@zoy@merveilles.town Even my formally educated affluent ass finds LLM output repulsive. There is really something so grotesque about the output of a machine that doesn't have the slightest personal affectation. I am proud of my rough edges, because I'm a person. I can write "perfectly" and I have great diction. But a robot can't wax poetic or get upset the way I can. Whether someone uses polished or vulgar language, I submit I can still tell the difference between whether they used a language model to glaze me or they came to me as a person with real desires. I do all that polite crap in my emails, and yet, no machine could predict what I'm going to say because I will never say what would be considered the most lubricious or incontrovertible thing. While I do think that learning to write well is a good thing and that education should be more universal and patient than it is, I completely agree that if we're looking for merit in a post or a submission, that it's never in how much you sound like an automatic sycophant.
