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...
