@onekind@beige.party Except that llms aren't making writing accessible to all. They take what you wrote in the first place, bleach its meaning, eliminate your voice and leave you with a bland, mostly meaningless, and bloated string of words that nobody wants to read. They are a way of keeping people from learning to express themselves. Why do you think style and a certain register are signifiers of class? They signal you had the time to hone those skills. @zoy@merveilles.town

@onekind@beige.party @zoy@merveilles.town I'd really recommend you read the Sightless Scribbles piece that's been linked a couple of times in the thread. It lays out the issues a lot better than I ever could.

@onekind@beige.party @zoy@merveilles.town writing was already accessible to all if you don’t apply unreasonable and unnecessary standards. LLMs are not accessible to all. They incur dependency on one of a handful of massive mostly-US corporations. And prices are almost certainly going to start increasing because current prices are artificially low and insufficient to cover operating costs (presumably in order to inflate adoption rates). LLMs aren’t a socialist solution in the slightest.

@onekind@beige.party @zoy@merveilles.town it's not polishing, it's homogenising.

@onekind@beige.party @zoy@merveilles.town the best way for unconfident writers to write is for them to write. the magic 8-ball of doom is not going to help anyone become more confident. it will make them reliant on the magic 8-ball of doom.
