Obviously the more technical the topic, the fewer 'degrees of freedom' the AI has to produce something. In scientific publications, you can usually barely see any evidence of the writers voice because it is so sterile and formal. I wonder if that is what drives AI to be particularly repetitive in the sciences.

Again, I haven't seen much of that with my students, but I prefer to use notebooks which are hard to fill with AI.
