It was written by a human. There are AI edits but it’s very much a human composition. Perhaps a bit sloppy.

In my experience, people who do 'AI-assisted' writing tend to be very bad at noticing how much of their work AI has changed. I'm sure you put thought into it, but passing it through AI takes a lot of that out.

I think that’s fair, I didn’t actually run the whole thing through an AI. it was more targeted edits, but each time it does erode at my writing. But at the same time, I don’t think it’s a good reason to dismiss this. Because I did spend several hours writing it, and I did put a lot of thought into it, and it was not in any meaningful way generated by AI.

		Mostly I disagree with the article's ideas, if that helps; the AI was just a secondary factor. > I don’t think it’s a good reason to dismiss this AI-generated prose reads as sending a 'lack of effort' signal to a lot of people, just as no editing at all does. ; It's an effective heuristic that we've all learnt in the last couple of years. In either case, it's not always fair: there are people who deeply care about their ideas but forget to fix basic errors, or pass it through AI. In both cases though, the advice is the same: if you want people to take your output seriously, you need to signal that you are taking it seriously. That used to mean editing for spelling and grammar. Now it means not using AI.

		Out of curiousity, do you ask your editing system for diffs? Seems to me like the best way to notice and review whether your "voice" is degrading. Personally I would never let an LLM touch my prose (although I'd happily use it for research and paraphrase things it told me), but if I force myself to consider the idea, that seems like the first thing I'd want. Maybe upon reading a diff you'd even consider going a third way with the text.
