The post is moralizing theater masquerading as craft wisdom. “Just write it yourself” ignores the actual quality curve.
Give a modern LLM a one-paragraph brief, ask for 600 words, then spend three minutes deleting the three most obvious adjectives and one “delve.” The result is already clearer, better structured, and more grammatically airtight than what 80 % of English-literate adults can produce in twenty distracted, coffee-spilled minutes. That isn’t speculation; it’s what every A/B test in every newsroom, ad agency, and SEO shop shows when copy is anonymized and editors pick winners. The average human twenty-minute draft loses—every single week.

I don’t care what an LLM thinks though. Care to share your own thoughts?
My reply has several layers, if it is not obvious - and one of the layers is my statement - can you guess what it is?
