    Completely missing the reason people balk at a whiff of LLM writing. It automatically is less trusted if it is noticeably LLM written

    Instead of pointing to a wrong number, a missing test, a wrong claim, or saying thank you, somebody just writes “sounds AI-generated”.

    And it is rude to expect people to proofread your slop.

      And it is rude to expect people to proofread your slop.

      The author isn’t defending slop, in fact they hate it too:

      I utterly hate AI-generated content. I don’t want machines to replace personal writing with synthetic filler.

      What they are arguing for is AI assisted proof reading tools, particularly if English isn’t your native tongue:

      But a spell checker doesn’t make a post fake. Grammarly didn’t make old posts fake. A machine helping a non-native speaker write more readable English doesn’t make the work fake.

        I don’t believe them. If they are getting accused of ai generated so often they feel the need to write a blog about it they are more likely than not peddling slop and upset no one will take their slop seriously.
