From action to static description–How AI changed Jørn Lier Horst's writing style

A researcher analyses Jørn Lier Horst's AI-assisted novel "Den siste saken" (The Last Case), finding that sections flagged as AI-generated contain more nouns and adjectives and fewer pronouns and verbs than his pre-ChatGPT novels, along with AI-typical clichés like humming, quiet, heavy air and sliding gazes. The analysis contrasts the novel's static setting descriptions with the action-embedded descriptions of earlier books such as "Katharina-koden" (2017) and "Nattmannen" (2009), and questions Horst's claim that using ChatGPT for research and editing is no different from consulting books or locals.
