The Videogamer thing is a good illustration of why AI specifically fails at criticism. Next-token prediction and RLHF optimize for typicality, so you end up with text that reads like an average of all reviews ever written. You can't get sharp, weird, idiosyncratic takes out of that process. I wrote about that convergence-to-the-mean problem here: https://philippdubach.com/posts/the-impossible-backhand/But I think the harder part is that enforcement depends on detection, and detection will always lag generation..
