How do you feel when you learn someone has been using AI heavily to help them write? Setting aside English as a second language.

My knee-jerk is to find it disappointing. But maybe I’m missing some nuance. And I don’t have the same negative reaction to AI coding.

But if you’re going to ask me to read a blog article, I don’t quite enjoy it when it’s not in your own words. I want to be in conversation with you, not you intermediated through an LLM.

While I don’t particularly care about a bit of LLM spellchecking or copy editing. I’d rather have human language warts and all than perfect AI-speak.

That’s the rant. But what am I missing?
