No. Engagement isn't free, and people need heuristics to figure out what's worth engaging with or not.
If people followed your advice, they'd waste their life conversing with dead-internet bots. And to what end? We're not machines mindlessly consuming and producing text. The our is often produced with a goal that's subverted if the consumer is a bot.
"What's the current discourse on LLM writing tells as of today? Create a Markdown checklist."
Squishy brain heuristics can't last long enough to matter in this environment. Personally, I created a Claude skill to run this query (with some refinements) and check it against an article I suspect of being lazy AI writing. If it's good AI-supported writing, I probably won't suspect it, and I won't care if it is.
The people trying to fool you with lazy writing run the same list on their outputs to have the LLM fix it.
