I sometimes use LLMs to help me with brevity or clarity. But the input is my own words and the output is almost always edited so that I sound like me because sometimes, while the output is serviceable, it’s just… bad and uninspired.

I already think that it’s insulting when people accomplish/do/implement/… something and want to informs the others and do that by generating a 1-2 pages long wall of text via LLM that is then copy-pasted into an email…
Like… Can’t you just write down the 5 or 10 most important points? Are we not worth the time to do so? Do we have to find the most relevant information ourselves in that text???

You should learn how to write better instead of relying on slop.

Who I rely on it? I accept suggestions when the good truth, even if the source of the suggestions is a slop generator. I accept what it is right about and reject what I don’t. And why not? It costs nothing.
And, at 52, I write the way I write. I enjoy the process, I enjoy playing with language. I enjoy the juxtaposition of literary flourishes with a crude fuck you thrown in as punctuation and counterpoint to what might otherwise seem inaccessible or deliberately obtuse.
But do you know what I’ve found? I can be a little overly self-indulgent. For example, you didn’t want all this, you just wanted to throw your glib little “lrn2write” and garner a few upvotes from the vehement AI haters and give yourself a self-righteous pat on the back.
Sometimes I need another perspective to suggest restraint. As you can see, this, like 98% of my writing, is mine alone, else I’d’ve taken what would undoubtedly be good advice and held back on the more acerbic bits, and made sure I wasn’t posting some knee-jerk defensive self-indulgent 100% man-made slop.
But here we are.

It costs nothing.
Except for an opportunity to practice getting better at the thing you recognize is an issue.
And, at 52, I write the way I write.
Although I guess you’ve already given up on the getting better part.

How do you know if its a good suggestion if you don’t know what you’re doing? Think for yourself, stop trusting slop.
And, at 52, I write the way I write.
Apparently not. Now you write the way a slop generator tells you to write.
