> Not their job; their whole personhood

I hate so much that while I read your reply this particularly phrasing was grating to me.

There's nothing wrong with it, and I have no doubts you, whoever you are, wrote it.

What annoys me to death is that a perfectly fine language construct is tarnished to a point that a mere glance reflexively caused me to wince, and I had to actively interpret it as fine.

Interesting, sounds like a similar experience to my reading of this reply

The root comment brings insight and value and stakes out a human position. I don’t see a need to snipe from the hedges

  • I think maybe they were saying that their personal AI slop detector had produced a false positive on "whole personhood", and they felt sad about that? Or perhaps I'm missing it.
