Reminds me of something published about Facebook's algorithm a few years ago, creepily labeled "optimal degree of novelty." Their research showed that the stickiest, most attractive content was something BOTH familiar AND unfamiliar. Seems that our brains want a hit of "i recognize that" with a chaser of "how weird!"
Thanks - this is something I have been looking into recently. A colleague is compiling the hard data for a client. Hopefully we can share the whitepaper soon.

That does sound familiar ... and weird.
The irony indeed. I guess we will see this more often in places where we use AI to write something and want AI to interpret and summarize
Great article, thanks for writing it!
