It's interesting you say this, and I wonder how far it gets. I like speaking at conferences and often submit proposals to their CFPs. I sometimes have the temptation to refine my abstracts using AI; not fully generate them, just touched them. But then they don't feel like me and I have a dilemma: shall I submit the 100% mine but perhaps sub-optimal text? or the AI-enhanced one? will the AI-edited one be too obvious and be rejected as AI slop?

However, this isn't an entirely new phenomenon. There is a company in Spain called Audens that manufactures croquettes. People prefer hand-made croquettes instead of industrially produced, and they usually can tell the difference by how perfectly regular industrial croquettes are, so Audens developed this method to produce irregular croquettes. Each individual croquette is slightly different, creating a homemade feel that appeals to consumers.

If it's too perfect, it isn't human.
