I don't get it. They are saying the announcement means more to them than just a headline that most will scroll past. Maybe you are seeing something I'm not.

Op is saying it sounds like it was written like an LLM

  ok... it's an AI company, It'd be odd if it weren't written by AI, no?

    It is odd that they didn’t care or have the wherewithal to make it not sound obviously like an LLM wrote it.

      Still getting paid either way.

      Eh if anyone is all in on AI and it replacing human writing it would be an AI company But then that means if you're a PR or communications person working at this startup (or at Meta?) your job is not secure and that your days there are probably numbered, which I'm sure is great for morale...

    Would that be odd? AI companies are still staffed by people, and large announcements like acquihires certainly feel like they could use a slightly more human touch if they truly mean a lot to the company.

    I'm all for dogfooding but if you work for a bicycle company it shouldn't mean you can't drive to work. The right tool for the right job.

  I don't get it either. Since LLMs emulate human writing, what is it about that sentence that gives away that it was written by an LLM rather than human? Haven't we seen plenty of hollow-sounding self-aggrandizing marketing copies like this one pre-LLMs? What is it that is wrong with this sentence? Please don't say it's an em-dash...

    Give this a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing#Negative_parallelisms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing#... I linked "Negative Parallelisms" because it's relevant here, but the article in general covers a lot of AI writing styles

    It’s a sentence structure that LLMs over-use: “this isn’t just X, it’s Y”.

    It sounds like corporate meaningless drivel. Everyone is dogging on it because it's no different than when startups of yore would say "making the world a better place." As if the meaningless platitude was some incantation you had to whisper or the funding wouldn't close.

    it's always the em-dash
