Great topic and message. But the AI-generated writing really gets under my skin. It's not painful. Not unclear. Just really annoying.

I can't help but wonder if we've already hit the point where real people now write like that because it's what they're exposed to day in and day out.

I have zero evidence to back this up but I'm convinced that autocorrect is what led to people pluralizing word's with apostrophe's. If we keep outsourcing how we express our ideas, how long until we no longer have any left?

Its not just a movement, it's a message.

A great little expression I heard somewhere was 'AI;DR'. I find it grating to get through a text once I've lost the trust that the author wrote it themselves. When that trust is gone, how could I be sure that these are your ideas or just something an LLM said that you happen to agree with?

even the plain text version’s subheading gets under my skin for some reason

This is real. You are not imagining it.

Oh sorry. I cribbed that from the article itself.
