alt Hacker NewsI think a more generous interpretation of dang's comment is that it's fine to use LLMs / tools to fix grammatical errors / spellchecking, but a heavier pass where the prose, wording and tone is altered (even mildly) can create a 'slop ambience' over time, death by a thousand paper cuts.

Slop ambience just sure sounds to me like HN is banning a prose style. I guess I just think that if this is how the rule will be enforced, that is how it should be written.

There's a gradient here for sure, but it's getting clear that people using LLMs "only" for grammar and spelling fixes are underestimating how much else the LLMs are doing.
