> Don't let the AI lobby insist on anything that's touched an LLM getting labelled, because if it gets slapped on anything that's even passed through a spell-checker or saved in Notepad

People have been writing articles without the help of an LLM for decades.

You don't need an LLM for grammar and spell checking, arguably an LLM is less efficient and currently worse at it anyway.

The biggest help a LLM can provide is with research but that is only because search engines have been artificially enshitified these day. But even here the usefulness is very limited because of hallucinations. So you might be better off without.

There is no proof that LLMs can significantly improve the workflow of a professional journalist when it comes to creating high quality content.

So no, don't believe the hype. There will still be enough journalists not using LLMs at all.
