> [they] couldn't possibly write good English?

Perhaps they could, but let's not make generalized assumptions. I don't know about you, but for me English is not a second, nor even a third language, and for people like me it is absolutely beautiful yet a supple and extremely nuanced tool for thought expression. I wouldn't risk unleashing the naked nature of my prose on anyone, it may not be easy on the eye - I liberally use all the tools I have in my text editor - spellchecking, thesauri, dictionaries and translation, etymology lookup and yes, LLMs as well. Would you complain that my texts overuse synonyms and that's just "annoying"?

You're honestly acting like some impetuous child demanding that the world revolve around them and their likes and dislikes. You're asking for a "human connection", while at the same time granting them zero empathy for their effort - however sloppy it was. The choice is yours - nobody's forcing you to read it. Shitting all over someone's (no matter how small) genuine work is disingenuous, not to mention that it is pointless zero sum - nobody gets any kind of satisfaction, none of the involved parties learn anything new.

For me, the article didn't "speak much" at all; I'm not defending its value. For someone it may feel different - I quickly went over it and that was all. I (like many of us) have been very inundated with LLM-generated texts, but frankly, people seem to eagerly label just about anything as AI-slop. It is getting more exhausting than simply dealing with text. Sorry, but we can't uninvent the damn thing back into the hellhole we found it in. Let's try to be nicer to each other in this brand new world.
