The implication is that LLM critics don't use LLMs at all, or that the author is not an LLM critic, but both of those things are incorrect. We are very good at inventing entire people out of single opinions we read, and the AI arguments are maybe the best example of that I've ever seen in my many years watching internet arguments (not least due to the expansiveness of AI, and the sheer breadth of pros and cons it holds within).

Can you clarify what this is supposed to mean?

Someone says they like hip hop, and you imagine a young urban male with a baseball cap on backwards, how they view women, that they probably don't like musicals, something like that (not saying you do, but as an example). More than simply the thing they said. You say "I like or do that thing", and instantly get hit with "oh, people like you always complain about X but isn't it weird you never mention Y".

At least that's what I thought of when I read that; because answering in place of other people is another thing I find annoying. So I'm speaking for myself, but with some optimism I may have guessed the intent of OP correctly :)
