critique of writing style isn't made better by claiming it was authored by an LLM

No but it's a useful shorthand to describe a type of bad writing.

I also think that people should focus on substance and not if AI was used, but AI writes like shit and I find myself retching a bit when I have to read long AI-written documents. Do they say something useful? Maybe, but when my eyes are glazing over because it's just so exhausting trying to parse what's written, I can't tell.

I certainly think less of people when they have such poor taste that they think writing like that is acceptable.

This is just an AI comment masquerading as not trying to prove a point.

		I’m as pro AI as any. Slop is slop. When the “it works but isn’t great” phrases end up slipping into a strong conceptual core, it compromises the perception of the ideas. Perhaps our AI will cater to us by rewriting the content we read, and each of us intermediate all communication with systems that make that slop bearable. Or perhaps, we learn that we kinda still need to give a shit when writing to land on the perception we’re trying to create within our readers
