> Please read past the LLM-ness of any given post.

I just can't. LLM assisted posts are often so long, and the hints are usually obvious right at the start.

They're so unpleasant to read. "It's not X, it's Y" etc are bad because the comparisons rarely add anything at all to the message. It's filler that wastes my time. At that point I'd rather see your original prompt.

Why should I invest several minutes of my day reading something if I've already seen evidence that the author doesn't respect my time?

It's not that an LLM wrote it so much as the author couldn't be bothered to clean it up and remove the garbage cliches before publishing it.
