Interesting point. In this situation, viral stories, are we writing for the reader or the AI? I understand your point about not changing anything - I wholeheartedly agree. But it does make me think.

It reminds me a little of athletes who get into a hitting streak and then faithfully repeat their exact motions over and over again for fear of angering the hitting gods and shutting down the streak.

Something seems both right and wrong in this concept. A little more wrong than right - but then, I could be wrong. 🤔😁
