And here I am, 2026, and one of my purposes for this year is to learn to write better, communicate more fluently, and convey my ideas in a more attractive way.

I do not think that these skills are so easily replaced; certainly the machine can do a lot, but if you acquire those skills yourself you shape your brain in a way that is definitely useful to you in many other aspects of life.

In my humble opinion we will be losing that from people, the upscaling of skills will be lost for sure, but the human upscaling is the real loss.

Yep, and reading you will feel less boring.

The uniform style of LLMs gets old fast and I wouldn't be surprised if it were a fundamental flaw due to how they work.

And it's not even sure speed gains from using LLMs make up for the skill loss in the long term.

Seriously. It wasn't always this way, but now as soon I notice the LLM-isms in a chunk of text, I can feel my brain shut off.

Scanning for LLM garbage is now one of the first things I do when reading a larger piece of text that has been published post ChatGPT.

It is such a challenge! As English is not my first language I have to do some mind gimnastics to really convey my thoughts. 'On writing well' is on my list to read, it is supposed to help.

It is a challenge!

I'll take imperfect ESL writing or imperfect writing in my native language over LLM soup any day.
