Humans invented writing, not LLMs. They are copying us not the other way around. You can’t jump on 1 sentence that vaguely sounds like an LLM and say it’s written by AI. It’s so silly. I understand the aversion to AI slop but this is not that.

people run on heuristics and no amount of our righteousness will change that. the entire article absolutely reeks of LLM style so the original commentor isnt off the mark. to address your point, LLMs are copying that which leads to the most human engagement, so the way you expressed things makes it seem like you are defending junk food as real food. which of course it is, however it is designed to make someone money at the cost of human health. that's not something i'd be defending personally.

  • I don't think the article "reeks of LLM style" at all. It's actually very obviously written by a human in my eyes, there are several phrases that LLMs would not write. I see this accusation leveled at basically any piece of writing that is long and not very casual now, it just doesn't make any sense.
