“The most surprising part? It all happened within weeks and lasted for months.”

That’s an AI tell. It may not be entirely LLM-generated, the various direct quotations help a lot, but there are touches that definitely feel like an LLM had a hand here.

That's not an "AI tell". If you read anything in recent decades, this is a turn of speech human writers wrote for ages and still write.

"It's not just x, it's y." Absolutely clear tell, especially at this frequency. Examples from the article below:

"Over decades, it doesn’t just wear down, it also starts to run hot." "... the therapy didn’t just clear brain fog, it physically improved the brain’s ability to process and store information."

The quotes as well: "'... Not just living longer, but living smarter and healthier,' Shetty said." "'We aren’t just trying to understand the biological mechanisms, we are translating and developing our findings into real-world therapies that could make a difference,' Shetty said."

What that is is a tell of bad writing

It's a tell of not writing. It is extremely well-documented as a tell of AI writing.

Anybody who still writes using their own mind has stopped using that pattern, along with others. "The thing nobody tells you:" is no longer used by decent writers.

Yeah, like nobody uses em dashes anymore right?

I know lots of writers who have (reluctantly) stopped using em-dashes. Many replaced them with colons, and are now wondering what they will replace colons with.

I know people who didn't:) Looks like we both know people.

I'm long on semi-colons

It’s a tell now. I see it I assume AI and disregard.

I guess all AI writing patterns are copied from human writing. The tell is that you get patterns like that more frequently than with human writing and in odd places.

It's funny if you look at the paper https://isevjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jev... how different it is from the article. They basically tried their spray on 18 month old mice and then dissected their brains at 20.5 months to check inflammation.

i can sense the lack of capacity for reasoning in your comment. it's okay. the paper and the article are written by two very different people. the article is written by someone in the communications team, who communicate "what's going on at the university" to the outside world . the paper is written by the actual scientists.

>tried their spray on 18 month old mice and then dissected their brains at 20.5 months

is not the same facts as

>It all happened within weeks and lasted for months

I suspect LLM hallucination rather than different people. Or maybe I missed the bit where they tested it lasting for months?

Interesting, I wish I read the paper but somehow didn't encounter links. This takes it from bad writing to terrible journalism to be honest. Can't defend it...

>>That’s an AI tell

do you have any other explanation other than tells? - maybe your tarot cards might have better explanation.

Vibes. It is in the vibes.

Just a heads up, you're firmly in Poe's Law territory.

Poe’s Law is the very essence of AI.
