Got it. For transparency, all of my writing is my own but I do use LLM editing to improve the clarity of it and read every output carefully (and fully) before publishing.

On my own it often takes me 5-10 minutes just to figure out how to phrase something simple clearly. Like for example I don't how how to say that the amount of my own words I put into the LLM exceed (sometimes double or triple) the output that I end up posting online.

That's part of writing, and it gets faster and easier the more you do it.

it's not your own if you pass it onto an LLM

then it's just LLM writings prompted by you

how do I know which part is made up by the LLM or it's own interpretation or it's own opinion etc?

how can there be any value if I have to scrutinize every single word and decide whether it's truly what you intended to write or if it's mangling things, or if it's all just made up for engagement?

You need more practice doing it (with your brain, not the model).
