Please, have some mercy, English is not my first language! Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.

People are paranoid that everything they read was written by a LLM. It's likely that they are even more suspicious because you used one to code.

You should be proud of both the work you did and the article :-).

I honestly just don't get it. I feel people just whine for the sake of complaining about it, to get a feeling of some kind of moral superiority, or something. It's as if they're reading some GRR Martin kind of novel and the dragon slaying portrayal isn't up to their liking. It's not a fucking prose, learn how to extract useful information from a text, you're goddamn programmers, you've been mentally deciphering literal code, probably for a long fucking time, just fucking scan the text with your eyes and comprehend the meaning with your brain. If you don't like the style, just ask the LLM to summarize it for you, dang it. It's like if someone said: "your text appears to be typed in Emacs, sorry, but I won't read it. Try using a less controversial editor next time. Good effort though." Oh fuck you! Don't read it, who cares? Why come complaining about it? I feel like smacking them on the forehead, saying: "good job, you got me, I used AI, now what? Call the police, shoot me, cancel me, send complaints, clog my toilet..." Enormously annoying. More annoying that actually reading text written with AI assistance.

hey, honestly I personally wouldnt mind "unusual" english or some weird sentences. Obviously using AI to proofread and give suggestions is great use of it and I dont see a problem in that. Not a native speaker either so I can definitely relate :) I hope I didnt come off as too harsh, its just due to me seeing a lot of half-baked blog spam on r/emacs Ive gotten a bit sensitive when noticing AI writing.

Ignore the detractors, I, for one, enjoyed reading it
