LLMs generate NYT-style text, but human writing shows more diversity

Researchers utilized Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate text in the style of The New York Times, then compared these outputs to human-written texts. Using the English Resource Grammar (ERG) for analysis, they found that human-written texts exhibited greater diversity and included less frequent constructions not present in the LLM-generated samples. The study also indicated that LLM-generated texts were more similar to each other than to individual human authors. AI

IMPACT Highlights differences in diversity and construction frequency between human and LLM-generated text, suggesting areas for LLM improvement.
