There's a certain hypocrisy in sharing an article about how LLM generated PRs are polluting communities that has itself (at the least) been filtered through an LLM.

It doesn't read particularly like raw LLM output to me, and Pangram agrees with me: https://www.pangram.com/history/8711e385-96a0-4366-9427-f87f...

What does 'filtered through an LLM' mean?

		Author writes something original, asks the AI to make it sound better, then posts the output of the AI.

I am not sure what your complaint is. The article is well written and has some interesting points:

> the reality is that maintainer capacity versus contribution volume is deeply asymmetric, and it's getting worse every day

> It is incredibly demotivating to provide someone with thorough, thoughtful feedback only to realize you've been talking to a bot that will never follow through.

It's the exact same complaint as in the article:

> I started noticing patterns. The quality wasn't there. The descriptions had a templated, mechanical feel. And something subtler was missing: the excitement.

The article has mechanically correct prose; that's not the same as well-written, and that's the topic of the article itself.

Conflicted as to whether I should be more offended at the accusation of using AI to 'filter' my article or because my writing reads as 'templated and mechanical'

There is enough here to have a micro existential crisis.

		https://xkcd.com/3126/ People's bot detectors are defective, so if you write at all, you're going to get accused of it at some point. It's not annoying, it's rude – and you're absolutely right to be off put by it. If the preceding sentence gave someone a conniption, good! I wrote it with my human brain, I'll have you know! Maybe we could all focus on what's being said and not who or what is saying it.

There is no requirement that an article's writing style aligns with the article's topic. Substance over style and all that.
