LLM-generated passphrases aren't easier-to-memorise

Target audience

"undoing expedited glider rally"

"Television shoot overflows fruit boatcapacity"

Which of these is easier to memorise? It's not obvious to me.

The first passphrase is from EFF large wordlist and has 51.7 bits of entropy. The second passphrase is from this paper that says it probably has more than 47 bits of entropy.

If you want 80 bits or 128 bits, just use a proportionally longer sentence or seedphrase. It's still not obvious to me which is easier to memorise.
