I agree that “vassal of horror” is an unusual turn of phrase but the amount of arguing about this post online just about that phrase alone is staggering. It almost makes wonder if the original note was written by a AI-bot since it’s the exact kind of unique phrase that -sounds good- but hasn’t come up organically yet in any other published work.
But that’s the opposite of what AI tends to do. It tries to predict words that fit a pattern. It wouldn’t come up with a new turn of phrase that sounds good because it isn’t creative. It has no idea about what “sounds good.” It would use a phrase it’s seen many times before, because that’s what it trained on. Often that ends up being incorrect, but it’s written like a normal human would write because it’s literally copying what they wrote. It isn’t creating new stuff.

Idk I feel like I’ve seen this image before the AI craze hit, but maybe I’m wrong.
Yeah, it seems to be at least a year old. Good old-fashioned stupidity is timeless.
College students learning new terms are predisposed to coming up with phrases that aren’t common and only partially make sense.
It’s probably a combination of autocorrect and the original author not knowing the word “vassal.”
