There is a big difference between "asking an editor for suggestions" and "vibe posting".

You don't lose your voice if you ask for advice and manually incorporate the suggestions you agree with.

You might lose your voice if you say "Improve my comment to make it better" and copy-paste the result without another thought.

It hides your voice, and shortcuts your thinking process, because your editing is when you actually evaluate what you think!

When using LLMs to write, the temptation to avoid actually thinking about what you're communicating is too much for most people.

In the words of the comment: the rough edges are what make you.. you!

Keep polishing and everything eventually turns into a smooth shiny ball. We need texture, roughness, edges.

An LLM telling me I mispeled a word isn't changing my voice. Especially when I know the proper spelling and simply have a typo.

An LLM telling me I omitted a qualifier and that my statement isn't saying what I meant it to say isn't changing my voice - it's ensuring what you see is my voice.

Yep. I actually prefer seeing imperfect writing, there is signal there that AI would erase.

Maybe. But it can also help people find their voice. And I'd rather have comments from someone knowledgeable but unrefined with some good guidance than their silence on that same topic.

AI doesn't just hide your voice -- it improves it!

I had a README with a curse word in it and the agent would try repeatedly to remove it in drive by edits bundle in with some other change.
