alt Hacker NewsI've seen a few people use ai to rewrite things, and the change from their writing style to a more "polished" generic LLM style feels very strange. A great averaging and evening out of future writing seems like a bad outcome to me.

Yeah, if anything it might make sense to do the opposite. Use LLMs to do research, ruthlessly verify everything, validate references and help you guide you in some structure, but then actually write your own words manually with your little fingers and using your brain.
I had to write a difficult paragraph that I talked through with copilot. I think it made one sentence I liked but found GPTZero caught it. I would up with 100% sentences I wrote but that I reviewed extensively with Copilot and two people.
I have an opinion of people that have opinions on AI
It's not them, it's you.
I sometimes go in the opposite direction - generate LLM output and then rewrite it in my own words
The LLM helps me gather/scaffold my thoughts, but then I express them in my own voice
