CAN AI WRITE BETTER?
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
A founder decided to measure what makes great writing tick, literally. By mapping the rhythm and “surprise spikes” in authors like Hemingway and Wodehouse, he found each has a quantifiable fingerprint: where sentences get weird, sharp, or musical. He trained a small model to detect those pulses, and it worked. Maybe the next step in AI isn't more scale, but learning how to imitate the texture of human thought.
