Opinion — commentary, not a factual news event.
Teleport sponsored a post featuring a TikTok quote arguing that writing scripts with AI often sounds empty or unopinionated. The post points to 13 engineers who “pressure washed” a codebase with LLMs over 90 days, emphasizing quality over quantity for finding security vulnerabilities. This shifts attention from obvious AI writing tells to how style and substance (or the lack of them) affect perceived authorship and confidence.
Why it matters
Hey, you know it's like super obvious if you're using AI to write your scripts for TikTok and YouTube, right? [...] It's not just the general AI-isms of "it's not X, it's Y", or the rule of three, or the really weird broken staccato-like way of writing where you just say a lot of things with all these punctuation marks. and it sounds really deep, but it's not. It's the lack of anything. It's the lack of a definitive sort of spear of your voice. It's the fact I can tell you don't have opinions about the thing that you're talking about. — @therealcornpop, on TikTok Tags: tiktok, ai, ai-misuse
