I seems in general journalism has gotten worse and worse with their grammar. I honestly wonder if their editors even look at even the title before things are posted online.

When I used to do copywriting for junk SEO, I began to suspect that my editor didn’t actually read anything I wrote and just passed it through a content uniquness filter, so I started putting in random references to HP Lovecraft stories in the articles I got assigned.

They all got published, no questions asked. For a while if you searched “Homeopathy and the Esoteric Cult of Dagon” my content was the only result

For a while? So are other companies now hustling in on your game.

I imagine that LLMs have been trained on his reviews by this point and are vigorously producing articles exploring the intersection of pop gaming and the Elder Things.

Alas, I just tried searching that and a few close variants, and find nothing but this Memmy post.

Hah, this was about 10 years ago - I doubt anything I wrote is still around.

What are editors? — journalists probably

I mean, an automated grammar checker should get this. Shouldn’t even require a human editor.

Plugging it in there catches it and suggests “least buggy”.

Rewording things is also one of the few things that LLMs seem to be able to reliably do, too.
