I wish we'd stop getting replies like this to articles. It's just as tiring as LLM written articles.

People seem to forget that LLMs copied human writing. They also tended to copy people with more proper or formally trained writing styles. There are so many journalists and writers that talk about how they've had to 'stupify' how they write so they don't get accused of being an LLM.

It's like we're running idiocracy on fast forward.

Choosing how you write is a part of writing.

It's not even as tiring as reading one unedited LLM article.

Why? Why should we give up being critical of things we read?

I wish we got more such replies like that to articles. This is a confusing times, and social interaction helps in several ways.

This is literally not true, but more importantly the conclusion you trying to use it for is blatantly false.

If it'd be any consolation, I for one find it interesting, even if you don't. I like to keep my AI writing detector honed, and others' opinions help. Even if I clicked figuring I wouldn't necessarily find the article all that interesting, I might end up reading it anyway just to see what I think of the writing style.
