Why should it be effortless?

> Why should I waste my time writing some inferior copy by hand?

Have some faith in yourself :) If the LLM writing was superior then surely nobody would’ve noticed?

And to the question: because lack of care in one area implies that that the same approach might extend to other areas. Nobody’s forcing you, but it definitely sends a particular message.

> Humans produce code which is fairly ‘locally optimal’

I’m taking this to mean you find the phrasing vague. LLMs are good at avoiding the sort of fine-grained security bugs that you see in some human written code.

> Also, interesting you use ‘ as a quote rather than '. I notice these quotes are used with LLM generated text, as I can't find this on my keyboard.

Funny, but FYI a fair few mobile keyboards use non-ascii punctuation
