I'm actually confused by how people even use LLMs to write these articles. They sound so synthetic that I assume the LLM wrote most or all of the text, but how?

Do they just write a bullet list of notes and then tell the LLM to go wild?

Yes, exactly. Or a few sentences “Write a post that tells people about…”

Their bulleted notes would’ve been a good post, most likely.

		Yeah, this is what I find confusing. If you have a succinct list of bullet points, just give me that. Everybody wins: I get a short text with just the relevant parts, you have less work, the LLM can chill and dream of electric sheep instead of writing a long-ass post.

Pretty sure that is what most of them do.
