The reason why people use AI to manifest their ideas is probably because they have no other way communicate otherwise.

What?! This is nonsense. You’re really making the argument that most people getting LLMs to write for them just couldn’t communicate in any way five years ago?

The five-years-ago internet was certainly full of incoherently expressed ideas (and still is now). For some people AI is just spellcheck on the sentence/paragraph level.

As a reader, I appreciate reading writing that lacks large amounts of spelling mistakes. Everyone agreeing on spelling seems like a useful monoculture, like driving on the same side of the road.

But I don't feel the same way about AI writing. It feels totally different in a way that good spelling does not.

Even if I liked the style, I would object strongly to that style quickly becoming a monoculture.

We're on a path to a style optimized for shallow attention maximization becoming the majority of text we read.
