Ethan Mollick @emollick · 13h Its fitting that one of the tells of AI writing is over-assigning agency and action to inanimate objects: "the code knows it now," "the plan remembers," etc.
Ethan Mollick tweet observing that over-assigning agency to inanimate objects ('the code knows it now', 'the plan remembers') is a tell of AI-generated writing.

Sam Paech [verified] @sam_paech · 13h New models tested on creative writing: GPT-6-Astra Fable 5.1 Muse Spark 1.3 Gemini 3.8 flash Subjectively, I strongly prefer Muse Spark 1.3 to both GPT-6 and Fable. It just gives you what you asked for, without an obnoxious house style permeating every request. Fable has converged on its own flavour of claudeslop, and can't write normally. Meanwhile, GPT-6-Astra has forgotten how to write in paragraphs. It's a sad state of affairs! Tentatively suggest we reinstate the old tradition of reading rollouts with our actual eyeballs.

Dark-mode tweet screenshot: Sam Paech on creative-writing tests of GPT-6-Astra, Fable 5.1, Muse Spark 1.3 and Gemini 3.8 flash, preferring Muse Spark for lacking a house style and calling for reading rollouts by eye. Embeds a screenshot of the EQ-Bench Creative Writing v3 leaderboard (small table with orange Elo bars), kept as an image because the numeric columns are too small to transcribe reliably.

Rohan Pandey @khoomeik
— quoting @willdepue (will depue), with quoted reply from @pika_labs (Pika)
A tweet juxtaposing a warning from OpenAI's will depue against building "AI slop machines"/"P-zombie AI girlfriend" apps with Pika Labs immediately announcing exactly such a product (AI-only social video app). Cultural commentary on AI-generated content and social media attention economy Nathan was reading; tangential to but not central to his safety/welfare research threads — more about AI product ethics/culture.
Sam Paech @sam_paech
Sam Paech (creator of the EQ-Bench/creative writing "slop" benchmarks) shares a phylogenetic-style clustering of LLMs by their "slop profile" (characteristic writing tics/style), showing Mistral Small 3.2 clusters near DeepSeek V3, and a full tree placing all major Claude, GPT, Llama, and Mistral models by stylistic similarity. Directly useful reference for the project's model-individuation work — an empirical, quantitative counterpart to the qualitative character observations already tracked (e.g. Opus 3 vs Opus 4 vs Sonnet).
