Researchers benchmark AI writing against classic English writing rules

According to a post on X by @zhizdev, a new benchmark finds that AI writing breaks established English writing principles far more often than human writing, obscuring main ideas and inventing awkward phrases. The authors say Claude Code replies were by far the worst offenders. The post frames the benchmark as a measurable way to test whether model writing is clearer, not just more fluent. The snippet does not give the number of tests, the models compared beyond Claude Code, or the exact scoring method.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

A new benchmark finds AI writing breaks established English writing principles far more often than human writing, obscuring main ideas and inventing awkward phrases. The authors say Claude Code replies were by far the worst offenders. Why it matters: It gives a measurable target for making model writing clearer,...

Developers building coding assistants and teams that rely on AI-written documentation or explanations may want a clearer way to judge output quality beyond how fluent it sounds. Watch for the full benchmark report, its methodology, and whether other model makers publish comparable clarity scores.
