I've been wondering the same since the scandal that hit the French literary world a couple of months ago [0]. Until a journalist (anonymously) accused the author of having written his novel with AI, literary critics and fellow writers were fawning all over the book, and the book was set to grab most of this year's literary prizes.

Then people like you and me, who read AI prose all day long, went and read the book, and we all immediately knew the book was, at the very least, heavily AI-generated. For a few tragicomic months, people were in denial, going on TV to defend his book and defiantly proclaiming that "a machine could not have written this", only exposing their insulated ignorance.

Hence the question: do we dislike this style because we read it all day long? Was it originally pleasing (it probably arose out of RLHF), but then used excessively? All while famous French writers and critics had nothing but the highest praise for the book...

Note: after the author could not prove authorship, his editor officially declared that he had, indeed, used AI to write the book [0].
