshit like this. Just because most of these words are relevant to aviation it doesn’t mean they create a convincing blurb. Half of these words do nothing to make me think positively about the thing they’re breathlessly advertising.
I know no part of my complaint is novel. I know this is about the easy dunk on the flight school named after history’s oldest failed “pilot”. But this is so blatant. Multiple people have signed off on making this very critical training sound as low effort as possible.
With a passion for aviation, you’ll take on the responsibility of ensuring passenger safety, enjoy professional growth, and have access to travel benefits
is this supposed to be a sentence in English?
is this talking about things you need to be able to do the job, or job responsibilities, or job benefits?
“As an office enjoyer, you will need to bear the weight of cubicle life, go to meetings, and have access to a paycheck”
If the corporate world’s shockingly uncritical adoption of LLM-generated text isn’t the most damning example of how capitalism is its own most scathing self-parody I don’t know what is.
These sentences don’t convey meaning. Even good advertising (as in it’s good at being advertising) transports an idea from a sender to a recipient. What is this? What the fuck is this?
At least your cubicleslop is funny. Compare that to
you’ll take on the responsibility of ensuring passenger safety
Would a writer, even an atrocious one, imply that the person looking at the details of a flight school needs to be informed that the job of a pilot is in fact not to crash the plane?
There’s no point in being upset at senseless machine output. But the continuous abdication of common sense by people accepting it blindly is absolutely maddening.
I was looking around at job postings and I noticed a credible ad for position that was some sort of upper-level administrator of a big library that was unquestionably written by an LLM with contrastive framing twice a sentence and all that shit. It was amazing.
(Not my field, I just like looking at postings now and then because there’s some really funny stuff, like gameshow hosts and private detectives)
