As a reader, I appreciate reading writing that lacks large amounts of spelling mistakes. Everyone agreeing on spelling seems like a useful monoculture, like driving on the same side of the road.
But I don't feel the same way about AI writing. It feels totally different in a way that good spelling does not.
Even if I liked the style, I would object strongly to that style quickly becoming a monoculture.
We're on a path to a style optimized for shallow attention maximization becoming the majority of text we read.
